2.4 Software interfaces
The RS-232 port is located below the Mains/Power switch on the right side of the control panel. It can be
used to connect a computer to the shaker for control of operating conditions or data logging
applications
(see Remote programming on p. 37).
The customer is responsible for securing the proper driver to interface with the RS-232.
2.5 Drip pan resevoir
The Innova 40/40R Shaker is equipped with a plastic liner to protect the electronics and temperature
controls. An optional drip pan (part number M1250-9906) is recommended to protect the drive mechanism
in case of accidental spills and/or broken glassware.
2.6 Heater
Whenever the heater is on, the heater on icon will appear in the display . The heater automatically stops
running when the lid is opened.
The heater has the following features:
• 1000 ohm platinum RTD.
• Pulse width modulation on a 2.5 s duty cycle (this cycle time is fast enough to prevent noticeable
changes in air temperature).
• Long-life, low-watt density resistance-type heater with high temperature thermostat.
2.7 Alarms
If an alarm condition exists, the field in the lower right corner will alternate the day and time with
characters indicating the nature of the alarm condition, accompanied by an audible alarm (unless
muted)
(see To mute the audible alarm on p. 29).
