JCF-Z Rotor Identification

JCF-Z Rotor Identification
The rotor identification system can, under two specific conditions, misidentify the JCF-Z
continuous flow/zonal rotor. Misidentification has occurred if a rotor name other than JCF-Z
appears in the
misidentified, stop the run and follow one of the steps below.
NOTE
Misidentification can be prevented by returning your JCF-Z rotor to the Beckman Coulter factory to
have magnets added to the rotor body. The magnets ensure correct identification. Call your local
Beckman Coulter Field Service representative
JCF-Z rotors manufactured after March, 1997, have factory-installed magnets.
1
On the first few uses of a new JCF-Z rotor, or in an older JCF-Z rotor with newly replaced bearings, run
the rotor from 0 to 5000 RPM and back to 0 RPM three times.
This procedure will distribute lubricant around the bearings in the rotating seal assembly,
reducing drag.
2
In older JCF-Z rotors with bearings that have not been replaced recently, follow the same procedure
as for a new JCF-Z rotor (perform three runs from 0 to 5000 RPM and back to 0 RPM) to ensure
that the bearings are properly lubricated.
If misidentification recurs after the third run, when the bearings are lubricated, this indicates
that the bearings are worn and need to be replaced.
a. Replace the bearings following the instructions in the JCF-Z manual (JCFZ-IM).
NOTE
If the JCF-Z rotor is misidentified, the run speed will be limited to the maximum speed for the
identified rotor. (The maximum speed for the JCF-Z rotor is 20,000 RPM.)
