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.

There is a temperature offset function on the Innova 40/40R Shaker that allow you to match a reference
point temperature inside the chamber with the actual value displayed. The actual value displayed may not
equal the temperature at different points of the shaker chamber due to many variables.
If you wish to have the actual value displayed on the shaker match a diffferent point of the chamber, you
must:
1. Calculate the temperature offset desired.
2. Create the temperature offset in the CAL screen.
5.10.2 Calculating the temperature offset
In the CAL screen:
1. Allow the shaker enough time to equilibrate to setpoint temperature.
2. Record the displayed setpoint temperature (temp1).
3. Record the temperature inside the chamber (temp2). You may record the temperature inside a flask or
at any point inside the temperature.
4. Use the formula: temp2 - temp1 = °C offset

Remote programming
New Brunswick Innova 40/40R Shaker
English (EN)
6 Remote programming
You can use a communications program (such as HyperTerminal) to send commands to the shaker from
your PC.
• HyperTerminal is not included with Windows Vista or Windows 7.
6.1 Connecting to a computer
Before setting up communication software, check the Mode and Baud Rate parameter settings found on the
RS232 screen of the shaker (see RS-232 screen on p. 29).
Set the shaker’s Mode parameter to Slave.
Set the appropriate Baud Rate.
37
6.1.1 Setting up serial connection with HyperTerminal
1. Connect the RS-232 cable between the computer and the shaker’s RS-232 port.
2. Start HyperTerminal and follow the steps for setting a new connection.
3. Select the COM port you will be using, then set the COM parameters to the following values:
Baud rate Enter the setting on your shaker
Data bits 8
Parity None
Stop bits 1
Flow control None
6.1.2 Testing the connection
1. Turn the shaker off.
2. Start HyperTerminal.
3. Turn the shaker on.
If a connection is made, the shaker will send and OK to the communication software.
6.2 Sending commands
With the command program, the user send commands to the Innova 40/40R Shaker by computer.
• The serial interface uses an echo character protocol that is implemented to indicate that a valid
character has been received by the shaker.
• For every character sent by the user computer, the Innova 40/40R Shaker will return a matching
38
Remote programming
New Brunswick Innova 40/40R Shaker
English (EN)
character.
• This echo character should be read by the computer and compared to the character that was sent.
• When sending a command in HyperTerminal, do not allow the pause between any two
characters of you message to last longer than 10 s.
• After 10 s the shaker's serial port will reset itself.
This is the command set format:
<Command><Space><Arg1><Space><Argn><CR>
• Most Commands are defined as 2 capital characters using the ASCII character set (see Index to
command codes on p. 44).
• If a command has several arguments (Argn), the ASCII space control character separates each
argument.
• The command is sent using the ASCII carriage return (CR) control character.
• The line feed control character may also be included but must follow the carriage return character.
When a command is sent that returns data, the characters returned are in ASCII format. Each additional
argument returned will be separated by the ASCII space or tab control character. Refer to the selected
command for the actual format. Data returned is terminated with a carriage return line feed control
character sequence.
6.2.1 Example: Commanding set speed
In the following example, the computer will set the shaker speed to 250 rpm:
In HyperTerminal, type CS<Space>250<CR>.
The shaker echos CS<Space>250<CR>
The shaker is set to 250 rpm
Do not actually type the angled brackets. <Space> means press the space bar <CR> means
press the carriage return.
6.2.2 Example: Requesting measured values
Type RV<CR>.
The shaker echos RV<CR>
The shaker will report:
• Arg1 (Speed rpm)
• Arg2 (Temperature °C)
• Arg3 (Humidity %)
• Arg4 (CO
• Arg5 (Grow lamp 0 = Off, 1 = On)
• Arg6 (UV lamp 0 = Off, 1 = On)
These values will be separated by <Tab>.
This will look like:

8 Maintenance
8.1 Routine maintenance
No routine maintenance schedule is required for the Innova 40/40R Shaker
WARNING! Personnel injury and equipment damage!
When cleaning the unit, always turn off the shaker and disconnect the power cord from the
power supply.
We recommend you occasionlly wipe down the shaker with a non-abrasive household cleaner.
We also suggest that the area around the shaker be vacuumed or swept to remove dust and other debris,
ensuring proper air flow in and around the shaker.
47
8.2 Cleaning external and internal surfaces
WARNING! Personnel injury and equipment damage!
When cleaning the unit, always turn off the shaker and disconnect the power cord from the
power supply.
The unit may be cleaned using a damp cloth or any standard household or laboratory cleaner to wipe down
its outer surfaces. Do not use abrasive or corrosive compounds to clean this instrument, as they may
damage the unit.
8.3 Biohazard decontamination
It is the responsibility of the user to carry out appropriate decontamination procedures if hazardous
material is spilled on or inside the equipment. Before using any cleaning or decontamination method other
than those suggested by the manufacturer, users should check with Eppendorf that the proposed method
would not damage the equipment.
Commercially available household bleach solutions, when diluted at a 1:10 ratio, are effective in routine
decontamination of the instrument. The method for decontaminating a spill depends upon the nature of the
spill.
Spills involving fresh cultures or samples known to have low concentrations of biomass should be flooded
with decontamination solution and soaked for 5 minutes before cleanup. Spills involving samples with high
concentrations of biomass, or involving organic matter, or occurring in areas warmer than room ambient
temperature, should be exposed to decontamination solution for at least one hour before cleanup.
48
Maintenance
