1 RIPPLE TANK - with rippler & kit - Serrata Science Equipment

INSTRUCTION SHEETThe unit consists of:• 1x. Tank, 540x420mm, with glass bottom 380x260mm, and folding legs.• 1x Ripple generating unit with inbuilt speed control(connects to any standard laboratory supply, up to 12V.AC/DC.)• 1 pr. cables and plugs for Ripple Generator.• 1x. Set of ‘dippers’ of various shapes to fit the Ripple Generator.• 1x. Set of ‘barriers’ to place in the water to disturb ripples.• 1x. Rail for supporting the Ripple Generator (fits to tank).• 1x. Rail for supporting Light Source (fits to tank).• 1x. Illuminating light source, cable and plugs (12V.AC/DC).• 1x. White faced screen to view wave images.Using an Electronic Stroboscope: (Not included in standard kit)A Xenon Stroboscope (IEC LB3808-001) may be used as a light source above the rippletank. It may be held or mounted above the ripple tank instead of the standard simple lightsource for certain experiments.When using the Strobe light to illuminate the tank, synchronize the frequency of the Strobeflash with the frequency of the waves so that they appear stationary on the white faced screenplaced on the bench beneath the tank. The synchronising frequency is the highest Strobefrequency which appears to 'stop' the waves without creating a double image. Alternatively,using the Stroboscope, observe the ripple generator itself. When it appears to have stoppedoscillating, this is the synchronised frequency.Features of the IEC Ripple Tank:This IEC design can be used as either a normal ripple tank on the bench or a ripple tank foruse with an overhead projector (projector not supplied in the kit). The adjustable legs arelong enough to support the tank above the Fresnel lens of the standard models of overheadprojector used in most schools. The tank can rest on the screen of the overhead projector,but it is better if it is supported on its own adjustable legs to avoid unwanted vibration fromthe projector’s cooling fan.The tank is corrosion resistant and is provided with sturdy fold-away legs for compactstorage. Each leg has individual height adjustment. The tank itself has 'Beached' sides sothat waves are absorbed and not reflected from the sides back into the tank. The tank has astrong glass bottom panel because plastic materials scratch easily and do not retain a flatclear surface over the life of the equipment.The tank is complete with various mounting guides for the illumination support and therippler support frames. Except for a simple power supply, ancillary equipment is notrequired to operate the IEC ripple tank.INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT & CONTROL PTY.LTD.6 1 - 6 5 M c C l u r e S t .
