2.1 General Description
The Innova 3100 is a shaker that incorporates a triple eccentric counterbalanced drive
to provide horizontal plane rotary motion in a ½ inch (12.7 mm) circular orbit. A
Proportional/Integral (PI) microprocessor controller with instantaneous digital
feedback controls the speed over a range of 25-400 RPM. It also provides temperature
control over a range of 5°C above ambient to 80°C. For lower temperatures an
optional water bath cooling coil is available.
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 3100 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
• Low water level
• Water overflow
A wide variety of platforms can be used with the Innova 3100. Dedicated platforms
are available for a variety of flask sizes. A Universal platform and test tube racks are
also available. (See Chapter 7 for accessories.)
The Innova 3100 has a built-in water level control system which is infinitely adjustable
over a wide range. To compensate for evaporation, water is automatically replenished
to the preset level.
Additionally, the Innova 3100 has analog outputs for a chart recorder that will record
speed and/or temperature. See Chapter 5 for recorder adaptation.

2.7 Triple Eccentric Drive
The Triple Eccentric Drive (see Figure 4 below) 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

2.8 Bearings
Innova shakers employ shielded lubricated ball bearings of the highest quality.
Shielded bearings minimize the generation of airborne particulates which may be
disadvantageous in clean rooms or controlled environment areas. These bearings
require no maintenance.
2.9 Motor
The Innova 3100 Shaker uses a 3-phase brushless ball bearing DC motor. This low
profile motor provides high torque along with quiet, efficient operation and low
maintenance. This motor has a rating of 1/15 horsepower.

The main control board for the Innova shaker has the following functions:
• Non-volatile memory for storage of key parameters during power interruption;
• Speed sensing, electronic commutation, and power control for the brushless DC
drive motor;
• Maintains an elapsed running time clock;
• Contains firmware for shaker control as well as recognition of an expansion
connector for option modules;
• Provides an operator interface via displays, audible alarm, and connection to the
keypad module (keypad buttons and display graphics).
The Temperature Control module for the Innova shaker has the following functions:
• Control of analog power supplies;
• Rectification and regulation for analog power supplies;
• Provides signal conditioning circuitry and A/D conversion for the RTD-based
temperature measurement;
• Provides remote monitoring capabilities by supplying analog output for speed and
temperature which are compatible with chart recorders and analog data acquisition
system;

3.3.2 Hose Connections
A ½ inch diameter reinforced hose is provided for water addition and drainage.
Cut the hose into two lengths, to suit the distances from the water source to the
machine.
Install the hosing as follows, using Figure 6 on following page for reference:
1. Connect one length of ½ inch hose to the WATER IN FITTING.
2. Connect the other length of ½ inch hose to the DRAIN FITTING.
3. Clamp the hoses with the clamps provided.
4. Connect the “WATER IN” hose to a water supply with a maximum water
pressure of 100 psi. The drain hose must go to an OPEN drain.
5. Attach the smaller diameter (3/8 inch) hose to the overflow tube, and run it
to an OPEN drain.
13
Figure 6: Hose Connections
The overflow tube is the farthest left of the three tubes that project down from
the back of the bath. The other two tubes are used only when the cooling coil
option is installed.
NOTE:
To minimize the development of rust inside the waterbath:
• If you are using tap water in the bath, make sure the water has a low
iron content.
• If you are using distilled water, mix it with a small amount of tap
water and/or add dis solved salts. Any ultra-pure (distilled, de-ionized
or reverse osmosis) water tends to leach the iron from the stainless
steel, encouraging oxidation.
If the cooling coil option is factory-installed in your unit, an additional 16foot reinforced rubber hose is provided, with corresponding clamps, for
connection to the coolant or water supply. To install the hose:
1. Cut the hose into two pieces to suit a water supply and drain length

when the shaker is accelerating or the temperature is changing to satisfy
the setpoint immediately following turning on the power.
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
Innova 3100 M1231-0050 Operating manual
20
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

NOTE:
The °C light will pulse r apidly for a short duration to indicate it is not
operating in the factory default mode. It will pul se 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

To display the accumulated running time:
1. Select HRS using the SELECT key.
2. Simultaneously press the ∆ and ∇ keys.
21
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.
4.9 MAINT Indicator Light
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.
4.10 Water Level Control
The unit is equipped with an automatic water level control that is infinitely variable
from approximately ½ inch to 2½ inches above the platform level. For proper
operation of the water level control system, the drain valve on the rear panel (see
Figure 2 or 6) must be closed and the external water supply must be on. Naturally, the
power must also be on.
Figure 8: Water Level Control
The level control maintains a water level slightly above the platform. To adjust the
water level:
1. Make sure the power is ON.
2. Remove the rear baffle (see Figure 8 above) by lifting it straight up and away.
The level control is exposed.
Innova 3100 M1231-0050 Operating manual
22
3. Note the position of the water level and decide whether the desired level is higher
or lower.
4. To raise the water level, note the position of the flexible tube graduations (these
gradations and markings are for reference only).
5. Lift the tube up and push the excess tubing through the rear wall of the tank. As
you raise the control, the solenoid will open and water will fill the bath until the
new water level is established.
6. To lower the water level, feed the flexible tube back into the vertical stainless steel
tube. The drain valve should then be opened. Close the drain valve when you hear
the solenoid valve operating.
7. When the water level set is satisfactory, replace the rear baffle.
4.11 Low Water Level Alarm
To prevent heating when there is no water in the bath, the unit is provided with a
safety circuit to ensure that the heater will not activate if no water is present. The *
(Low Water Level) indicator will flash and the audible alarm will sound.
The * indicator will also light if the water level is below the minimum setting.
When the water level alarms are activated, check to be sure that:
• the “Water In” hose is properly in place
• the supply valve is open
• the drain is closed.
When the condition is corrected, the alarms deactivate in approximately 10 seconds.
4.12 Draining the Bath
To drain the water bath, turn off the external water supply and open the unit’s drain
valve (on the rear panel--see Figure 2 or 6), after verifying that the drain hose is
properly connected to the unit and empties into an open drain.

5.1 Maintenance
The Innova Shaker requires no routine mechanical maintenance on the part of the user.
The MAINT indicator light goes 10,000 operating hours after the unit was last
serviced. At that time, contact your local New Brunswick Service Engineer or call the
New Brunswick Service Department at 1-800-631-5417 (within the United States).
This periodic maintenance will keep your unit in premium condition.
5.2 Cleaning
As most water contains minerals that will deposit on the inside surfaces of the water
bath, the unit should be drained and flushed on a weekly basis. Mild household or
laboratory detergents can be used in the tank. To remove any caked buildups on the
stainless steel surfaces, a plastic scouring pad (such as Scotchbrite) may be used. This
can be used also to remove scratches from the stainless steel.
The outside painted surface can normally be cleaned with a damp cloth; if necessary,
standard household or laboratory cleaners may be used. Do not use other abrasive or
corrosive compounds to clean this instrument, as they may damage the unit and
void the warranty.
NOTE:
To minimize the development of rust inside the waterbath, do not use
steel wool or other abrasive pads to clean the stainless steel bath.
