The Advanced Orbital Shaker has been designed for the speed and time functions
to work independently of one another. The speed can be re-set without re-setting
the timer and the timer can be stopped and started without interrupting the shaking
function.
1. Getting ready:
a. Plug the cord into a properly grounded outlet. The standby indicator light will
illuminate, verifying power to the shaker.
b. Press the standby button to move the unit from standby mode. The standby
indicator light will turn off and the speed and time displays will illuminate, dis-
playing the previously used settings.

2. Setting speed:

a. Press the up/down arrow below the speed display until you reach the desired
speed. When you release the button, the display will blink off and then on indi-
cating the new set speed has been accepted.
b. Press the on/off button to start the shaking function. The indicator light below
the speed display will illuminate and blink until the setpoint is reached. Once the
set-point is reached the light will stop blinking and remain lit until shaking has
ceased. The microprocessor controlled ramping feature slowly increases speed
until the set-point is reached which helps to avoid splashing, and provides
excellent low end control.
c. Speed adjustments can be made without interrupting shaking by using the up/
down arrows below the speed display. After the change has been made and
you release the button, the display will blink off and then on indicating the new
set speed has been accepted.
d. To stop the shaking function press the on/off button below the speed display.
The speed indicator light will turn off.

3. Setting time to zero (0:00) and continuous mode: Accumulated time.

a. Press and hold the on/off button below the time display. After three (3) seconds,
the display will indicate the previous set time.

use the up/down arrows to get to zero (0:00).
c. Press the on/off button below the time display. The display will indicate accumu-
lated time. The up/down arrows will become inactive. To stop timer, press the

4. Setting timed mode: Programmed time.

a. Press the up/down arrows below the time display until you reach the desired
time.
b. Start this function by pressing the on/off button below the time display. The unit
will run for the selected time, the up/down arrows will become inactive while
the timer is running. The unit will stop shaking when time display reaches zero
(0:00). Four (4) audible beeps will indicate the count down function is complete.
The time display will default back to the set time. To repeat for the same time,
simply depress the on/off button again.
c. To interrupt an automatic timing cycle before it is completed, press the on/
off button below the time display. The display will flash off and on to indicate
the time function is on "hold". IMPORTANT: This will NOT interrupt the shak-
ing function. Press the on/off button below the speed display to interrupt the
shaking function. Restart the timer by pressing the on/off button below the
time display. Unit will continue counting down to zero (0:00). When the display
reaches zero (0:00), you will hear the four (4) audible beeps that indicate the
count down function is complete and the shaking function will cease.
