5. Turning unit off:
a. To turn the unit off, press the standby button. The speed and time displays will
be blank, the standby indicator light will illuminate. The Heavy Duty Shaker
should be kept in standby mode when not in use. To completely cut off power to
the unit, disconnect the power cord from the unit or unplug from the wall outlet.
OPERATING TIPS
Centering your sample and even weight distribution on the tray helps with balance
and stability. As a safety feature, a built-in program will shut power off to the motor if
the tray is prevented from rotating, or the unit is overloaded beyond its recommended
weight capacity. The shaker will automatically restart after a power interruption. Built-in
memory maintains the last used speed and time settings during a power interruption.
LOAD SENSING FUNCTION (Digital Heavy Duty Shakers Model 16KG and up)
The Digital Heavy Duty Shaker is equipped with a load sensing function that can be
activated by the user. This function provides protection against improper positioning of
load and maximum load being exceeded. When activated, the unit will automatically
sense improper load conditions and slow to a safe running speed, then display that
speed followed by E04 on the speed display. The unit will also beep three (3) times
every 60 seconds until the error is reset by pressing the speed on/off button. To
activate the load sensing function use the following steps:
1. Place the unit in standby mode.
2. Press and hold the speed on/off button and press the standby button. The unit will
beep two (2) times, confirming the function is enabled.
3. To restore normal operation, remove AC power to the unit for ten (10) seconds
and then restore. If the E04 error occurs be sure the load is within the maximum
specification and properly balanced (centered on tray) and/or reduce sample
size/speed before restarting the unit. If the E04 occurs due to acceptable sample
vibration or another vibration source, the vibration sensing function can be disabled
as described above.
ADDITIONAL LOAD SENSING FEATURE
The Digital Heavy Duty Shaker Models 3750 and up, are equipped with an additional
overload protection feature that lets the user know when the unit’s set speed is higher
than the achievable speed of the unit. The unit speed display will show an E7. The
unit will also beep three (3) times every 60 seconds until the error is reset by pressing
the speed on/off button.
To disable this feature perform the following steps:
1. Place the unit in standby mode by pressing the standby button.
2. Press and hold the speed up button and press on/off button. The unit will beep two
(2) times, confirming the function is disabled.
3. To restore unit to normal operation, remove AC power to unit (unplug power cord
from wall outlet) for ten (10) seconds and restart.
BEEPER PREFERENCE
To silence beeper operation (except for error codes), with the unit in standby mode,
press and hold the time on/off button and press the standby button. To restore normal
beeper operation, remove AC power to unit for ten (10) seconds and then restore.
