Table 2
Put the instrument on stable and safe place and plug in the mains power. Turn ON the mains switch on the left panel. The instrument starts self-test. The instrument shows rated speed and time after initialization. Turn the speed knob on the left side to set the rated speed. Press the speed knob and characters on the left LCD do not flash any more, and the shaking function is switched ON. Press the speed knob again and characters on the left LCD begin to flash, and the shaking function is switched OFF. Turn the time knob on the left side to set the rated time Press the time knob and characters on the LCD do not flash any more, and the timing function is switched ON. Press the time knob again and characters on the right LCD begin to flash, and the timing function is switched OFF.

8.2 Set

Set time
The rated shaking time can be set by turning the time knob on the right. A distinction is made for the shaking time setting between timed mode and continuous operation. If continuous mode is selected, the shake can continue its shaking function for any amount of time with the previously set speed. If timed mode is selected, the shaker can run in the set time. After the instrument is powered OFF and restarted, the set time is erased to zero blanking and it switches into offline operating mode. If a target time (max. 19h 59min) and speed are set, users can activate the instrument with pressing the time knob，and the time begin to read, If:
A，pressing the time knob，the speed and the time will stop. Pressing the time knob again, restart the shake function, the time will use the pre-set time.
B，pressing the speed knob，the speed and the time will stop; Pressing the time knob again, restart the shake function, the time not (There are flashing on the right of the LCD )， pressing the time knob again restart the time function. The time will use the pre-set time.

Set speed
The rated speed and upper speed limit can be set by turning the speed knob.The continuous mode can be switched ON with pressing the left knob without the time setting and switched OFF with pressing the knob again. Adjust the motor speed knob slowly in order to keep the instrument running smoothly.
