make certain that the

objects. The arrange-

table was designed
so that the device
requires a little setup place as possible.
In spite of this, you have the option of mounting the agitation table
rotated by 90 degrees.
First remove the power cord. Remove the round band on the four
clamping bolts on the agitation table. Then completely loosen the
four fastening screws with the aid of the socket wrench included with
delivery and remove the fastening screws. Rotate the agitation table
by 90 degrees. Do not remove the spacing ring (No. 54) on the inside;
otherwise the bearing will be exposed. Assemble the clamping bolts and
screws in the reverse order. Make certain the screws are seated properly
in their threadings.

Unpacking

Please unpack the equipment carefully and check for any damages. It is
important that any damages which may have arisen during transport are
ascertained when unpacking. If applicable a fact report must be sendt
immediately (post, rail or forwarder).

General information

With the purchase of this device, you have acquired a high-quality pro-
duct. The design of the unit and its special shape ensure ease of handing
and problem-free work.
The speed-controlled external rotor asynchronous motor allows for
infinite adjustment of the speed in the range from 0 to 1100 rpms. The
electronic motor control system keeps the speed constant. The heat
generated by the motor may cause the holding surface of the micro-titer
plates to heat up.
The movement of the agitation table with the weight placed on it to be
agitated produces a reaction force on the drive. This force is compara-
ble with an imbalance. There is therefore an imbalance weight on the
motor that compensates for part of the imbalance forces. Because of the
differing weight of every material to be agitated, a residual imbalance
remains. This imbalance tends to move the device back and forth and to
move it on the holding surface. To prevent the entire system from reso-
nating, always fit the device evenly with at least two micro-titer plates.
Never operate the device at a "critical speed". Either reduce the speed
and agitate at a lesser intensity or pass through the critical point as
quickly as possible if you would like to work at a higher speed or greater
agitation intensity.
