• Available in 1.9 cm (3/4 in) or 2.5 cm (1 in) diameter circular orbit.
Refrigeration (Innova 40R only)
The refrigeration system in the Innova 40R is a variable-capacity system designed with self-checks to
maintain the setpoint, to balance pressure within the system, and to keep the evaporator from freezing.
When the shaker is powered up, there is a 4 min time delay prior to compressor start-up.

Temperature control
Ambient temperature is measured at 1 M from the exterior of the unit.
• Innova 40R provides temperature control from 15 °C below ambient temperature to 80 °C with a
minimum setpoint of 4 °C.
• Innova 40 provides temperature control from 5 °C above ambient temperature to 80 °C.
Both these ranges depend on relative humidity and other ambient factors, as well as the options installed
on the device.
Safety
• Drive Interrupt shuts off power to shaker when lid opens.
• Acceleration/deceleration circuit prevents sudden starts and stops, minimizing both splashing and
mechanical damage.
• Independent mechanical sensing switch also shuts the motor off in unbalanced condition.
11
Alarms
Innova 40/40R Shaker is equipped with visual and audible alarms that alert the user to the following
conditions:
• The end of a timed run.
• Deviations from speed setpoint.
• Deviations from temperature setpoint.
• Power failure.
• Lid is open.
Platforms
To accommodate customer needs, a wide variety of platforms can be used with the Innova 40/40R Shaker
(see Platforms on p. 53):
• Universal platforms are the most flexible, providing hole patterns for flask clamps, test tube racks and
other accessories.
• Dedicated platforms are supplied with 1 size flask clamps attached.
Flasks/Tubes
Erlenmeyer flasks (up to 3 L), and a wide variety of tubes and plates can be accommodated using the New
Brunswick shaker accessories (see Accessories on p. 53).
Other accessories
Test tube racks, microplate holders, and test tube rack holders as well as sticky pads and stick tape are also
available (a universal platform is needed for all test tube racks and holders) (see Accessories on p. 53).

2.4 Software interfaces
The RS-232 port is located below the Mains/Power switch on the right side of the control panel. It can be
used to connect a computer to the shaker for control of operating conditions or data logging
applications (see Remote programming on p. 37).
The customer is responsible for securing the proper driver to interface with the RS-232.
2.5 Drip pan resevoir
The Innova 40/40R Shaker is equipped with a plastic liner to protect the electronics and temperature
controls. An optional drip pan (part number M1250-9906) is recommended to protect the drive mechanism
in case of accidental spills and/or broken glassware.
2.6 Heater
Whenever the heater is on, the heater on icon will appear in the display . The heater automatically stops
running when the lid is opened.
The heater has the following features:
• 1000 ohm platinum RTD.
• Pulse width modulation on a 2.5 s duty cycle (this cycle time is fast enough to prevent noticeable
changes in air temperature).
• Long-life, low-watt density resistance-type heater with high temperature thermostat.
2.7 Alarms
If an alarm condition exists, the field in the lower right corner will alternate the day and time with
characters indicating the nature of the alarm condition, accompanied by an audible alarm (unless
muted) (see To mute the audible alarm on p. 29).
