2.1 General Description

The Innova 4000 Shaker incorporates a triple eccentric counter balanced drive to
provide horizontal plane rotary motion in a 3/4” (19 mm) circular orbit. A Proportional/
Integral (PI) Microprocessor controller with instantaneous digital feedback controls the
speed over a range of 25-500 RPM. It also provides temperature control over a range of
5°C above ambient to 60°C.; the Innova 4080 high temperature model provides
temperature control over a range of 5°C above ambient to 80°C. For lower
temperatures an optional cooling coil is available. The internal chamber is 19¾ inches
(50.2 cm) wide, 13¼ inches (33.6 cm) above the platform, and 19 inches (48.3 cm)
deep.

The shaker may be operated either continuously, or in a timed mode via a
programmable timer for shaking periods of 0.1 hour to 99.9 hours.

The Innova 4000 is equipped with audible and visible alarms which are activated when
an alarm condition exists, as follows:

• The end of a timed run

• Deviations of shaking speed or temperature outside of tolerance limits

A wide variety of platforms can be used with the Innova 4000. Dedicated platforms are
available for a variety of flask sizes. A Universal platform and test tube racks are also
available (see Section 6.4 for Accessories).

2.6 Heavy-Duty Construction Features

2.6.1 Triple Eccentric Drive

The Triple Eccentric Drive (see Figure 4 below) is used in the Innova Shakers
employs the same proven technology which has driven New Brunswick
Scientific’s shakers for over 30 years. This drive mechanism utilizes a
counterweight system to stabilize the rotary motion produced during operation.
When the workload moves in one direction, opposing forces are generated to
stabilize the shaker. This action will help eliminate the problem of walking
which may occur with less precisely balanced instruments. Vibration is
minimized and the life of the unit is extended.

Figure 4 Counterbalanced Drive Mechanism

New Brunswick Scientific User’s Guide

4.7 Temperature Offset Calibration

The temperature probe and the temperature controller are calibrated together at the
factory. The temperature probe measures the temperature of the air at the probe’s
location, near the heat exchanger return vent. The controller uses the probe input to
adjust air temperature, up or down, to match the temperature setpoint.

Depending on various conditions within the chamber, such as flask placement and
size, the heat produced by growing organisms, heat losses due to liquid evaporation
from flasks, etc., the display temperature may differ from temperatures within the
flasks themselves.

If you wish to have the temperature display (“Indicated Temperature”) match the
temperature at a given point, or match the average of a series of points within the
chamber (“Actual Temperature”), proceed as follows:

1. Let the unit equilibrate at or near the desired temperature. Record the Indicated
Temperature.

2. Record the Actual Temperature.

3. Calculate the temperature correction value: Actual Temperature – Indicated
Temperature = Temperature Correction Value.

4. Press the SELECT key until the °C function indicator illuminates.

5. Simultaneously press the ∆ and ∇ keys. The SET and MAINT indicators will
light.

6. While the SET and MAINT indicators are illuminated, use the ∆ or ∇ key to set
the display to the calculated Temperature Correction Value.

#NOTE:

The °C light will pulse rapidly for a short duration to indicate it is not
operating in the factory default mode. It will pulse for a longer duration
and less rapidly (with a frequency of approximately one second) to
indicate temperature is more than one degree above or below setpoint.

To return to the factory calibration:

1. Press the SELECT key until the °C function indicator illuminates.

2. Simultaneously press the ∆ and ∇ keys. The SET and MAINT indicators will
light.

3. While the SET and MAINT indicators are illuminated, press the START/STOP
key.

4.8 Total Running Time

The control module of the Innova 4000 totalizes the time the shaker has been “ON” to
track hours of usage. To display the accumulated running time:

1. Select HRS using the Select key.

2. Simultaneously press the ∆ and ∇ keys.

The SET and MAINT indicators will flash and the accumulated running time will be
displayed in hundreds of hours (i.e., “02” equals 200 hours; “102” equals 10,200 hours).
This display will continue for 10 seconds and then default to the previous mode readout.

After 10,000 hours of operation, the MAINT indicator will light. Preventive
maintenance is recommended at this point. The light can be deactivated by NBS service
personnel. Alteration of the internal clock by unauthorized personnel will void the
warranty.

4.9 Vent

The Innova 4000 is provided with a vent (see Figure 2) to exhaust gas or allow small
amounts of ambient air into the chamber. The vent is located in the rear upper left
side of the cabinet. When the knob is tight in a clockwise position then the vent holes
are sealed. Rotating the knob counter-clockwise opens the vent.
