2.2 Features
2.2.1 General

The Innova 3100 is a shaker that incorporates a triple eccentric counterbalanced drive to provide horizontal
plane rotary motion in a ½ inch (12.7 mm) circular orbit. A Proportional/Integral (PI) microprocessor
controller with instantaneous digital feedback controls the speed over a range of 25-400 RPM. It also
provides temperature control over a range of 5 °C above ambient to 80 °C. For lower temperatures an
optional water bath cooling coil is available.
 Product description
Innova® 3100 Digital Water Bath Shaker 9
English (EN)

The shaker may be operated either continuously or in a timed mode via a programmable timer for shaking
periods of 0.1 hour to 99.9 hours.

The Innova 3100 is equipped with audible and visible alarms which are activated when an alarm condition
exists as follows:

• The end of a timed run

• Deviations of shaking speed or temperature outside of tolerance limits
• Low water level
• Water overflow

A wide variety of platforms can be used with the Innova 3100. Dedicated platforms are available for a
variety of flask sizes. A Universal platform and test tube racks are also available.

The Innova 3100 has a built-in water level control system which is infinitely adjustable over a wide range.
To compensate for evaporation, water is automatically replenished to the preset level.

Additionally, the Innova 3100 has analog outputs for a chart recorder that will record speed and/or
temperature. See Chapter 5 for recorder adaptation.

2.2.2 Universal Power Capability

A voltage selector switch is used to select the appropriate voltage. This universal system adapts to
worldwide power requirements. Voltage has been set prior to shipment. Innova shakers are available in 100
V, 120 V, 220 V and 240 V versions, and accommodate both 50 Hz and 60 Hz frequencies.

WARNING! Risk of injury to personnel

 It is critical that you check the voltage settings before you plug the device into a power
source (see Utilities Requirements on p. 15).

2.2.3 Platform Assemblies

The Innova 3100 can be used with a wide variety of Eppendorf 12 inch x 16.5 inch platforms which will
accept a variety of clamps for flasks and test tubes. Additionally, a subplatform is available to adapt half
platforms for flasks and test tubes used on the Eppendorf Model G86 Aqua Therm Water Bath Shaker.

2.2.4 Cooling Coil Option

The Innova 3100 can be ordered with a cooling coil factory-installed. The cooling coil provides the ability to
operate at temperatures below ambient.

2.2.5 Triple Eccentric Drive

The Triple Eccentric Drive (see Fig. 2-3 on p. 10) used in the Innova 3100 employs the same proven
technology which has driven Eppendorf shakers for over 30 years.

This drive mechanism utilizes a counterweight system to stabilize the rotary motion produced during
operation. When the workload moves in one direction, opposing forces are generated to stabilize the
shaker. This action will help eliminate the problem of “walking” which may occur with less precisely
balanced instruments. Vibration is minimized and the life of the device is extended.

2.2.6 Bearings

Innova shakers employ shielded lubricated ball bearings of the highest quality. Shielded bearings minimize
the generation of airborne particulates which may be disadvantageous in clean rooms or controlled
environment areas. These bearings require no maintenance.

2.2.7 Motor

The Innova 3100 shaker uses a 3-phase brushless ball bearing DC motor. This low profile motor provides
high torque along with quiet, efficient operation and low maintenance. This motor has a rating of 1/15
horsepower.

The overflow tube is the farthest left of the three tubes that project down from the back of the bath. The
other two tubes are used only when the cooling coil option is installed.

To minimize the development of rust inside the waterbath:

• If you are using tap water in the bath, make sure the water has a low iron content.
• If you are using distilled water, mix it with a small amount of tap water and/or add
dissolved salts. Any ultra-pure (distilled, de-ionized or reverse osmosis) water tends to
leach the iron from the stainless steel, encouraging oxidation.
 Installation
Innova® 3100 Digital Water Bath Shaker 19
English (EN)

If the cooling coil option is factory-installed in your device, an additional 16-foot reinforced rubber hose is
provided, with corresponding clamps, for connection to the coolant or water supply. To install the hose:

1. Cut the hose into two pieces to suit a water supply and drain length requirement.
2. Attach each of the two hoses to the cooling coil connection tubes with clamps, allowing 1/8 - 3/16 inch
of hose to extend beyond the clamps.
One line must go to an open drain or return to a coolant supply; the other line must be connected to a
water or coolant supply.

If you are using tap water as coolant for the device, it is preferable that the supply hose be
attached to a supply valve, to minimize water use.

return vent. The controller uses the probe input to adjust air temperature, up or down, to match the
temperature setpoint.
 Operation
24 Innova® 3100 Digital Water Bath Shaker
English (EN)

Depending on various conditions within the chamber, such as flask placement and size, the heat produced
by growing organisms, heat losses due to liquid evaporation from flasks, etc., the display temperature may
differ from temperatures within the flasks themselves.

If you wish to have the temperature display (“Indicated Temperature”) match the temperature at a given
point, or match the average of a series of points within the chamber (“Actual Temperature”), proceed as
follows:

1. Let the unit equilibrate at or near the desired temperature. Record the Indicated Temperature.
2. Record the Actual Temperature.
3. Calculate the temperature correction value: Actual Temperature – Indicated Temperature = Temperature
Correction Value.
4. Press the SELECT key until the °C function indicator illuminates.
5. Simultaneously press ▲ and ▼ keys. The SET and MAINT indicators will light.
6. While the SET and MAINT indicators are illuminated, use ▲ or ▼ key to set the display to the calculated
Temperature Correction Value.
The °C light will pulse rapidly for a short duration to indicate it is not operating in the factory
default mode. It will pulse for a longer duration and less rapidly (with a frequency of
approximately one second) to indicate temperature is more than one degree above or below
setpoint.

To return to the factory calibration:

1. Press SELECT key until the °C function indicator illuminates.

2. Simultaneously press ▲ and ▼ keys. The SET and MAINT indicators will light.
While the SET and MAINT indicators are illuminated, press START/STOP key.

5.8 Total Running Time

The control module of the Innova 3100 totals the time the shaker has been “ON” to track hours of usage.

To display the accumulated running time:

1. Select HRS using SELECT key.

2. Simultaneously press ▲ and ▼ keys.
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.

5.9 MAINT Indicator Light

After 10,000 hours of operation, the MAINT indicator will light. Preventive maintenance is recommended at
this point. The light can be deactivated by an Eppendorf service personnel. Alteration of the internal clock
by unauthorized personnel will void the warranty.

The level control maintains a water level slightly above the platform. To adjust the water level:

1. Ensure power is ON.

2. Remove rear baffle by lifting it straight up and away.
The level control is exposed.
3. Note the position of the water level and decide whether the desired level is higher or lower.
4. To raise the water level, note the position of the flexible tube graduations (these gradations and
markings are for reference only).
5. Lift the tube up and push the excess tubing through the rear wall of the tank. As you raise the control,
the solenoid will open and water will fill the bath until the new water level is established.
6. To lower the water level, feed the flexible tube back into the vertical stainless steel tube. The drain valve
should then be opened. Close the drain valve when you hear the solenoid valve operating.
7. When the water level set is satisfactory, replace rear baffle.

5.11 Low Water Level Alarm

To prevent heating when there is no water in the bath, the device is provided with a safety circuit to ensure
that the heater will not activate if no water is present. The * (Low Water Level) indicator will flash and the
audible alarm will sound. The * indicator will also light if the water level is below the minimum setting.

When the water level alarms are activated, check to be sure that:

• the “Water In” hose is properly in place

• the supply valve is open
• the drain is closed

When the condition is corrected, the alarms deactivate in approximately 10 seconds.

5.12 Draining Bath

To drain the water bath, turn off the external water supply and open the device drain valve on the rear panel
