12 / 26 Varioshake Shaking Incubator 09/2020
When opening the Shaking Incubator's cover, a control switch will cut off both heating and shaking device. After closing
the cover, the Incubator will restart operation with the set values of temperature and shaking frequency.
Caution:
only after the shaking platform has come to a complete stop, the cover may be opened to reach into the
unit.
RC Operation via PC
An interface module with a terminal on the back of the Incubator produces the data transmission format RS 232. The
interface enables reading of current actual and set values at any time. In order to set values for the temperature and shak-
ing frequency in a defined time-span, the Incubator has to be switched to remote control mode via a PC signal. Being in
remote control mode, the incubator cannot be operated manually. An interface protocol is available for operation of the
Shaking Incubator's RS 232 interface. Please advise model and serial number of the incubator.
Caution:
before operating the unit in RC mode, both unit and interior assembly of the Incubator must be carefully
checked. The Incubator must be operated in direct sight. Take special care in the vicinity of the automati-
cally operated unit.
Shutdown
To turn off the unit for longer shutdown times, first switch the main switch to position O and disconnect the unit from the
mains. Empty the interior, if necessary, dry and clean the interior to prevent bacterial contamination.
7 Error Codes and Temperature Cut-out
Error Codes
The alarm functions for over- and under-temperature are switched on once the set temperature
has been reached for the first time after the temperature regulation has been started. Errors that
are due to external influences or to an operational fault are shown acoustically and visually. The
display shows either E01 for over-temperature alarm, or E02 for under-temperature alarm. The
heating is switched off until key 22 is pressed to cut off the alarm signal.
In case of under-temperature the acoustic alarm is cut off immediately, the visual alarm is cut off
after exceeding the set alarm point. In case of over-temperature both acoustic and visual alarms
are switched off at the same time. If the alarm occurs recurrently, the Incubator should be
checked by a trained electrician.
