6.1 Controlling a single magnetic shaker
♦
Turn the frequency selection knob (11) of the control unit (12) to the
position OFF (see Figure 3 and Figure 5).
♦
Plug the control line (7) of the magnetic shaker (4) into the control
line connector (8) of the control unit (12).
♦
Plug the mains cable of the control unit (12) into a mains socket.
♦
Insert the computer plug of the RS232 interface cable (15) into the
COM socket of the PC.
♦
Insert the control unit plug of the RS232 interface cable into the red
jack socket (10) of the control unit (see Figure 5).
♦
Mount the microtiter plate on the magnetic shaker (see Chapter 5).
6.2 Controlling several magnetic shakers
Depending on the transfer of data, you may interconnect up to 14 magnetic
shakers and connect them to a single RS232 interface. The magnetic
shakers can thus be controlled individually and directly.
Connecting the first control unit (12):
♦
Turn the frequency selection knob (11) to the position OFF (see
Figure 5).
♦
Plug the control line (7) of the magnetic shaker (4) into the control
line connector (8) of the control unit (12).
INFORMATION
When operating multiple control units, the socket
strip should be arranged so that the plug cables run
at right angles to the strip.
♦
Plug the mains cable of the first control unit (12) into the first socket
of the socket strip (see Figure 11).
♦
Insert the computer plug of the RS232 interface cable (15) into the
COM socket of the PC.
♦
Insert the control unit plug of the RS232 interface cable (15) into the
red jack socket (10) of the first control unit (12) (see Figure 5 and
Figure 11).
