Useful facts

With the purchase of this device, you have acquired a high-quality
product. The design of the unit and its special shape ensure ease
of handing and problem-free work. the materials used and an exact
designation of them will significantly facilitate and simplify recycling
and reuse of parts.
The speed-controlled external rotor asynchronous motor allows for
infinitie speed adjustment in the range from 0 to 500 rpm (KS) and 0
to 300 rpm (HS). Electronic motor control holds the set speed constant
even if the weight of the material on the surface increases. The heat
given off by the motor can be used to heat up the holding surface for
the agitation containers.
The Control variant of the device is equipped with a locking device. This
makes it possible to fasten the agitation table in a defined position. By
removing the rubber feet, the device can be connected or screwed in
place in a defined position or with a system located next to it. Make
certain that the maximum depth of 5 mm for inserting the screws is
not exceeded.
The Control variant of the device can be delivered with a reverse opera-
ting mode (clockwise / counterclockwise motion) for the vibration table
on request. However, the reverse operation mode can only be used by
means of the serial interface in combination with a PC (for example
with labworldsoft ® ). If the device is not operated on a serial interface,
it behaves like a Control device without reverse operation mode.
It is easy to exchange the various attachments.
The Control device variant is equipped with a serial interface that
makes it possible to control the device through the PC (for example
with labworldsoft ® .

Commissioning

Check whether the voltage specified on the type plate matches the
mains voltage available. The power socket used must be earthed
(protective earth conductor contact). If these conditions are met, the
device is ready to operate after plugging in the mains plug. If these
procedures are not followed, safe operation cannot be guaranteed
and/or the equipment may be damaged.
Observe the ambient conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.) listed
under Technical Data.
When you turn on the basic device variant, the turn button for the time
setting must be in the middle setting (not activated).
If the mounting surface is not even, you can improve the safety level
of the device in reference to how it stands with the adjustable feet. To
do this, turn the appropriate device foot downward with the wrench
(included with delivery) until the device is standing securely on the
surface.

Switching on

The device can be turned with the flip switch A on the front side of the
unit. After you have turned on the power switch to position I, all light
diodes of the basic variant will light up for a brief time in the display
windows as a self-test that follows. The red light diode in the TIME LED
line and the OFF mode of the device light (audio signal).
All elements of the display will flash using the control unit and the
self test operation will be shown on the display. All important safety
functions will be tested. The appliance is operable after this check.
To prevent the foot of
the device from coming
loose by itself, hold
down the foot with one
hand and tighten the
oppsite hexagonal nut
with the other hand until
it is finger tight.
