Do not pug the unit into an ungrounded power socket, and do not use an ungrounded extension ead. Disconnect the unit from the eectric circuit before moving. Disconnect the externa power suppy unit from power socket to turn off the unit. If iquid penetrates into the unit, disconnect it from the externa power suppy unit and have it checked by a repair and maintenance technician. Version 2.03 - Juy 2013 Page 3
DURING OPERATION Do not eave the operating unit unattended. Do not impede the patform motion. Do not operate the unit in environments with aggressive or exposive chemica mixtures. Do not operate the unit if it is fauty or has been instaed incorrecty. Do not use outside aboratory rooms. Do not check the temperature by touch. Use a thermometer. BIOLOGICAL SAFETY It is the user's responsibiity to carry out appropriate decontamination if hazardous materia is spit on or penetrates into the equipment. Version 2.03 - Juy 2013 Page 4
2. Genera Information The Thermo Shaker PHMP/PHMP-4 is designed for shaking a specia patform that hods 1 4 standard micropates, and controing the set temperature in the range of 25 C to 60 C (if the room temperature (RT) is ess than 25 C). The main features of thethermo-shaker are uadditiona heating source, in the id of the device, which aows: faster heat-up times; increase of temperature range; reduces condensation in the pate. vcompact size. winformative LCD, which aows instant contro over both set and current temperatures of the auminium bock, as we as the shaking intensity and duration. The Thermo Shaker was designed using the muti-system principe, which aows use as three independent devices: uincubator for incubation without shaking of micropates; vmicropate Shaker for operation in the cod room or other conditions, which do not require temperature stabiisation; wthermo Shaker for immunochemistry and moecuar diagnostics, where stringent requirements of repeatabiity and precision are necessary. An externa 12 V power suppy unit is used to power the unit. This makes it safe for use in the cod room, where condensation may cause eakage current from the eectric circuit. The device can be used in: cytochemistry for in situ reactions; immunochemistry for immunofermentative reactions; biochemistry for enzyme and protein anaysis; moecuar bioogy for matrix anaysis. The maximum guaranteed number of diagnostic cyces in the Thermo-Shaker mode, which require 15 30 min work in one cyce, is 7000 14000 times. Version 2.03 - Juy 2013 Page 5
3. Getting started 3.1 Unpacking Remove packing materias carefuy and retain them for future shipment or storage of the unit. Examine the unit carefuy for any damage incurred during transit. The warranty does not cover in-transit damage. 3.2 Thermo-Shaker set incudes: 3.3 Set up Thermo Shaker PHMP/PHMP-4...1 piece Spare rubber drive bet...2 pieces Externa power suppy unit...1 piece ; Decaration of Conformity...1 copy Pace the unit onto an even horizonta non-fammabe surface away from any fammabe materias (not ess than 30 cm); Pug the externa power suppy unit into the socket at the rear side of the PHMP and position the unit so that there is easy access to the power switch and the externa power suppy unit.

4. Operation of PHMP / PHMP-4 4.1 Connect the externa power suppy unit to a grounded power socket and set the power switch ocated on the rear pane of the unit to position I ("ON"). 4.2 The dispay wi turn on with the upper ine (Set) showing time, speed and temperature set earier and the ower ine (Actua) showing current readings of the same parameters (thermobock temperature C, which automaticay starts rising according to the temperature set in the upper ine). The time of temperature stabiisation depends on the initia temperature. Setting the parameters Use the readings in the upper ine of the dispay (Set), whie setting the necessary parameters. Setting time (TIME) 4.3 Using the pand qkeys (Fig. 1/u) set the required working time interva in hours and minutes (increment - 1 min). Pressing the key for more than 3 sec wi increase the increment. Setting speed (RPM) 4.4 Using the pand qkeys (Fig. 1/v) set the required speed (increment 10 RPM). Pressing the key for more than 3 sec wi increase the increment. Setting temperature (T,ºC) 4.5 Using the pand qkeys (Fig. 1/w) set the necessary temperature (increment 0.1ºC). Pressing the key for more than 3 sec wi increase the increment. Caution! Set Actua Program execution 00:00 1000 35.0 STOP 0000 35.0 hr : min Thermo-Shaker Fig. 1 Contro pane The patform heating can be turned off ony by setting the required temperature beow 25 C (the dispay wi show OFF T,ºC set point). It can be used in cod rooms as a mixing device without therma reguation in this mode. After the therma stabiisation of the unit (when the set and current temperature readings become the same) Version 2.03 - Juy 2013 Page 7
4.6 Micropate fixation: PHMP PHMP-4 PHMP: Pace micropates on the patform and fix it with the specia push-down cip by pressing it against the pate covers. PHMP-4: Unscrew the fixation screws. Pace micropates on the patform and fix them by tightening the fixation screws. Caution! For mode PHMP: Load ony pairs of micropates for best fixing. Correct oading Wrong oading Caution! For mode PHMP-4: The micropate fixation screws must aways be tightened to avoid damage. Tighten the fixation screws competey when micropates are removed from or paced on the patform. Do not cose the id if the micropate fixation screws are not tightened to avoid damage. 4.7 Press the RPM-RUN/STOP key (Fig. 1/x). The patform wi start rotating and the timer indicator wi start counting up the time interva (with 1 min precision). 4.8 After finishing the program the patform motion wi stop and the timer wi show the fashing reading STOP accompanied by the repetitive sound signa unti the RPM-RUN/STOP key is pressed. 4.9 If the working time is not set (or is reset) and the timer indicator in the upper ine shows 00:00, pressing the RPM-RUN/STOP key wi start continuous operation of the Thermo-shaker (timer indicator wi start counting up the time interva in the ower ine (Actua)) unti the RPM- RUN/STOP key is pressed again. Pease note! The patform temperature wi be constanty maintained in accordance with the set temperature. This aows the devise to be used again without pre-heating. 4.10 The timer can be reset during operation if required. Press the TIME-RUN/STOP key once (Fig. 1/y) to stop the timer. Press the TIME-RUN/STOP key again to restart the timer. 4.11 The patform motion can be stopped at any time by pressing the RPM-RUN /STOP key. In this case the program reaisation run and the patform motion wi stop and the timer wi switch into the STOP mode saving previousy set time. Press the RPM-RUN/STOP key to repeat the operation with the same time and speed. Caution! At the end of the set time period the patform movement is stopped automaticay, but the heating can be stopped ony by reducing the temperature using the qt(ºc) key (Fig. 1/wower key) ti the OFF sign appears in the upper part of the dispay. 4.12 After finishing the operation set the power switch, ocated on the rear pane of the unit, in position O (Off) and disconnect the externa power suppy from eectric circuit.
