Chapter 7 for accessories).

2.5 Quick-Change Platform Kit

This easy-load accessory enables the user to snap in platforms without tools or hardware. Recommended for speeds up to 400 RPM.

Triple Eccentric Drive

The Triple Eccentric Drive (see Figure 5) used in the Innova Shakers employs the same proven technology which has driven New Brunswick Scientific’s shakers for over 30 years.

This drive mechanism utilizes a counterweight system to stabilize the rotary motion produced during operation. When the workload moves in one direction, opposing forces are generated to stabilize the shaker. This action will help eliminate the problem of “walking” which may occur with less precisely balanced instruments.

Vibration is minimized and the life of the unit is extended.

4.7 Temperature Offset Calibration

The temperature probe and the temperature controller are calibrated together at the factory. The temperature probe measures the temperature of the air at the probe’s location, near the heat exchanger return vent. The controller uses the probe input to adjust air temperature, up or down, to match the temperature setpoint.

Depending on various conditions within the chamber, such as flask placement and size, the heat produced by growing organisms, heat losses due to liquid evaporation from flasks, etc., the display temperature may differ from temperatures within the flasks themselves.

If you wish to have the temperature display (“Indicated Temperature”) match the temperature at a given point, or match the average of a series of points within the chamber (“Actual Temperature”), proceed as follows:

1. Let the unit equilibrate at or near the desired temperature. Record the Indicated

Temperature.

2. Record the Actual Temperature.

3. Calculate the temperature correction value: Actual Temperature – Indicated

Temperature = Temperature Correction Value.

4. Press the SELECT key until the °C function indicator illuminates.

5. Simultaneously press the

∆ and ∇ keys. The SET and MAINT indicators will light.

6. While the SET and MAINT indicators are illuminated, use the

∆ or ∇ key to set the display to the calculated Temperature Correction Value.

NOTE:

The °C light will pulse rapidly for a short duration to indicate it is not operating in the factory default mode. It will pulse for a longer duration and less rapidly (with a frequency of approximately one second) to indicate temperature is more than one degree above or below setpoint.

To return to the factory calibration:

1. Press the SELECT key until the °C function indicator illuminates.

2. Simultaneously press the

∆ and ∇ keys. The SET and MAINT indicators will light.

New Brunswick Scientific User’s Guide

22

3. While the SET and MAINT indicators are illuminated, press the START/STOP key.

Total Running Time 4.8

The control module of the Innova 4300 totals the time the shaker has been “ON” to track hours of usage.

To display the accumulated running time:

1. Select HRS using the SELECT key.

2. Simultaneously press the

∆ and ∇ keys.

The SET and MAINT indicators will flash and the accumulated running time will be displayed in hundreds of hours (i.e., “02” equals 200 hours; “102” equals 10,200 hours). This display will continue for 10 seconds and then default to the previous mode readout.

MAINT Indicator Light 4.9

After 10,000 hours of operation, the MAINT indicator will light. Preventive maintenance is recommended at this point. The light can be deactivated by NBS

Service Personnel. Alteration of the internal clock by unauthorized personnel will void the warranty.

4.10 Vent

The Innova 4300 is provided with a vent to exhaust gas or allow small amounts of ambient air into the chamber. The vent is located in the left side of the cabinet (see

Figure 3).

When the knob is tight (in a clockwise position), the vent holes are sealed. Rotate the knob counter-clockwise to open the vent.

2. Check the fuse. If it has failed, replace it with a like fuse as identified in the Spare

Parts List (see Section 5.13). Spare fuses are supplied with the unit.

Innova 4300 is set to the appropriate line voltage prior to shipment. The voltage selector switch (see Figure 3), however, is a universal power-entry device which can be reset to adapt to worldwide power requirements.

If it becomes necessary to set to a different voltage:

1. Set the ON/OFF switch (see Figure 1) to OFF.

2. Disconnect the unit from the power source.

3. Using a small, flat-bladed screwdriver, rotate the center portion of the switch until the fuse is disengaged. Remove the fuse.

4. Using a larger flat-bladed screwdriver or a small coin, rotate the center portion of the switch to the desired voltage. The indicator is at the top of the switch.

5. Replace the fuse and holder.

6. Check that the proper power cord is available for the voltage selected.

Acknowledging the MAINT Indicator

After the shaker has been operating for 10,000 hours accumulated running time

(initially, or since the previous maintenance check), the MAINT indicator light on the control panel will light. Only an NBS Service Engineer can turn it off.

The MAINT light indicates that it is time for a routine maintenance check. A regular schedule of routine maintenance is an excellent way to keep your valuable equipment performing optimally for years of reliable service.

To record speed and temperature, a recorder (not supplied) can be used. It should have the following capabilities:

• To record both speed and temperature, two channels are required. Each channel should have signal conditioning which accepts 0-5 volt input. The pin-out diagram and scale below identify the application.

• A mating connector is required on the recorder cable (not supplied). This is a 9pin male D subminiature connector, AMP Amplimite HDP-20 series or equivalent.
