7.3 Starting the Equipment
see chapter 6. 'Putting into Operation'
7.4 Opening the Door, Pause
When the door opens, the shaker brakes gently and comes to a complete stop (unless the brake
function has been deliberately de-activated by the user). The working light goes on. As soon as the
shaker platform is still, the culture vessels can be handled.
The temperature control and the blowers stop working when the incubation chamber is opened in
order to avoid an internal environment change and reduce energy costs. The operational lights also
go out automatically.
If you close the door the blower, and the set-point control, will automatically start working again
after a brief delay.
The door should always be closed using the handle to prevent catching your fingers in the
mechanism.
7.5 Handling of the Shaking Load
- Stop the Shaker temporarily (open door slightly)
- Wait until the motor has come to a complete stop
- Open the door
- Manipulate the shaker contents
- Close the door again
- The shaker starts operating again automatically
ATTENTION: The moving shaker table can cause injuries because of the considerable
torque. The tray is therefore only to be handled in state of rest. If an error occurs with the door
switch, the equipment is to be stopped with the door closed and the main switch turned off.
7.6 Inserting and Removal of the optional adhesive matting tray
With the standard product, the shaker platform can accept clamps and reagent tube holders, but an
optional tray with adhesive matting can be fitted.
- Place the tray on the shaker table, so that a small edge can be seen.
- Fasten the table into place with the 4 cross-head screws supplied.
ON NO ACCOUNT START THE SHAKER IF THE TRAY IS NOT CORRECTLY MOUNTED!
For the mounting, remove the four cross-head screws and lift the tray out.
7.7 Installation of the optional shelf
A shelf for static incubation is available as an option. The weight-bearing capacity is a maximum of 5 kg. In
order to avoid drying out when incubating for longer periods of time, we recommend sealing agar slants
with an appropriate sealing film (e.g. Parafilm) or placing them in an open plastic bag.
The shelf can be used in either one of two positions by flipping it over:
Lower position: allows incubation of Erlenmeyer flasks up to 1 L volume on the shaker
-
(depending on the height of the stopper)
higher position: allows incubation of Erlenmeyer flasks up to 2 L volume on the shaker
-
(depending on the height of the stopper)
