Useful facts

With the purchase of this device, you have acquired a high-qua-
lity product. The design of the unit and its special shape ensure
ease of handing and problem-free work. the materials used and
an exact designation of them will significantly facilitate and sim-
plify recycling and reuse of parts.
The speed-controlled external rotor asynchronous motor allows
for infinitie speed adjustment in the range from 0 to 500 rpm (KS)
and 0 to 300 rpm (HS). Electronic motor control holds the set
speed constant even if the weight of the material on the surface
increases. The heat given off by the motor can be used to heat
up the holding surface for the agitation containers.
The Control variant of the device is equipped with a locking devi-
ce. This makes it possible to fasten the agitation table in a defi-
ned position. By removing the rubber feet, the device can be
connected or screwed in place in a defined position or with a
system located next to it. Make certain that the maximum depth
of 5 mm for inserting the screws is not exceeded.
The Control variant of the device can be delivered with a reverse
operating mode (clockwise / counterclockwise motion) for the
vibration table on request. However, the reverse operation mode
can only be used by means of the serial interface in combination
with a PC (for example with labworldsoft). If the device is not
operated on a serial interface, it behaves like a Control device
without reverse operation mode.
It is easy to exchange the various attachments.
The Control device variant is equipped with a serial interface that
makes it possible to control the device through the PC (for exam-
ple with Labworldsoft.

Commissioning

Check whether the voltage specified on the type plate matches
the mains voltage available. The power socket used must be ear-
thed (protective earth conductor contact). If these conditions are
met, the device is ready to operate after plugging in the mains
plug. If these procedures are not followed, safe operation cannot
be guaranteed and/or the equipment may be damaged.
Observe the ambient conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.)
listed under Technical Data.
When you turn on the basic device variant, the turn button for the
time setting must be in the middle setting (not activated).
If the mounting surface is not even, you can improve the safety
level of the device in reference to how it stands with the adju-

ward with the wrench (included with delivery) until the device is
standing securely on the surface.

time in the display windows as a self-test that follows. The red
light diode in the TIME LED line and the OFF mode of the devi-
ce light (audio signal).
All elements of the display will flash using the control unit and
the self test operation will be shown on the display. All important
safety functions will be tested. The appliance is operable after
this check.
To prevent the foot of
the device from
coming loose by itself,
hold down the foot
with one hand and
tighten the oppsite
