General Information - IKA MTS 2/4 digital Mode D'emploi

It is designed for use in laboratories. The motion of the
agitation table is a horizontal circular-shaped motion at
every point, thanks to a newly designed vibration ele-
ment. The circular movement is produced by an excen-
ter with a 3-mm stroke (peak-to-peak).
To ensure usage in conformity with intended purpose,
the device must rest upon a stable, even and slip-free
holding surface. Otherwise it must be ensured that
objects in the vicinity of the device are kept at an appro-
priate distance and that they cannot move around
during the agitation process. Please make certain that
the device is by itself and not touching any other objec-
ts. The arrange-
ment of the agita-
tion table
designed so that
the device requi-
res a little setup
place as possible.
In spite of this,
you have the opti-
on of mounting
the agitation
table rotated by
90 degrees.
First remove the power cord. Remove the round band
on the four clamping bolts on the agitation table. Then
completely loosen the four fastening screws with the
aid of the socket wrench included with delivery and
remove the fastening screws. Rotate the agitation table
by 90 degrees. Do not remove the spacing ring (No. 54)
on the inside; otherwise the bearing will be exposed.
Assemble the clamping bolts and screws in the reverse
order. Make certain the screws are seated properly in
their threadings.

Unpacking
Please unpack the equipment carefully and check for any dama-
ges. It is important that any damages which may have arisen
during transport are ascertained when unpacking. If applicable a
fact report must be set immediately (post, rail or forwarder).
The delivery scope covers:
A IKA MTS 2/4 digital, an Torx-offset screwdriver, an connecting
cable, 5 O-rings and operating instructions.

General information

With the purchase of this device, you have acquired a high-qua-
lity product. The design of the unit and its special shape ensu-
re ease of handing and problem-free work.
The speed-controlled external rotor asynchronous
motor allows for infinite adjustment of the speed in the
600
300 900
range from 0 to 1100 rpms. The electronic motor con-
150
0 1100 1100
trol system keeps the speed constant. The heat gene-
rated by the motor may cause the holding surface of
the micro-titer plates to heat up.
The movement of the agitation table with the weight
placed on it to be agitated produces a reaction force on
the drive. This force is comparable with an imbalance.
There is therefore an imbalance weight on the motor
that compensates for part of the imbalance forces.
Because of the differing weight of every material to be
agitated, a residual imbalance remains. This imbalance
tends to move the device back and forth and to move it
on the holding surface. To prevent the entire system
from resonating, always fit the device evenly with at
least two micro-titer plates. Never operate the device
