Electrical Installation - Stuart SSM1 Manuel D'utilisation

range is 5 to 70 rpm. Max load 3kg and 10kg
respectively.
Models SSM5 and SSL5 are designed
for use with microtitre plates and
microcentrifuge tubes. High speed
combined with a tiny orbit creates the vibrational
shaking action required for mixing very small
volumes. Speed range is 250 to 1,200 rpm.
IMPORTANT Maximum load is 1kg.

4.1 Electrical Installation

THIS INSTRUMENT MUST BE
EARTHED
Before connection please read and understand
these instructions and ensure that the line supply
corresponds to that shown on the rating plate.
All models are designed for use on 230V 50Hz.
The power consumption of each unit is 50W.
The instruments are fitted with an IEC socket at
the rear of the instrument for connection of the
mains lead.
Caution: Fuses fitted in both live and
neutral lines.
These units are supplied with two mains leads
fitted with IEC plugs for connection to the
instrument. One lead has a U.K. 3 pin plug and
the other has a 2-pin "Shuko" plug for
connection to the mains. Choose the lead
appropriate for your electrical installation and
discard the other.
Should neither lead be suitable, take the lead
with the U.K. plug and replace the plug with a
suitable alternative. This involves cutting off the
moulded plug, preparing the cable and
connecting to the rewireable plug in accordance
with its instructions.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THIS OPERATION
SHOULD ONLY BE UNDERTAKEN BY A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN
NOTE: Refer to the equipment's rating plate to
ensure that the plug and fusing are suitable for
the voltage and wattage stated.
The wires in the mains cable are coloured as
follows:
LIVE - BROWN
NEUTRAL - BLUE
EARTH - GREEN/YELLOW
The appropriate mains lead should be connected
to the instrument BEFORE connection to the
mains supply.
Should the mains lead need replacement a cable
of 1mm 2 of harmonised code H05VV-F
connected to an IEC320 plug should be used.
N.B. The U.K. mains lead is protected by a 10A
fuse mounted in the plug top.
IF IN DOUBT CONSULT A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN
4.2 Connect to the electricity supply – DO NOT
SWITCH ON.
4.3 Place the unit on a firm level non slip
surface ensuring that there is sufficient free
space on all sides to allow movement without
coming into contact with anything during use.
4.4 Assemble cradle and rollers onto platform
where applicable (ie SSL1, SSM1 with SSM1/1 &
SSL2), making sure that the thumb screws have
been tightened prior to operation.
4.5 Load the shaker/rocker with samples
ensuring that the load is evenly balanced and
does not exceed the maximum load stated.
4.6 Adjusting the angle of tilt on the 3D gyratory
motion rockers, models SSM3 and SSL3. Set the
rocker to the minimum speed (5rpm).
Underneath the platform you will see a
cylindrical shaft with a nut on it, stop the rocker
when the nut faces you. Do not loosen the
nut. The platform can now be tilted at right
angles to the front fascia. Once you are happy
with the angle of tilt restart the rocker.
