Interventions and modifications at centrifuges, which have been conducted by persons not authorized by the HETTICH company, are at their own risk and entail the loss off all guarantee and liability claims. In such an event any guarantee claim or liability claim against the HETTICH company expire.
Description of the centrifuge These microprocessor controlled centrifuges mainly consist of the following electrical components: • Control panel, microprocessor controlled • Supply board • Frequency converter with braking chopper (motor control), microprocessor controlled • Motor with speed sensor (speedometer) and imbalance switch •...
• The 5 Volt interface with three wires is transferred to a RS 485 interface with two wires. Interface for the frequency converter: RS 485 interface via two wires • Transmitting the main enable signal (= Hardware STOP) control panel ⇒ frequency converter •...
Special features • Multiprocessor concept: If a processor stops working, the other processor still continue monitoring its area. If there is a control panel failure, the frequency converter automatically switches off the drive if no inquiries are made via the interface for longer than 60 seconds. •...
Imbalance switch • A switch (break contact) detects imbalance. • Imbalance is detected only in running mode (starting, centrifuging and braking). • If imbalance is detected, the drive is brought to a standstill. Safety devices Mains input ⇒ Mains fuses ⇒...
Error messages MAINS RESET • Switch off the mains switch. • Wait for 10 seconds and then switch on the mains switch again.

Description and elimination of errors TACHO - ERROR 01 Error During centrifugation the speedometer pulses are interrupted. Error The rotor slows down until it stops. consequence After the rotor stops, there is a DC braking for 30 sec. An MAINS RESET during slowing-down causes a DC braking for 3 min.
Page 13
IMBALANCE Error Imbalance on motor axle. Error The centrifuge slows down until the “open the lid” release consequence occurs. • Weight difference in rotor components. Cause of error / measurements • Supporting lugs not lubricated. • False IMBALANCE MODE is set (see chapter "Imbalance Mode").
Page 14
N > MAX 05 Error Excess speed. The speed recognised by the speed sensor (speedometer) is 250 RPM greater than the n-max speed of the rotor. Error The centrifuge slows down until the ”open the lid” release consequence occurs. Cause of error •...

VERSION - ERROR 12 Error Differences in the initialization from control panel (EPROM) or frequency converter. Error No further user operation is possible. consequence Cause of error • An incorrect EPROM has been plugged into control panel. • Centrifuge is not initialised. Carry out an initialization, see chapter "Initialization".
Page 16
N > ROTOR-MAX Error Error in the entered program Error Further operation is not possible. consequence Cause of error SET speed or SET RCF is higher than the permissible rotor speed or permissible rotor RCF. Error code reset Carry out a MAINS RESET or open the lid. Reduce the speed or RCF in the entered program to the permissible rotor speed or permissible rotor RCF.

SER I/O - ERROR 34 Error Control panel is not receiving correct data from frequency converter. Error The centrifuge slows down until the ”open the lid” release consequence occurs. • Flat ribbon cable to frequency converter is defective. Cause of error •...

General Notice for FU / CCI - ERROR 61 to FU / CCI - ERROR 69 • Frequency converter switches independently. Error consequence • The rotor freewheels, coasting. • No further user operation is possible. Error code reset • Mains switch is OFF. Switch mains switch to ON after 1 min.

FU / CCI - ERROR 64 Error Voltage in intermediate circuit: >410 V DC at 230 V >205 V DC at 115 V This error normally only occurs when the drive is being braked. Cause of error • Brake resistor is defective. •...
Page 20
FU / CCI - ERROR 84 Error Frequency converter recognises excess speed. During rotation the speedometer pulses (6 per revolution) are controlled by the frequency converter. This control is independ- ent from the control panel. The frequency converter switches the centrifuge off, when the maximum speed of the rotor is exceeded more than 500 rpm.
Settings and interrogations Initialization Initialization means adjusting the frequency converter to the centrifuge. Observe the following instructions when replacing the frequency converter: • The frequency converter must be adjusted to the centrifuge. • The suitable EPROM for the machine version must be plugged in the control panel.
6.1.2 Initializing the centrifuge PROG >RCF< t / min:s IMPULS START STOP PROG An initialization must be carried out: • after replacing the frequency converter. The frequency converter must be adjusted to the centrifuge. 1. Prepare the centrifuge for the initialization (see chapter "Prerequisites for the initialization").
Imbalance Mode From programme version 3.00 it is necessary to set the imbalance mode during the initialization. Depending on the supply board version IMBALANCE MODE 1 or IMBALANCE MODE 2 must be selected. If the incorrect imbalance mode is selected, the display shows error "IMBALANCE"...
Working hours You can check and change the working hours only if the rotor is at standstill. • Keep the key pressed for 8 seconds. After 8 seconds, SOUND / BELL XXX will be displayed. • Press the key again. The working hours (CONTROL: ) of the centrifuge will be displayed.
Setting the display contrast The contrast of the display has been preset by the manufacturer. However, you can readjust it. Use a screwdriver with insulated shank to make this setting as there is a risk of short circuit on the printed circuit board. Use the screwdriver to set the contrast on the trimming potentiometer on the rear side of the control panel (see figure).
See the following table. • Reinsert the fuse holder until the snap-fit clicks shut. • Reconnect the centrifuge to the mains supply. Model Type Fuse Order no. EBA 21 1004, 1004-30 T 3,15 AH/250V E997 EBA 21 1004-01, 1004-31 T 6,3 AH/250V 2266 Functional check after a repair After a repair a functional check of the unit must be carried out.

10 Mounting and removing components Wait at least 2 minutes after disconnecting the centrifuge from the mains, until the intermediate circuit capacitors of the frequency converter are unloaded. All components can be mounted and removed through the centrifuge chamber. For that purpose the centrifuge chamber must be taken out, see chapter "Removing the centrifuge chamber".
11 Short the mains choke coil (L1) In countries, in which the European standard EN 61000-3-2 applies it is not allowed to short the mains choke coil. The mains choke coil reduces the mains input current below the limit values stated in the above mentioned European standard.
