SECTION 7
OPERATION
BE ADVISED:
DANGER:
DO NOT USE IN THE PRESENCE OF FLAMMABLE OR COMBUST-
IBLE MATERIALS OR EXPLOSIVE GASES; DO NOT USE IN THE PRESENCE
OF PRESSURIZED OR SEALED CONTAINERS—FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY
RESULT CAUSING DEATH OR SEVERE INJURY.
Using a small flat-blade screwdriver, turn safety thermostat (located in
the lower right hand corner of the front of the unit—remove small plastic button
to
access) to the extreme clockwise position before connecting unit to power
supply. Proceed to the next step.
POWER ON/OFF SWITCH:
After following instructions in INSTALLATION section, and being certain
that the unit is connected to a power source meeting the designation on the
nameplate, use Power switch to turn on the unit. The speed control and timer
modules on the control panel will illuminate.
SPEED CONTROL:
This module provides a 3-digit readout of the speed of rotation up to a
maximum rpm of 500. Use the up and down buttons to set the desired
shaking speed.
The start button will initiate the shaking action; however, do not use
until all containers have been secured in place on the platform and have been
stoppered, if necessary. It is recommended that shaking action be started at
less than the required speed, in order to check that all containers are secure, not
contacting each other. and that no spilling of contents can occur.
If, for any reason, the unit exceeds the set speed by 125%, an overspeed
legend appears in this module and shuts the shaker down.
The speed setpoint may be altered at any time during the operation.
TIMER:
The timer module allows 3 selections: (1) timing of the shaking action
up to 99.9 minutes, (2) timing of the shaking action up to 99.9 hours, or (3)
shaking operation can be selected as CONTINUOUS. Use the up and down
keys to select the set time.
Selections made will illuminate as a legend in this module.
An LED readout will show the time remaining and stop the shaker when
the set time has timed out. (Timer mode only)
The timing interval can be changed at any time during the shaking action.
For example, if the original selection is 1.5 minutes and 0.5 minutes have
elapsed when a new timing interval of 4.0 minutes is entered, the timer will
subtract the 0.5 minutes already elapsed and show 3.5 as remaining.
