To install the Test Tube Rack Holder onto
the shaker platform, remove the rack and
rotate the swing-bed of the holder 90° by
pulling the knobs of the locking pins on
either end of the holder outward. The pins
are locked outward by turning the knob
1/4-turn (Figure 1-14). Attach the tray to
the platform with the screws provided.
The MaxQ Console Orbital Shaker is equipped with an RS-232 Serial
Communication Interface for the remote transmission of data. An RJ-11
telephone style connector is located on the left side of the incubator. A
cable with RJ-11 plugs and an RJ-11 to DB-25 adapter are required. Refer
to Figure 1-18 for connector locations on the shaker back panel. Figure 1-
15 identifies the RS-232 and Remote Alarm pin contacts.
The data is "dumb terminal" formatted, which permits interfacing with
either a computer or a serial printer.
