Thermo Scientific Forma 416, Operating And Maintenance Manual

Page: 12 / 56

The electrical power requirements of the shakers are:
90-125 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 1 PH, 1.0 FLA
180-250 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 1PH, 0.5 FLA
Because these Orbital Shakers operate at a wide range of voltages, the
electrical line cord is not permanently wired to the unit. Instead, a line
cord receptacle is provided which accepts power cords for 115 or 230 volts.
A voltage selector switch is located on the rear panel of the shaker adjacent
to the line cord receptacle. Set the switch for the voltage in use at the
laboratory site, using a small flatblade screwdriver. Refer to the illustration
below, and to Figure 1-16.
Figure 1-7. Voltage Selector Switch
Caution Before plugging in the shaker, verify that the voltage select switch
is set for the electrical service available. ▲
The electric power switch (mains disconnect) is located on the lower front
corner of the left side panel.
Each Flask Clip up to 6.0 liters in size comes with a metal spring which
must be installed onto the clip. For flask clips through 500 ml, insert the
end of each spring into the holes on the top of the clip leg as shown in
Figures 1-8 and 1-9.
