  • Page 8: Tube Holder Configurations

    Tube Holder Configurations The next two pages will describe proper balancing and tube loading. Use the appropriate section for the rotor installed in your centrifuge. Improper loading can result in damage to the centrifuge or test tube samples. Six (6) Carrier Horizontal Rotor (standard) This rotor is designed to hold up to 6 tube carriers.
  • Page 9: 6-Place 50 Ml Fixed-Angle Rotor

    Six (6) Place 50 mL Fixed-angle Rotor (optional) This rotor is designed to hold up to six (6) 50 mL tube holders. Your centrifuge must contain a balanced load in order to work properly. To ensure that the load is balanced, keep these rules in mind when inserting test tube samples into the 6 place, 50 mL fixed-angle rotor: 1.

  • Page 11: Braking Rate

    Advanced User Settings (continued) Braking Rate: The user may adjust the braking rate from minimum (slowest deceleration, 0) to maximum (quickest deceleration, 9) using the following procedure: 1. While the centrifuge is idle, press the PROGRAM button. 2. Use the UP/DOWN arrow buttons next to the speed display until “BRAKE” is displayed in the speed display.
  • Page 12: Memory Locations / Storing And Recalling

    Memory Locations / Storing and Recalling The Performance Series centrifuges are capable of storing up to 10 user-defined presets. These memory presets contain all of the settings needed to define a specific run, (run time, speed, acceleration rate, braking rate, etc.). The user can use these memory locations to quickly configure the centrifuge for a specific test type and ensure that the test is run in the same way each time by recalling this same setting.
  • Page 13: Care And Preventative Maintenance

    Care and Preventative Maintenance With proper care and maintenance your Horizon centrifuge will provide years of laboratory service. For proper care, the following steps should be taken: 1. Provide Adequate Ventilation: For cooling purposes, the Horizon draws in ambient air through the air intake cover on the top of the lid and exhausts this air in the rear of the base.
  • Page 14: Troubleshooting
