1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 DEFINITION
222DS BENCHTOP SHAKING INCUBATOR is a combination product of a shaker and a

temperature chamber, designed for shaking and heat treatment of sensitive samples. It
replaces two devices, reduces time and space needed. It is very suitable for biochemistry,
microbiology and medicine laboratories in which thermal and shaking treatment of samples is
a daily used routine.

1.2 KEY FEATURES

- High temperature working range.

- Large environment temperature range - you can use device also in cold rooms.

- Digital readout of all parameters - you can read temporary or preset RPM, temperature,
time, acceleration, when device is running or when it is in stand-by mode.

- You can change parameter values while the device is running (except timer).

- Last parameter values reside in the memory even if the device was switched off.

- Precisely adjusted and maintained temperature regulation within 0.5°C of absolute
deviation from the set temperature in device working area.

- Incorporated HOLD and STEP time function with 1 minute resolution.

- Special parallel temperature protection for your safety.

- Error number combined indication of possible errors.

- Easy interchangeable platforms.

- Lid sensor.

2.0 TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

2.1 CONSTRUCTION

The casing of BENCTOP SHAKING INCUBATOR is made of steel plate, varnished with high
resistant polyurethane lacquer. Temperature chamber lid is made of PMMA, which is
resistant to the temperatures up to 90°C.
Basic equipment consists of independent shaking device and temperature chamber. Both
sections are driven and regulated via microcontroller driven electronics, which also controls
all necessary sensors for motor speed, temperature, lid, temperature safety fuse, time and
self diagnostics error levels in variety of margin situations.

3.0 INSTALLATION

3.1 UNPACKING

Before starting the installation, carefully examine the delivery for possible damage or missing
parts:

- Leave enough space on the back side of the device for normal air circulation.

- Leave enough space around the device, that you will easy control and maintain it.

- Don’t use the device in surroundings, where there are fast temperature and humidity
changes. Please avoid also such places, which are under direct access of sunlight or
places nearby heat producing devices.

- Avoid such places, where the possibility of shocks and vibrations exists.

Do not use the device in inflammable or explosive atmosphere!

Note: The equipment shall be placed so that it is not difficult to pull out a cord plug

from mains receptacle.

3.3 ATTACHING POWER CORD

Fit the mains cord, which is included in the delivery, into the mains receptacle. Connect the
other end of the cord to a grounded wall socket.

3.4 ATTACHING SHAKING PLATFORMS

The SHAKING INCUBATOR has a variety of platforms available, to meet most of the shaking
needs. These platforms mount to the shakers via four mounting platforms which easily plug
into four rubber mounting points on the top of the shaking incubator.

3.5 STARTING UP

3.5.1 STARTING UP CHECK LIST

- Unpack and place the device as specified in previous paragraphs.

- Open the lid and fix shaking platform with test samples on the plate.

- Close the lid cover.

- Switch on the device by the ON/OFF switch on the front panel.

Light in the switch indicates that the power is on.

- Check all the parameters and set new parameters values if necessary. Please refer to
procedures described in next chapters.

3.6 GENERAL SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

Before any installation read this User’s Manual.
