Temperature Adjustment
LAUDA Varioshake Shaking Incubators are set and adjusted at a temperature of 45 °C. Instructions for adjustment of the
temperature regulator are available on request for adjustment purposes during maintenance. Please state model and serial
numbers of the Shaking Incubator.
Checking the Acrylic Glass Cover
The acrylic glass cover is connected to the unit's housing by hinges. The closing motion of the cover is
slowed down by two gas pressure springs for safety reasons. The safe function of these gas pressure springs
must be checked in regular intervals when opening and closing the cover. Make sure that the cover does
not fall down undamped.
Shutdown caused by overload or power failure
The drive motor of the shaking device is protected against over-heating due to overload. The device will be switched off.
Caution, after the motor has cooled down, the shaking device restarts automatically (without gentle start-up control).
After a mains failure, the Incubator does not restart automatically, but has to be started as described in chapter 6.
Exchanging the fuses
The unit's two fuses are situated in a drawer below the unit's plug. In order to check or to exchange these
fuses, press the fixing clips on both sides of the drawer and pull.
The fuses may only be exchanged against 4 Amp fuses of the same type. Information on the fuse type can
be found on the nameplate next to the unit plug and in the spare parts list of these operating instructions. If
the unit is shut down due to an operation fault, always switch it off on the main switch before opening the cover and
touching parts in the unit's interior.
