The Hermle Z 233 M-2 is neither explosion proof nor inert gas shielded and should, therefore, never be operated in explosive-hazardous locations. Never stay in the safety zone of 30 cm around the centrifuge or deposit dangerous materials inside this zone during centrifugation.
- The rotor is not installed securely on the motor shaft. - Rotors or accessories will be used which are not authorized for this unit by Hermle or Labnet. Exception: Commercially available tubes or bottles made of glass or plastic.

On the digital display for "speed rpm / rcf g x 10" the number code for the set rotor type appears. On the digital display "time min-sec" the letters "ro" ( rotor ) appears. Turn the speed knob (1), (see figure 4) till the required rotor code appears on the d i s p l a y .

4 . 4 Preselection of speed / RCF When the centrifuge lid is open, you can preset the required speed or rcf with the speed knob ( 1 ) . With the "speed/rcf" key (2) you can change the display from speed to g-value. The green control lamps (3) show which mode is activated.
4 . 5 Preselection of operating time You can adjust the desired operating time between 1 and 60 minutes or hold. With the centrifuge lid open you can preset the operating time with the knob ( 3 ) . During a run and with the centrifuge lid closed you have to press the "preset" key (1), hold it and change operating time by turning the knob (3).
4 . 6 Preselection of brake intensity and acceleration With the "fast/slow" key (1) you have the choice between two steps of brake and acceleration intensity. Figure 8 If the green "fast" control lamp is lit, the unit accelerates and decelerates fast. If the green "slow"control lamp is lit, the unit accelerates and decelerates very softly below 2 000 rpm.

Temperature Features Temperature Features Temperature Features Temperature Features Temperature Features 5 . 1 Temperature During centrifugation, heat is generated by air friction between the rapidly spinning rotor and the air inside the rotor chamber. The temperature rise depends on the rotor ( swing-out or angle rotor ),bucket type, ambient temperature, running time and the speed of the rotor.
7 . 1 Service and inspection of centrifuge Centrifuge service and inspection should be done regularly and only by authorized Use only original spare parts! Use only original spare parts! and qualified personnel. Use only original spare parts! Use only original spare parts! Use only original spare parts! 7 .
7 . 3 Cleaning of centrifuge after breakage of glass tubes/glass bottles With high g-values, there is a possibility that tube breakage will occur. Should this happen, the centrifuge, rotor, buckets, adapters and the rotor chamber must be thoroughly cleaned and all broken particles removed immediately. If this is not done, they could scratch the protective coating of the rotor.
8 . 2 Check list / Trouble shooting The error message will be indicated by an error number on the digital speed d i s p l a y ( s e e f i g u r e 1 1 ) . There is a distinction between two different kinds of errors.
