The Innova 5000 Digital Tier Shaker will provide you with the reliable, maintenance-free
operation that is characteristic of all New Brunswick shakers. The Innova 5000 is among the
newest generation of New Brunswick shakers; it incorporates a variety of state-of-the-art
components and features to permit the precision operation necessary for your exacting
scientific experiments.
This manual is intended to provide the user with a complete understanding of how the Innova
5000 operates, its basic components, and basic preventive maintenance and service. This
Manual also includes a complete guide to the installation and operation of the Innova 5000.
Be sure to familiarize yourself with this manual prior to operating your Innova 5000.

The Innova 5000 is a multiple tier shaker (see Figure 1 on the following page) that
utilizes an eccentric counterbalanced drive to provide horizontal plane rotary motion
in a 2-inch (51mm) circular orbit. A Proportional/Integral (PI) Microprocessor
controller with instantaneous digital feedback controls the speed over a range of 25350 RPM.
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 5000 is equipped with audible and visible alarms that are activated when
an alarm condition exists, as follows:
• The end of a timed run
• Deviation of shaking speed outside the tolerance limits
• Deviation of temperature outside the tolerance limits
A wide variety of platforms can be used with the Innova 5000. Dedicated platforms
are available for a variety of flask sizes. Universal platforms are also available. (See
Section 6 for a list of accessories.)

1.2 Universal Power Module
Voltage and frequency have been set prior to shipment. Innova shakers are available
in 100V, 120V, 220V and 240V, and can accommodate both 50 and 60 Hz
frequencies.
A voltage selector, which is incorporated in the power entry module, and a frequency
selector switch are used to select the appropriate voltage and frequency. This
universal system adapts to worldwide power requirements.
Do not plug the shaker into a power source until you check
the voltage and frequency settings.
Check the voltage selection on the power entry module (see
Figure 4) against the Caution label located over the power
cord connection and your electric power source.
Check the position of the frequency selector switch (see
Figure 4).
Also see Section 5.2, Changing Voltage & Frequency.

1.3 Control Panel
The control panel (see Figure 2) is located on the front of the instrument. It serves as
the operator interface. The keypad has four keys marked START/STOP, σ, τ and
SELECT. A three-digit LED display provides numeric values as well as some letter
codes. There are also four function indicator lights and four status indicator lights
on the control panel.
A general description of the display, user interface keys and indicators follows.
For operation of the control panel, see Section 3, Operation.

1.4 Platform Assemblies
The Innova 5000 can be used with wide variety of New Brunswick 32½-inch x 26¾inch (82.5 cm x 68 cm) platforms which will accept a variety of clamps for flasks, test
tubes, etc. (see listing in Section 6).

1.5 Speed/Monitor Option
A Speed/Monitor Option (P/N M1194-9924) is available. This option allows the
connection of a chart recorder so that shaking speed can be documented. The analog
output for shaking speed is 0-3.5V (1V per 100 RPM).
The output can also be connected to a data logging computer with an analog data
acquisition card.
1.6 Heavy Duty Construction
1.6.1 Eccentric Drive
The eccentric drive used in the Innova shakers employs the same proven
technology that has reliably 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” that may occur with
less precisely balanced instruments. Vibrations are minimized and the life of
the unit is extended.
Innova 5000 M1196-0050 Operating Manual

1.6.2 Bearings
Innova shakers employ sealed lubricated ball bearings of the highest quality.
Sealed bearings minimize the generation of airborne particulates that could be
disadvantageous in clean rooms or controlled environment areas.
This bearing design, which requires no maintenance, has performed reliably in
New Brunswick shakers for many years.
1.6.3 Motor
The Innova 5000 shaker uses a brushless ball bearing DC motor. This motor
provides high torque along with quiet, efficient operation and low
maintenance. The rugged motor has a rating of 1/3 horsepower.
1.7 Electronic Boards
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.
• Maintaining an elapsed running time clock.
• Containing firmware for shaker control as well as recognition of an expansion
connector for option modules.
• Providing an operator interface via displays, audible alarm and connection to the
keypad module (keypad buttons and display graphics).
The optional speed/monitor module is designed to piggy-back onto the main board via
an expansion connector. It has the following functions:
• Control of analog power supplies.
• Providing remote monitoring capabilities by supplying analog outputs for speed
that are compatible with chart recorders and analog data acquisition systems.

2.1 Unpacking
Upon unpacking the unit, inspect it carefully for any apparent damage that may have
occurred during transit. Immediately report any damage to the carrier and to the New
Brunswick Scientific Co., Inc. Service Department.
Do not discard the crate or packing material.
2.2 Voltage Configuration
Do not plug the shaker into a power source until you check
the voltage setting.
Determine the voltage of your unit by checking the voltage indicator and Caution label
on the rear of the unit. Confirm that the correct electrical service package is included
with the unit by referring to the table below (also see Section 5.2, Changing Voltage &
Frequency).

NOTE:
2.3 Space Requirements
Innova 5000 M1196-0050 Operating Manual
Use of the Innova shakers requires a platform which is separate i tem.
See Section 6 of this manual for a listing of available platf or m s. The
Innova 5000 uses 32½-inch x 26¾-inch (82.5 cm x 68 cm) platforms.
It is essential that the instrument be situated in an area where there is sufficient space
for the shaker and platform to clear walls and obstructions during operation. See
Figure 3 on the following page.
