Labnet S2020-P4-B Orbit Digital Shakers Instruction Manual

Labnet S2020-P4-B Orbit Digital Shakers Instruction Manual

Introduction

The Labnet Orbit™ Digital Shakers are intended for shaking microliter plates, tubes, bottles, flasks, dishes and other laboratory vessels. The shakers are driven by asynchronous motors, which enable silent operation and constant shaking speed independent of the load or power supply fluctuations.

Each shaker device consists of two main components:

• Motor with eccentric mechanism
• Control electronics

The motor drives the shaker’s eccentric mechanics and generates shaking effect. The electronics control the motor RPM, TIME, and keyboard functions.

Safety Precautions

• Always plug the unit into a properly grounded and fused outlet.
• Do not use the device near water sources. Take care so that water will not fall on the device, especially during cleaning procedures.
• Do not use the device in a caustic or explosive atmosphere.
• There are no user serviceable parts in the unit. Opening the unit may void the warranty. In case of a malfunction or liquid being spilled into the unit, unplug the device from its power outlet and contact Corning Customer Service.

NOTE: In the case that the device does not function properly even if you have exactly followed the instructions described in the User’s Manual, contact Corning Customer Service. If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by this manual, the equipment may become unsafe to operate, could harm the user or the device, and may void the warranty.

Do not shake inflammable or explosive samples or use the unit in an inflammable or explosive environment.

Installation

Unpacking
Before starting installation, carefully examine the shaker for damage or missing parts.

• Open the box, and lift the device together with the inner packing out of the box.
• Remove the inner packing and check that the shaker has not been visibly damaged during transportation. Keep the packing material until you are sure that the shaker works properly.
• Check information on the rear data label and verify the following are correct:
  • Model
  • Serial number
  • Electrical rating

Should any kind of damage have occurred during transportation, contact the carrier immediately. The carrier is responsible for shipping damage.

Selecting the Location

• Put the device on a horizontal, leveled, and stable surface.
• Leave enough space around the device for normal air circulation (4 in./10 cm minimum).
• Leave enough space around the device for easy access and maintenance.
• Do not use the device in surroundings where there are major temperature and humidity fluctuations. Also avoid locations in direct sunlight or places near devices that produce heat.
•  Avoid locations with excessive vibrations.

Attaching the Power Cord
Fit the main power cord, which is included in the package, into the power receptacle on the shaker. Connect the other end of the cord to a properly grounded wall outlet. To avoid interference from noise, surges, and spikes, a dedicated line is preferred. If no such line is available, avoid lines to which powerful electric motors, refrigerators, and similar devices are connected.

**** Be careful when you plug the cord to a grounded wall socket. Do not touch plug with wet hands. Do not pull the plug by the cord.

Installing Shaker Platforms

Labnet Orbit P4
Unit comes with the platform already installed.

Labnet Orbit™ 300

Before you attach the platform, make sure that the slide stabilizers are properly fastened, adjusted and lubricated with the included grease.

The flat mat platform has a circle cut-out in the rubber and screw holes in the center. Remove the cutout rubber circle and screw down the four screws onto the shaker. After attaching the platform, remove the non-adhesive backing paper on the rubber circle and paste it back into place.

The grease which you use to lubricate the slide stabilizers is sufficient for 1,000 working hours (1 year). After  that time you should remove the shaking platform and clean, adjust, and re-grease the slide stabilizers. If they are worn out, you should replace them with new stabilizers and set to appropriate height

Labnet Orbit 1000 and Orbit 1900
The Orbit 1000 and Orbit 1900 shakers have a variety of platforms to meet most shaking needs. These platforms mount to the shakers via four mounting platforms which easily plug into four rubber mount points on the top of the shaker.

Operating Instructions

Control Panel

1. POWER switch: Turns the shaker ON (power switch illuminates) or OFF
2. RUN green light: Illuminates when the shaker is running
3. TIME yellow light: Illuminates when the shaker is set on time
4. RPM yellow light: Illuminates when the shaker is set on rpm
5. ENCODER: By rotating the encoder knob right (+) or left (-) you can change the set TIME or RPM. Push the encoder knob to switch between TIME and RPM set values. If you rotate the encoder knob fast, the values go up or down on the display very quickly
6. START/STOP button: START or STOP operation

Basic Operation

• Press the POWER switch on control panel. The Labnet Orbit™ Digital Shaker automatically detects supply frequency of 50 or 60Hz, and displays F50 or F60.
  

• Then the display switches to show the set time and illuminates the Time light.
  

• Time signal light is on. By rotating the encoder knob right (+) or left (-) the set time can be selected from 30 sec. to 99 min. 50 sec.:

  • 99.5 = 99 min. 50 sec.
  • 9.59 = 9 min. 59 sec.
  • 0.30 = 30 sec.
    If you want to set the timer to Hold, turn the knob left or right until “HLd” is displayed.
    You can reach the “HLd” function by setting to under 0.30 or above 99.5.
    

• Push the encoder knob to switch modes between time set mode and RPM set mode. RPM signal light is on. By rotating the encoder knob right (+) or left (-) the desired RPM can be selected:

  • 34 = 340 rpm
  • 120 = 1,200 rpm
    

• Press START/STOP button to start operation. RUN and TIME signal lights. Shaker runs and counts down time from set value.
  NOTE: You cannot modify the set time during shaking; however, you can stop the unit with the START/STOP button and then reset the time.
  

Changing the RPM during shaking

• Push the encoder knob to put the shaker into RPM set mode (RPM signal light will be on).
  

•  Rotate the encoder knob right (+) or left (-) to set the desired value. In the meantime RPM signal light will flash.

• When you stop rotating the encoder knob the signal light for RPM will stop flashing after 2 sec.

• When the run time has elapsed or when you press the START/STOP button, End will show on the display, and the Run light will flash.

• When the shaker completely stops the set speed and time will return to the last programmed values.
  

Additional Operations

• If you want to view the set value for RPM during shaking, rotate the encoder knob for ONE CLICK right (+) or left (-). RPM signal light will then flash for 2 sec., and the display will show the set RPM and the light will stop flashing.
  NOTE: Shaker must be in RPM mode – RPM signal light must be on.
  

• If you want to view the set value for TIME during shaking, rotate the encoder knob for ONE CLICK right (+) or left (-). Time signal light will then flash for 2 sec., and the display will show the set TIME and the light will stop flashing.
  NOTE: Shaker must be in TIME mode — TIME signal must be on.
  

Troubleshooting

• Check the power source.
• Check fuses.
