Orbital Shaker-Incubator is a compact bench–top Shaker–Incubator used for mixing of biological
liquids as well as for incubation and cultivation of biological liquids according to the operator set
program. Seven interchangeable platforms allow it mix and culture samples in flask, petri dish,
tubes, Elisa plates, and etc. Built–in microprocessor thermo controller provides constant
temperature control in the incubator chamber. It is extremely easy to operate, with very
straightforward setup of temperature, speed and time.
Feature：
 Instantly display operation information(time, temperature and speed) on the LCD screen.
 Gentle and reliable shaking with direct brushless DC motor.
 Running safely –-heating and shaking will be automatically stopped once the lid is open.
 Seven interchangeable platforms can be chosen for variety demands.
 Auto restart in case of power failure.
 Over-heating protection device is included.
 Built-in temperature calibration function.
 Compact, only 421mmx320mm(DXW).

 Chapter 4: Temperature Calibration
The temperature of the instrument has been calibrated before it is sold out. But if there is deviation
between the actual temperature and the displayed temperature due to some reasons, you can do as
follows to correct the error.

System inner temperature must be below 30℃ when start calibration!

Adjustment methods as follows:
1. Inject thermometer probe through the calibration circular hole into system inner. (Make sure the
precision of the thermometer should be within 0.1℃). The thermometer probe will be go down
12cm from the Lid top. Then use high-temperature adhesive tape to fix the lead wire of thermometer.
Make sure that thermometer probe is fixed firmly and vertically upper the center.

2. Press / in system setting menu, it turns into Calibration setting menu. Long press Start/Stop
▲
▼

to Enable Calibration function. The system will heat to 37.0℃ automatically.

Calibration mode
T1: 36.8 Wait
In the display window, temp. value is current temperature of system inner. “Wait” means it is
heating.

3. When temperature reaches and keeps at 37.0℃, the decimal place will flicker and display
“USER”. Read the thermometer actual temperature.

4. If the actual temperature of thermometer is 37.1℃, press ▲ or ▼ to adjust temperature to 37.1℃,
then press Start/Stop key to confirm.
Note: In order to insure temperature accuracy, please amend it when the temperature reaches
setting temperature and keeps for 30mins.

Calibration mode

5. Then system will automatically heat up to next calibration. Users need to repeat above steps and
input data at each calibration. After calibration, screen shows succeed and remind users to reboot
system.

Cali Succeed!!
Reboot System

Note: If users want to exit calibration, please power off then restart instrument.
If power off or power outage during calibration, this calibration is invalid.
