To initially start the shaker:
1. Turn the ON/OFF SWITCH to the ON position.
During start-up, the LED DISPLAY will indicate the model of your shaker.
2. Press the START/STOP KEY on the KEYPAD to start or stop operation of the platform.
When the shaker begins to operate, the LED DISPLAY will track the speed as it accelerates to the last
setpoint entered.
6.2 Continuous (untimed) run

2. If the display indicates that the shaker is OFF, press the START/STOP KEY.
3. Press either the ▲(UP) or ▼(DOWN) KEY to enter SET MODE.
The SET INDICATOR will illuminate.
4. Set the speed by using the ▲(UP) or ▼(DOWN) KEY until the desired setpoint is displayed. Continued
pressure the ▲(UP) or ▼(DOWN) KEY will cause the setting to change more rapidly.
6.3 Check setpoint
1. Press SELECT until the desired indicator is illuminated.
2. Briefly press either the ▲(UP) or ▼(DOWN) KEY to enter the SET MODE and display the current
setpoint.
6.4 Timed functions
The shaker may be programmed to automatically stop after a preset time period of 0.1 to 99.9 hours. There
must be power to the shaker in order to set the timer, although a timed run can be initiated while the shaker
is either stopped or operating.
To set the timer:
1. Press the SELECT KEY until the HRS INDICATOR is illuminated.
2. Press either the ▲(UP) or ▼(DOWN) KEY to enter the SET MODE and set the desired run time, between
0.1 and 99.9 hours.
The setpoint may be changed during a run without stopping the shaker by following Steps 2 –
4 above. During speed changes, a visual alarm (flashing RPM INDICATOR) will flash and an
audible alarm will sound until the speed returns to within 5
rpm of the setpoint.
Holding the ▲(UP) or ▼(DOWN) KEY for more than 0.5 seconds causes the speed setpoint to
change. Should this occur, resetting will be necessary.
