4 Transport, Set-up and Location of the Shaking Apparatus
Protect yourself and the unit during transport and setup by working carefully and avoid danger of e. g. shifting or tilting the
unit. Place on solid, even and level surfaces inside buildings only. The location must provide sufficient space as well as the
necessary carrying capacity for the unit (unit weight as per Technical Data, of this Operating Instructions, plus weight of
the accessories and load). The unit is suitable for bench mounting indoors and for use in incubation and tempering rooms.
For use in incubation and tempering rooms please observe the environmental conditions stated in the Technical Data.
The Shaking Apparatus is not suitable for use in explosion endangered surroundings, e. g. during anaesthesia with inflam-
mable gas or steam types. In some Shaking Apparatus models, a paperboard strip has been inserted as a transport protec-
tion between shaking table and housing. The paperboard strip must be removed before installation.
5 Operating Voltage
The Shaking Apparatus must be connected to the mains through a correctly installed shock-proof socket or through an
on-site main switch. The Shaking Apparatus is a protection class I electrical appliance, a connection to the earth conductor
(PE) must be ensured. For information on the required mains fuse please view Technical Data of this manual. The electri-
cal connection must ensure an all-pole separation of the Shaking Apparatus from the mains at any time.
The left knob of the unit (only models VS 8 OE and VS 8 BE) must be off (position O). The voltage on
the nameplate (at the back of the unit) must be identical to the mains voltage. If they are identical, con-
nect the unit to the mains. For further information, please also refer to chapter 13 of these operating
instructions "Connection to the Mains Supply".
6 Initiation – analog control VS 8 OE, VS 8 BE
Caution:
due to increased risk of injury never reach into the unit as long as it is still in motion.
Caution:
by all means make sure to prevent the shaking procedure creating an explosive atmosphere during opera-
tion of the Shaking Apparatus.
Before initiation turn the left-hand control knob anti-clockwise to limit stop (minimum shaking frequency). Then turn
right-hand control knob clockwise until the green pilot lamp glows.
Choosing the operation mode 6.1
For continuous operation turn the knob to the first scale line; the knob will
catch there. To switch off, turn the knob anti-clockwise to position 0. For
timed runs turn the control knob past the scale line for continuous run to
the scale graduation marks for timed runs, showing time limits in minutes.
The maximum timed period is 60 minutes. After expiry of the timed run, the
Shaking Apparatus will be switched off automatically. Timed runs chosen by
mistake can be reversed by turning the control knob anti-clockwise. To
switch off the Shaking Apparatus, turn the control anti-clockwise to position
0.
