7.5. Additional Operations
Viewing the set value for RPM during shaking
Set the unit to RPM mode
Turn the encoder ONE CLICK right (+) or left (-). On the display the RPM light will blink for 2 sec. and will display the set RPM. After
2 sec. the display will show the actual RPM and the light will stop blinking.
Viewing the set value for Time during shaking
Set the unit to Time Mode
Turn the encoder ONE CLICK right (+) or left (-). The Time light will blink for 2 sec. and will display the set Time. After 2 sec. the
display will show the actual Time and the light will stop blinking.
Viewing the set value for Temperature during shaking
Set the unit to Temperature Mode
Turn the encoder ONE CLICK right (+) or left (-). The Temperature light will blink for 2 sec. and will display the set Temperature. After
2 sec. the display will show the actual Temperature and the light will stop blinking.

the equipment with hazardous biological or radioactive materials.
A written description of the error should accompany the unit.
Use the original shipping container and packaging materials if possible.
9.0 Temperature Calibration
NOTE:
Temperature calibration should only be performed by qualified personnel.
The temperature control software allows for user calibration of the temperature settings. First, measure the temperature in the
middle of the chamber after allowing the temperature to equilibrate for 2 hours. The temperature should be measured with a digital
