Unpacking; General Information - IKA MTS 2/4 digital Mode D'emploi

It is designed for use in laboratories. The motion of the agitation
table is a horizontal circular-shaped motion at every point, thanks
to a newly designed vibration element. The circular movement is
produced by an excenter with a 3-mm stroke (peak-to-peak).
To ensure usage in conformity with intended purpose, the device
must rest upon a stable, even and slip-free holding surface.
Otherwise it must be ensured that objects in the vicinity of the
device are kept at an appropriate distance and that they cannot
move around during the agitation process. Please make certain
that the device is by itself and not touching any other objects. The
arrangement of the agitation table was designed so that the devi-
ce requires a little setup place as possible.
In spite of this, you
have the option of
mounting the agitati-
on table rotated by
90 degrees.
First remove
power cord. Remove
the round band on
the four clamping
bolts on the agitation
table. Then comple-
tely 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 dama-
ges. It is important that any damages which may have arisen
during transport are ascertained when unpacking. If applicable a
fact report must be set immediately (post, rail or forwarder).
The delivery scope covers:
An IKA MTS 2/4 digital, an Torx-offset screwdriver, an connecting
cable, 1 O-ring and operating instructions.

General information

With the purchase of this device, you have acquired a high-quality
product. 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 con-

stant. The heat generated by the motor may cause the holding sur-
face 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
comparable 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 agi-
tated, 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 resonating, always fit the devi-
ce evenly with at least two micro-titer plates.
