To remove the rack, spread the metal tabs on
either end of the holder and lift out the
plastic Test Tube Rack.
To install the Test Tube Rack Holder onto the
shaker platform, remove the rack and rotate
the swing-bed of the holder 90° by pulling
the knobs of the locking pins on either end of
the holder outward. The pins are locked
outward by turning the knob 1/4-turn
(Figure 1-14). Attach the tray to the platform
with the screws provided.
The MaxQ Orbital Shaker is equipped with an RS-232 Serial
Communication Interface for the remote transmission of data. A RJ-11
telephone style connector is located on the left side of the incubator. A
cable with RJ-11 plugs and an RJ-11 to DB-25
adapter are required. Refer to Figure 1-16 for pin
identification and Figure 1-17 for connector
locations on the shaker side panel. A cable
mountable ferrite is included for installation of
the RJ-11 cable. Loop and snap (Figure 1-15) the
ferrite over the cable to reduce electro-magnetic
emissions from the unit. Attach the ferrite device
close to the unit.
