The MAXQ 5000 series of incubated and refrigerated floor shakers are
available in one of two control configurations:
• A-Class shakers SHKA5000, SHKA5000-1CE, SHKA5000-7 and
SHKA5000-8CE: control temperature by a Proportional/Integral/
Derivative (PID) microprocessor-based controller. Solid-state control
maintains time and speed and is adjustable with rotary dials. Analog
tachometer displays speed in RPM, verifying accuracy of speed setting.
Refrigerated units feature environmentally safe CFC free insulation
and coolant.
• E-Class shakers SHKE5000, SHKE5000-1CE, SHKE5000-7 and
SHKE5000-8CE: control temperature, time and speed by a
Proportional/Integral/Derivative (PID) microprocessor-based controller
that is adjustable with membrane switches on a keypad in 1 rpm
increments. Solid-state DC brushless motor provides more power.
Refrigerated units feature environmentally safe CFC free insulation
and coolant. Flashing display indicates power interruption. Pressing
any key will clear display. Non-volatile memory maintains speed and
time set points in the event of a power interruption. Speed and time
set points are automatically reactivated after power is restored.
Two temperature ranges are available all with accuracy of ±0.1°C at 37°C
in flask:
• Standard Temperature: SHKA5000, SHKA5000-1CE, SHKE5000
and SHKE5000-1CE, 10°C above ambient to 60°C.
• Refrigerated: SHKA5000-7, SHKA5000-8CE, SHKE5000-7 and
SHKE5000-8CE: 15°C BELOW ambient to 60°C. Refrigeration
system needs to be turned off whenever the set point is at or above
32°C.
