Please follow the procedure below if setting the 5000IR unit’s temperature at/near the

room’s ambient temperature.

For optimum temperature control in the chamber of the 5000IR unit, the upper ambient

control limit is to be set a minimum of 3°C above the measured room temperature.

Example: Measured (ambient) temperature is 22°C, the upper ambient control limit

should be set at a minimum of 25°C.

With the uinit at the heat/cool setting as described below, and in cool mode (“cool”

on time display), a temperature setting is displayed in the temperature window. The

default temperature setting of the 5000IR is 28°C. This is the factory set upper ambient

control limit. This setting can be adjusted between 20°C and 32°C by the end user.

• Any unit set point above the upper limit setting will heat only

• Any unit set point below 20°C will cool only

• Any set point between 20°C and the selected upper limit setting, up to 32°C,

the chiller and heater will both control chanber temperature

Heat/Cool Setting Procedure to Adjust Upper Ambient Control Limit

1. Put unit in standby mode.

2. Press and hold the speed down and time down time arrows simultaneously, now

press the standby button. Release all buttons.

3. Time display will not read “cool” and the temperature display will read 28°C. If

the time display reads “heat” press the time up/down arrow until the word “cool”

appears in the display.

4. Now you can set the upper ambient control limit. Using the temperature up/

down arrows adjust this temperature to be 3°C above the measured ambient

temperature.

5. Once the desired temperature is selected, press the standby button to return to

normal operation.

6. This procedure does not require recalibrating the unit.

Additional 5000IR Notes:

• 5000IR units have a toggle switch on the left side. This switch must be in the

“on” position (depress “I”) for the unit to function properly.

• For 5000IR units, make sure the chiller’s hose is positioned to drain freely (into

a sink when possible).

• Do not allow the end of the chiller hose to become submerged.

• If chiller hose is positioned in a drain container, the container should have a

volume of at least 2 gallons if the unit will be unattended for 48 hours.

5000Ir UPPer aMbIent control lIMIt

The Incubating Orbital Shaker has been designed for the temperature, speed and

time functions to work independently of one another. The temperature and speed can

be reset without resetting the timer and the timer can be stopped and started without

interrupting the heating and shaking functions.

1. Getting ready:

a. Plug the power cord into a properly grounded outlet. The standby indicator light

will illuminate, verifying power to the unit.

b. Press the standby button to move the unit from standby mode. The standby

indicator light will turn off and the temperature, speed and time displays will

illuminate, displaying the previously used settings.

Note: 5000IR units have a toggle switch on the left side. This switch must be in the

“on” position (depress “I”) for the unit to function properly.

Note: See the procedure on page 8 for 5000IR units that will have the chamber

temperature set at/near the ambient temperature.

2. Setting temperature:

a. Press the up/down arrows below the temperature display until you reach the

desired temperature. When you release the button, the display will blink off and

then on indicating the new set temperature has been accepted.

b. Press the on/off button to start the heating function. The indicator light below the

temperature display will illuminate to indicate the heating function is in use and

remain lit until heating has ceased.

c. Temperature adjustments can be made without interrupting heating by using

the up/down arrows below the temperature display. After the change has been

made and you release the button, the display will blink off and then on indicating

the new set temperature has been accepted.

d. To stop the heating function, press the on/off button below the temperature

display. The heat indicator light will turn off.

CAUTION HOT indicator:

the speed display will illuminate and blink until the set-point is reached. Once

the set-point is reached the light will stop blinking and remain lit until shaking

has ceased. The micro-processor controlled ramping feature slowly increases

speed until the set-point is reached which helps to avoid splashing, and provides

excellent low end control.

c. Speed adjustments can be made without interrupting shaking by using the up/

down arrows below the speed display. After the change has been made and you

release the button, the display will blink off and then on indicating the new set

speed has been accepted.

d. To stop the shaking function, press the on/off button below the speed display.

The speed indicator light will turn off.

6. Turning unit off:

a. To turn the unit off, press the standby button. The temperature, speed and time

displays will be blank, the standby indicator light will illuminate. The Incubating

Orbital Shaker should be kept in standby mode when not in use. To completely

cut off power to the unit, disconnect the power cord from the unit or unplug from

the wall outlet.

OPERATING TIPS

Opening the lid on the Incubating Orbital Shaker will cause the unit to pause shaking

and/or heating. Close the lid and the unit will resume shaking and/or heating at cur-

rent settings.

Centering your sample and even weight distribution on the tray helps with

balance and stability.

As a safety feature, a built-in program will shut power off to the motor if the tray is pre-

vented from rotating, or the unit is overloaded beyond its recommended weight capacity.

The shaker will automatically restart after a power interruption. Built-in memory main-

tains the last used temperature, speed and time settings during a power interruption.

LOAD SENSING FUNCTION

The Incubating Orbital Shaker is equipped with a load sensing function that can be

activated by the user. This function provides protection against improper positioning

of load and maximum load being exceeded. When activated, the unit will automatically

sense improper load conditions and slow to a safe running speed, then display that

speed followed by an E04 error message on the speed display. The unit will also beep

three (3) times every 60 seconds until the error is reset by pressing the speed on/off

button. To activate the load sensing function use the following steps:

1. Place the unit in standby mode.

2. Press and hold the speed on/off button and press the standby button. The unit will

beep two (2) times, confirming the function is enabled.

4. Setting time to zero (0:00) and continuous mode: Accumulated time.

a. Press and hold the on/off button below the time display. After three (3) seconds

the display will indicate the previous set time.

b. Simultaneously press both the up and the down arrows, the display will indicate

zero (0:00). The unit time is now set to zero (0:00) minutes. Alternately, you can

use the up/down arrows to get to zero (0:00).

c. Press the on/off button below the time display. The display will indicate accu-

mulated time. The up/down arrows will become inactive. To stop timer, press the

on/off button again. IMPORTANT: This will NOT interrupt the shaking function.

Press the on/off button below the speed display to interrupt the shaking function.

d. To reset, press and hold the on/off button below the time display. After three (3)

seconds the display will indicate the previous set time, which was zero (0:00).

5. Setting timed mode: Programmed time.

a. Press the up/down arrows below the time display until you reach the desired

time.

b. Start this function by pressing the on/off button below the time display. The unit

will run for the selected time, the up/down arrows will become inactive while

the timer is running. The unit will stop shaking when time display reaches zero

(0:00). Four (4) audible beeps will indicate the count down function is complete.

The time display will default back to the set time. To repeat for the same time,

simply press the on/off button again.

c. To interrupt an automatic timing cycle before it is completed, press the on/

off button below the time display. The display will flash off and on to indicate

the time function is on “hold”. IMPORTANT: This will NOT interrupt the shak-

ing function. Press the on/off button below the speed display to interrupt the

shaking function. Restart the timer by pressing the on/off button below the

time display. Unit will continue counting down to zero (0:00). When the display

reaches zero (0:00), you will hear the four (4) audible beeps that indicate the

count down function is complete and the shaking function will cease.

oPeratIng InstrUctIons (cont’d)

This process may be repeated at the same set-point, multiple times for fine tuning if

desired.

The unit will now use the biased offset for that specific temperature setting and

increase or decrease temperature accordingly to bring the temperature to set

temperature. The decimal point of the display will flash to indicate a biased off-

set is being used. All other temperature settings will use the standard internal

calibration. This offset will be stored in memory and retained until reset.

To restore unit to factory setting:

Press and hold the standby button while pressing the temperature down arrow once.

The reset will be confirmed with two (2) audible beeps. Press the standby button to exit

calibration mode and return to normal heating.

Speed Calibration Procedure:

This procedure is used to self calibrate the incubating shakers. The tray should be free

of any samples, vessels, and accessories prior to calibrating.

1. Turn unit on. Speed and time displays will be illuminated.

2. Press and hold the standby button and momentarily press the speed on/off button.

The speed display should read “CAL”.

3. The unit will be run for approximately one (1) minute and automatically calibrate.

RS-232 SERIAL PORT

The RS-232 serial port provides two-way communications for data logging and unit

control.

3. To restore normal operation, remove AC power to the unit for ten (10) seconds and

then restore.

If the E04 error occurs be sure the load is within the maximum specification and properly

balanced (centered on tray) and/or reduce sample size/speed before restarting the

unit. If the E04 error occurs due to acceptable sample vibration or another vibration

source, the vibration sensing function can be disabled as described above.

BEEPER PREFERENCE (muting audible alarm)

To silence beeper operation (except for error codes), with the unit in standby mode,

press and hold the time on/off button and press the standby button. Release the

standby button first, and then release the on/off button. To restore normal beeper

operation, remove AC power to unit for ten (10) seconds and then restore.

SINGLE POINT CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

This procedure is used to fine tune and calibrate the Incubating Orbital Shaker at a

specific temperature setting. This process may be repeated for up to three (3) sepa-

rate set-points. If a fourth calibration set-point is entered, the first set-point entered

will be overwritten.

1. Turn unit on.

2. Set desired temperature.

3. Stabilize one (1) hour or more, measuring the temperature with a temperature

probe/thermometer.

4. Press and hold standby button, then press the temperature up arrow once. The

unit will beep two (2) times, confirming calibration mode. The display will now be

flashing.

5. Press the temperature up/down arrows until the display matches the temperature

probe/thermometer.
