1.0 General Description

1.1 Definition

The Corning® LSE™ Multipurpose Digital Vortexer is intended for vortexing microliter

plates, tubes, bottles, flasks, dishes, and other laboratory vessels. The Vortexer is driven

by asynchronous motors, which enable silent operation and constant shaking speed,

independent of the load or power supply fluctuations.

1.2 Principles of Operation

Each Vortexer device consists of two main components:

Motor with eccentric mechanism

◗ ◗

Control electronics

◗ ◗

The motor drives the Vortexer's eccentric mechanics and generates the shaking effect.

The electronics control the motor RPM, TIME, and keyboard functions.

3.0 Installation

3.1 Unpacking

Before starting installation, carefully examine the Vortexer for damage or missing parts.

Open the box and lift the device together with inner packing out of the box.

◗ ◗

Remove the inner packing and check that the Vortexer has not been visibly damaged

◗ ◗

during transportation. Keep the packing material until you are sure that the Vortexer

works properly.

Check information on the rear data label and verify the following are correct:

◗ ◗

• Model

• Serial number

• Electrical rating

Should any kind of damage have occurred during transportation, immediately notify the

carrier. The carrier is responsible for correcting damage caused in shipment.

3.2 Selecting a Suitable Location

When selecting a location for the Vortexer, please consider the following:

Put the device on a smooth, horizontal, and stable surface.

◗ ◗

Leave enough space around the device for normal air circulation, minimum 10 cm.

◗ ◗

Leave enough space around the device so that it can easily be controlled and

◗ ◗

maintained.

Do not use the device in surroundings where there are major temperature and

◗ ◗

humidity fluctuations. Also avoid locations in direct sunlight or places near devices

that produce heat.

Avoid locations with excessive vibrations.

◗ ◗

3.3 Attaching the Power Cord

Fit the main power cord, which is included in the package, into the power receptacle on

the Vortexer. Connect the other end of the cord to a properly grounded wall outlet. To

avoid interference from noise, surges, and spikes, a dedicated line is preferred. If no such

line is available, avoid lines to which powerful electric motors, refrigerators, and similar

devices are connected.

Take care when you plug the cord to a grounded wall socket. Do not touch

the plug with wet hands. Plug the cord to a grounded wall socket only with

a dry hand.
