Model SHKE435HP and SHKE436HP shakers are microprocessor-
controlled incubated orbital console shakers designed to accommodate a
wide variety of flasks, test tubes and other glassware. The control system is
easily programmed and stores the user-defined time, temperature and
speed settings in battery-supported memory that remain even when the
shaker is turned off and unplugged.
The platform speed controller continuously adjusts for line voltage
fluctuations and provides smooth transitions with consistent control. The
circuitry is designed to slowly bring the platform up to speed and down to
a stop to prevent liquid splashing from flasks or test tubes.
An insulated lid with viewing port is counter-balanced for easy opening by
hand or foot pedal. A safety interlock requires that the lid be closed for the
drive motor, circulating fans and heating elements to operate.
Caution It may take up to one minute to bring the platform up to full
speed. Never leave the shaker unattended when starting it.
Caution Make sure all flasks and test tube racks are firmly seated in the
clips and check the security of the flask clip and platform attachment
screws monthly.
s
Caution Do not operate the shaker at maximum speed without a load.
