  • Page 9: Warning And Information Signs

    EN 61010-2-020. • The HERMLE Z 326, is "non-explosion proof" and must not be operated in explosion- endangered areas or locations. Centrifugation of flammable, explosive, radioactive, or such substances, which chemically react with high energy, is strictly prohibited. If used in such environment, this is at the users own expense.

  • Page 10: Following Rules Must Strictly Be Adhered To

    Do not run the centrifuge, if mechanical or electrical assembly groups have been tampered with, by unauthorized personnel. • Do not use accessories such as rotors and buckets, that are not approved by HERMLE Labortechnik GmbH, except commercially available centrifuge tubes, made of glass or plastic.

  • Page 11: Installation Of The Centrifuge

    1.7 Installation of the Centrifuge 1.7.1 Unpacking the Centrifuge Model Z 326 is supplied in a carton. Remove the strap retainer, open the carton, and remove the centrifuge. The instruction manual must be kept with the centrifuge, at all times! 1.7.2 Space Requirements...

  • Page 12: Basic Adjustments

    All changed settings must be confirmed by the key, "start" (9). A confirmation screen will appear with the word; "store" in the display box, "rpm/rcf"(A-1) - Only then, the pre-selections are valid, (see Figure 3). Figure 3 Z326_V2.16 © Hermle Labortechnik GmbH...

    (1). The respective error codes appear in the display, "rpm/rcf" (A- 1). Please refer to Table 5: "Error Messages“, (see APPENDIX P.IX). Switch off the centrifuge, to return to the normal program mode. Figure 8 Z326_V2.16 © Hermle Labortechnik GmbH...

  • Page 16: Operation

    Each rotor indicates what the maximum capacity is per hole. (It is allowed to operate e.g. a 12-place- rotor with 2 or 4 loaded tubes only, but the loaded borings must be opposite of each other). Z326_V2.16 © Hermle Labortechnik GmbH...

  • Page 17: Loading Swing Out Rotors

    The bolts of the rotor must be greased with the HERMLE Rotorgrease (Order No. 38-5656). The sample tubes have to be filled evenly, by eye, and set into the drillings or tube racks. The weight difference of the loaded buckets should not exceed 1.0 g.

  • Page 18: Loading And Overloading Of Rotors

    In case of any questions, please contact the manufacturer! 2.1.5 Removing the Rotor Completely, untighten the rotor fixing nut (2. screw over the stiff point) and lift the rotor vertically out of the centrifuge, (see Figures 9 and 10). Z326_V2.16 © Hermle Labortechnik GmbH...

  • Page 22: Radius Correction

    If a program number is already occupied, in the display "rpm/rcf" (A-1), the words "rotor" (M3) and "22x.xx" (M4) will appear, (see Figure 21). Free program numbers will appear as 0. Figure 21 Z326_V2.16 © Hermle Labortechnik GmbH...

  • Page 23: Recall Of Stored Programs

    "rpm/rcf" (A-1) flashes the word "rotor" (M3). At the same time, the word "FALSE" and the stored rotor number "22x. xx“"(M4) flash in sequence of one another. For all number marked text, please refer to Figure 24. Figure 24 Z326_V2.16 © Hermle Labortechnik GmbH...

  • Page 24: Leaving Program Mode

    With the "stop" key (10), the run time can be interrupted, at any time, (see Figure 26). After pressing the key, the centrifuge decelerates with the respective pre-selected intensity, down to a standstill. Figure 26 Z326_V2.16 © Hermle Labortechnik GmbH...
