In addition, the warranty does not apply to any Innova shaker that has been repaired or altered outside the NBS factory without prior authorization from New Brunswick Scientific Co., Inc. After 10,000 hours of operating time have elapsed, the Innova warranty may still be in effect as long as the two-year minimum warranty period has not been reached.
The Innova 4000 Digital Incubator Shaker will provide you with reliable and maintenance- free operation which is characteristic of all NBS shakers. The Innova 4000 is among the newest generation of NBS Shakers and incorporates a variety of state-of-the-art components and features to permit the precision operation necessary for your exacting scientific experiments.
Additionally, the Innova 4000 has analog outputs for a chart recorder to record speed and/or temperature. See Section 5.6 for Recorder Adaptation. Figure 1 and Figure 2 below show the front and rear views of the Innova 4000. For safe operation, the Innova 4000 is provided with a safety switch which automatically stops the shaker mechanism when the lid is lifted.
Confirm the voltage setting by checking the voltage selection on the voltage selector switch (Figure 2) against the voltage listed on the Caution label located over the power cord connection. If necessary, refer to Section 5.2 on Changing Voltages. New Brunswick Scientific User’s Guide...

(in degrees Celsius) Platform Assemblies The Innova 4000 can be used with a wide variety of NBS 18 inch x 18 inch (46 cm x 46 cm) platforms, which will accept a variety of clamps for flasks and test tubes (see Section 6.4.2).
Triple Eccentric Drive The Triple Eccentric Drive (see Figure 4 below) is used in the Innova Shakers employs the same proven technology which has driven New Brunswick Scientific’s shakers for over 30 years. This drive mechanism utilizes a counterweight system to stabilize the rotary motion produced during operation.
2.6.3 Motor The Innova 4000 Shaker uses a 3-phase brushless ball bearing DC motor. This low profile motor provides high torque along with quiet, efficient operation and low maintenance. The motor has a rating of 1/15 horsepower.
The Innova 4000 is a versatile instrument which can be operated in a continuous fashion or set for a timed run. The following section describes set-up and installation procedures. Unpacking and Inspection Upon unpacking the unit, inspect it carefully for any damage which may have occurred during transit.
