2. Press power switch a second time (O) to turn off shaker.
Note
There will be a 3 second delay from the time power is turned On to
the time the shaker is activated. Control panel will illuminate when shaker
power is activated. An audible tone will sound before the display lights.
Setting Shaking Speed
1. Hold down appropriate arrow key in the speed module of the control
panel, up or down, until desired speed is set up to 500 rpm. SET RPM
light will illuminate.
2. Press START switch to begin shaking. RPM light will illuminate.
3. Press STOP switch to end shaking. SET RPM light will illuminate.
Note
Speed can be changed without pressing the start or stop switches.
Simply press the appropriate up or down key until desired rpm is reached.
An audible tone will sound before the display lights.
Calibrating Shaking Speed
1. Choose a speed for which calibration is desired by using the shaker’s
up or down arrow keys.
2. Measure current shaker speed by using a digital hand-held tachometer.
3. If the tachometer reading matches the shaker display, no calibration is
necessary. If the tachometer reading is different from the shaker’s
display, then calibration is required.
4. To get into Calibration mode, hold down the START key, press and
release the STOP key, then release the START key.
5. The decimal point on the SPEED display will flash, indicating
Calibration mode.
6. Use the up or down arrow keys to set the shaker speed to match the
tachometer’s readout.
7. Press STOP key to enter the new speed value.
8. Press START key to exit Calibration mode.
