Power Specifications¶

An external AC/DC power unit provides power to the Heater-Shaker. It connects to mains AC power with an IEC power cable and sends DC power to the module through a mini-DIN 4-pin power connector. The power specifications for this device are shown below:

Input: 100–240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 4.0 A
Output: 36 VDC, 6.1 A, 219.6 W

Warning

Do not replace the power supply cable unless at the direction of Opentrons Support.

The following table lists power consumption values measured at the wall outlet. Typical power consumption is when the module maintains temperatures and shake speeds within the normal range. Maximum power consumption is when the module simultaneously heats at full power and shakes at maximum speed.

Operating Condition	Power Consumption
Idle	3 W
Normal	Shaking: 4–11 W Heating: 10–30 W Heating and Shaking: 10–40 W
Maximum	125–130 W

Shaking Profile¶

Speed Accuracy	±25 rpm

Note

Some labware may recommend a lower rpm.

Temperature Profile¶

LED Status Light¶

The Heater-Shaker has an LED status light that can display three colors: amber, red, and white. Understanding these status indications is important for safely handling the module. The possible module conditions indicated by the light are listed below.

LED Color	Module Status
Red	A red light indicates a hot temperature state. Solid red: Hot to the touch (>49 °C). Pulsing red: Heating
White	A solid white light indicates the module is: Powered on and idle (not actively heating or cooling). Deactivated and not hot to the touch (<49 °C).
Amber	Solid amber indicates an error.
Amber/Red	Pulsing amber and red (alternating) indicates an error and the module is hot to the touch (>49 °C)
LED off	Powered off
