Setting up and starting
9.1
Attaching clamps for vessels to the platform (11)
Spring clips can be supplied to secure round vessels, e.g.
Erlenmeyer flasks or beakers, to the platform.
Maximum clamp number see chapter 11.
9.2
Filling in the bath liquid
Liquid level: Can be selected anywhere between 50 and
180 mm (Thus, filling level dependent on objects used in the
bath.)
Only use
water
or
water with antifreeze
.
9.3
Ideal operating conditions for the shaking
movement
The following should be considered in order to warrant ideal
operating conditions:
a)
Type and level of the bath liquid.
b)
Number, size, and weight of the test vessels.
c)
Amplitude of the shaking carriage movement.
d)
Number of carriage cycles per time unit
(shaking frequency).
The limiting conditions for the shaking movement:
1)
Too large a shaking movement will cause high
waves on the bath surface so that the liquid will
splash over the top.
2)
Large and heavy test vessels are attached to the
platform and the amplitude and /or the frequency
are too high. This means an overload for the
shaking drive:
An overload could lead to a standstill of the driving
motor and eventually to its destruction if such
operating conditions are kept up over a longer
period of time.
