1 OVERVIEW 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.
Figure 1: Front View 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.
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.
• 1.3.2 Hours remaining (timed run) User Interface Keys • START/STOP This key is used to start or stop the shaking motion. It will also activate or stop the timer when timed run is desired. • σ, τ These keys are used to adjust the setpoint of a displayed parameter up or down. They also allow the user to enter the Set mode for setpoint changes. • SELECT This key is used to change the displayed parameter. 1.3.
1.3.4 1.4 Function Indicators • RPM Revolutions per minute • HRS Time remaining • ºC Not applicable • * Not applicable 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.
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.
2 2.1 INSTALLATION 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 WARNING! Do not plug the shaker into a power source until you check the voltage setting.
Figure 3: Space Requirements The dimensions of the Innova 5000 including a platform (excluding glassware) are: Width Depth Height 2.4 62 inches 38 inches 53 inches 157 cm 96.5 cm 135 cm Installation 1. With the unit in an operating position, adjust the hollow leveling screw (see Figures 1 & 7) until the platform is level. 2. With the unit leveled, tighten the lock-nut on each leveling screw. 3. Prior to making electrical connections to the unit, set the power switch to OFF. 4.
2.5 Electrical Connections CAUTION! Before making electrical connections, be sure to follow these instructions: 1. Check the voltage and frequency selector switches on the rear of the unit to ensure that they are set to the appropriate voltage and frequency. 2. Remove the Caution label from the rear of the unit. 3. Set the circuit breaker on the front of the unit to the OFF position. ONLY THEN: 4.

3 3.1 OPERATION Getting Started To start the instrument, turn the power switch to the ON position. When the shaker is running, the LED display will track the speed as it accelerates to the last entered setpoint. The shaking action may be stopped or started by pressing the START/STOP key. NOTE: At the higher speed ranges, we recommend that the platforms have a 30 percent minimum load to maintain a good balance condition. 3.2 Continuous (Unlimited) Run 1. 2. 3. 4.
3.4 Timed Functions The shaker may be programmed to stop automatically after a preset time period of 0.1 hour to 99.9 hours. There must be power to the shaker in order to set the timer. However, a timed run can be initiated while the unit is either shaking or stopped. 3.4.1 Setting the Timer 1. Press the SELECT key to light HRS. 2. Press either σ or τ to enter the Set mode, then set a time period of 0.1 to 99.9 hours. 3.
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. After 10,000 hours of operation, the Maint indicator will light. Preventive maintenance is recommended at this point. The light can be deactivated by Eppendorf service personnel.
2. Simultaneously press the σ and τ keys. The Set and Maint indicators will flash. 3. While the Set and Maint indicators are flashing, press the START/STOP key. The Mute indicator will extinguish to advise that the audible alarm is active. NOTE: The shaker may be started or stopped by pressing the START/STOP key. When starting, the unit will automatically return to the last function and speed setting. The audible alarm will sound until the speed is within 5 RPM of the setpoint.
4 4.1 MAINTENANCE Cleaning The unit may be cleaned using a cloth dampened with water or any standard household or laboratory cleaner to wipe down its outer surfaces. CAUTION! Never use abrasive or corrosive compounds to clean this instrument, as they may damage the unit and void the warranty. 4.2 Preventive Maintenance The Innova Shaker requires no routine maintenance on the part of the user. The Maint indicator light goes on at the end of 10,000 hours of use.

5 SERVICE The following section describes basic service procedures and provides instructions to install optional features. All of these procedures must be performed by a qualified service engineer. WARNING! BEFORE any service or maintenance intervention on the instrument, the Service Engineer must turn the power switch OFF and disconnect the power cord. 5.1 Fuse Replacement The unit design incorporates a circuit breaker, which is used as an ON/OFF switch.
Figure 6: Power Entry Module 5. 6. 7. 8. Reinstall the fuse drawer in the power entry module. Set the frequency slide switch to appropriate position. Check that the proper power cord is available for the voltage selected. Plug the power cord into the power cord connection on the unit and the power source. 9. Set the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. The unit is ready for operation. 5.3 Belt Replacement When a new drive belt is needed, the Service Engineer will: (see Figure 1) 1.
