Description of the centrifuge This microprocessor controlled centrifuge mainly consists of the following components: • Control panel (A2) • Electronics (A1) • Motor (M1) with speed sensor (B1) • Lid lock system (A4) • Imbalance switch (S1) All electronic components are on mains, due to the DC-coupling. Control panel (A2) The control panel (A2) have only restricted control tasks, it disposes of the following characteristics:...
Electronics (A1) The electronics (A1) is a combination of: • Control panel • Voltage supply • Frequency converter The electronics (A1) carries out the following tasks: • Power supply 15 V, DC for imbalance switch (S1) and speed sensor (B1) •...
Lid lock (A4) • The lid can be opened only if the electronics (A1) has detected rotor standstill. • After pressing the key the magnet at the lid lock is energized for a short time OPEN and the lid opens. •...
Error messages The error messages will be indicated in the speed display of the control panel. e.g. : PULSE START RPM x 100 OPEN STOP Perform a MAINS RESET • Switch off the mains switch (switch position "0"). • Wait at least 10 seconds and then switch on the mains switch again (switch position "Ι").
Description and elimination of errors – 1 – Tacho error Speedometer pulses break down during the centrifugation run. The rotor slows down without braking until it stops. No further user operation possible. • Reset error code: Wait 2 minutes until the safety time is passed and the rotation indicator has stopped to turn.

The lid can not be opened The lid can not be opened. With the closed lid the symbol " " (lid open) illuminates in the rotation indicator . • Open the lid by using the emergency release. • Microswitch at the lid lock (A4) is defective or has loose contact on plug.
Control panels supplied as spare part are not yet set to machine version C (EBA 270). It is important to set the machine version C. The machine version C (EBA 270) must be set as follows: 1. Set the machine version C by using the...
Enquiry the programme versions 1. Switch off the mains switch. 2. Keep the key beneath the speed indicator and the key pressed PULSE simultaneously. 3. Switch on the mains switch and release the keys again. 4. Press the key beneath the speed indicator so often until the programme version of the control panel (e.g.
Imbalance switch-off The imbalance switch-off is specified by the indication of the difference in weight of opposite rotor positions. When having a difference in weight within the range of 4 g to 6 g during run-up, the drive has to switch off before reaching a speed of 2000 RPM. The imbalance switch-off is adjusted by changing the distance of the imbalance switch.
Functional check after a repair After a repair a functional check of the unit must be carried out. For functional check a test run with the loaded rotor must be performed. During the test run the followings must be checked: •...
