Innova Shaker that has been repaired or altered outside the NBS factory without prior authorization from New Brunswick Scientific. For a period of two years (or more) after the shipment date, the Innova warranty will be in effect as long as the shaker has not been in operation for a total of 10,000 hours.
Innova 4300. The manual is divided into three basic sections. Chapters 1-2 provide an overview of the Innova 4300 and all of its features and options. Chapters 3-4 detail the set-up, installation and operation of the instrument. Chapter 5 outlines troubleshooting and service procedures, which should be utilized only by a qualified service engineer.
• Deviations of shaking speed or temperature outside of tolerance limits A wide variety of platforms can be used with the Innova 4300. Dedicated platforms are available for a variety of flask sizes. A Universal platform and test tube racks are available.
Make sure the voltage set on the voltage selector switch (see Figure 2) matches the voltage specified on the CAUTION label located over the power cord connection on the rear panel. For details, see Section 3.2. New Brunswick Scientific User’s Guide...

& & The Innova 4300 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 & Inspection Upon unpacking the unit, inspect it carefully for any apparent damage which may have occurred during transit.
Leveling The Innova 4300 should be installed on an even surface. The eight feet can be adjusted for leveling when necessary. Adjustment can be made by loosening the locking nuts on the threaded studs attached to the feet, then retightening when the level condition is attained.
3. Set the circuit breaker on the front of the unit to the OFF position. CAUTION! A grounded electrical outlet is necessary for the safe operation of this unit. 4. Connect the power cord to the power cord connection and then to a grounded electrical outlet. New Brunswick Scientific User’s Guide...

Starting the Innova 4300 To initially start the instrument, push the ON/OFF switch on the right side of the shaker to the ON position. NOTE: The LED display will flash to indicate that the shaker has been off or the power to the shaker has been interrupted.
“Off”, the time indicator will flash, and the audible alarm will sound (if it is enabled). 4. The setpoint may be changed during a run without stopping the shaker by following steps 1 and 2. INNOVA 4300 • M1193-0050 User’s Guide...
3. While the SET LED is lit, press the START/STOP key. The TIME indicator will go out and the display will read “Off”. Alarm Functions Innova 4300 has an audible alarm which is activated at predetermined times. It may be deactivated in the following way: 1. Press SELECT to light HRS.
The alarms will be activated until the speed is within 5 RPM or the temperature is within 1.0°C of the setpoint. The alarm will not sound when the shaker is accelerating or the temperature is changing to satisfy a new setpoint. INNOVA 4300 • M1193-0050 User’s Guide...
To return to the factory calibration: 1. Press the SELECT key until the °C function indicator illuminates. 2. Simultaneously press the ∆ and ∇ keys. The SET and MAINT indicators will light. New Brunswick Scientific User’s Guide...
3. While the SET and MAINT indicators are illuminated, press the START/STOP key. Total Running Time The control module of the Innova 4300 totals the time the shaker has been “ON” to track hours of usage. To display the accumulated running time: 1.
