OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Extreme Shaker has been designed for the speed and time functions to work
independently of one another. The speed can be re-set without re-setting the timer
and the timer can be stopped and started without interrupting the shaking function.
1. Getting ready:
a. Place the controller in the desired location. If securing to an incubator door,
attach enclosed magnet standoff controller feet, ensuring a strong magnetic
attraction over entire magnet surface. Magnetically mount controller to
incubator door or other ferrous surface. See photos on page 4 for more details.
b. Connect the cable from the shaker base to the controller.
c. Plug the cord into a properly grounded outlet. The standby indicator light will
illuminate, verifying power to the shaker.
d. Press the standby button to move the unit from standby mode. The standby
indicator light will turn off and the speed and time displays will illuminate,
displaying the previously used settings.
2. Setting speed:
a. Press the up/down arrow below the speed display until you reach the desired
speed. When you release the button, the display will blink off and then on
indicating the new set speed has been accepted.
b. Press the on/off button to start the shaking function. The indicator light below
the speed display will illuminate and blink until the set-point is reached. Once
the set-point is reached the light will stop blinking and remain lit until shaking
has ceased. The microprocessor controlled ramping feature slowly increases
speed until the set-point is reached which helps to avoid splashing, and
provides excellent low end control.
c. Speed adjustments can be made without interrupting shaking by using the
up/down arrows below the speed display. After the change has been made and
you release the button, the display will blink off and then on indicating the new
set speed has been accepted.
d. To stop the shaking function press the on/off button below the speed display.
The speed indicator light will turn off.
3. Setting time to zero (0:00) and continuous mode: Accumulated time.
a. Press and hold the on/off button below the time display. After three (3) seconds,
the display will indicate the previous set time.
b. Simultaneously press both the up and the down arrows, the display will indicate
zero (0:00). The unit time is now set to zero (0:00) minutes. Alternately, you can
use the up/down arrows to get to zero (0:00).
c. Press the on/off button below the time display. The display will indicate
accumulated time. The up/down arrows will become inactive. To stop timer,
press the on/off button again. IMPORTANT: This will NOT interrupt the shaking
function. Press the on/off button below the speed display to interrupt the shaking
function.
d. To reset, press and hold the on/off button below the time display. After three (3)
seconds the display will indicate the previous set time, which was zero (0:00).
4. Setting timed mode: Programmed time.
a. Press the up/down arrows below the time display until you reach the desired
time.
b. Start this function by pressing the on/off button below the time display. The unit
will run for the selected time, the up/down arrows will become inactive while
the timer is running. The unit will stop shaking when time display reaches zero
(0:00). Four (4) audible beeps will indicate the count down function is complete.
The time display will default back to the set time. To repeat for the same time,
simply depress the on/off button again.
c. To interrupt an automatic timing cycle before it is completed, press the on/off
button below the time display. The display will flash off and on to indicate the
time function is on "hold". IMPORTANT: This will NOT interrupt the shaking
function. Press the on/off button below the speed display to interrupt the
shaking function. Restart the timer by pressing the on/off button below the
time display. Unit will continue counting down to zero (0:00). When the display
reaches zero (0:00), you will hear the four (4) audible beeps that indicate the
count down function is complete and the shaking function will cease.
