3 Safety Explanation of the symbols and notes In this operating manual, the following names and symbols to indicate hazards are used: This symbol stands for a direct hazard to the life and health of persons. Non-observance of these symbols causes serious health problems up to life- endangering injuries.

3 Safety Prior to any start-up, check the centrifuge, rotor, and accessories for signs of damage that can be discerned from the outside. Special attention must be paid to all of the rubber parts (e.g. motor cover, lid seal, and adapters) in terms of visible structural changes.

6 Using the centrifuge When using rotors for microtiter plate formats: Ensure that the plate holders are inserted together with the plates into the buckets. CAUTION The lid screw serves for the fastening of the lid onto the rotor only, not for the fastening of the rotor onto the motor shaft.

6 Using the centrifuge 6.2.2.4 Adapters In order to ensure easy handling, even if vessels of various sizes are used, carrier systems were developed. Load the opposite adapters with the same number of vessels and with the same weights in order to avoid imbalance. If all of the compartments of a carrier are not used, the buckets must be loaded evenly.

6 Using the centrifuge Runtime The set runtime is displayed in the upper section of this field, with the remaining runtime shown below. The runtime is defined as the period from the start of the centrifuge to the beginning of the deceleration phase. The maximum value is 99 h 59 min 59 sec.
Page 35
6 Using the centrifuge Rotor: rotor selection list This field shows the rotor that is currently being used. Select the field "Rotor" and confirm the selection. A list with all of the possible rotors without buckets is displayed. Select the desired rotor. If an angle rotor is selected, additional information concerning this rotor will be displayed.
Page 36
6 Using the centrifuge Acceleration This function is used to select an acceleration curve. One can select a linear rise (curves 0-9) or a quadratic rise (curves 10-19). The acceleration curves 20-29 can be programmed as desired (see chapter 11.3 - "Acceleration and deceleration curves").
Page 37
6 Using the centrifuge Fig. 15: Program "RAPID_TEMP" The program will only be loaded if the actual temperature is above the set temperature. NOTE Press the start button in order to start the rapid cooling run. During the rapid cooling run, the set temperature can be modified within the range below the actual temperature.
Page 38
6 Using the centrifuge Progress indicator The progress indicator provides a quick overview of the remaining runtime of the running centrifugation run. For this purpose, a green progress bar and percentage value are displayed in the program field. Fig. 16: Progress indicator during a centrifugation run After the completion of the centrifugation run, the progress indicator remains at 100% until the lid is opened,...

6 Using the centrifuge Density This setting is useful for glass vessels. If the density of the liquid to be centrifuged is higher than 1.2 g/cm , the value must be adapted manually in order to prevent the glass vessel from breaking. This will reduce the maximum possible final speed (see chapter 2.2.2.2 - "Density").
Page 42
6 Using the centrifuge Temperature monitoring The control system includes a temperature monitoring function. If the actual temperature difference with regard to the set value deviates from the set temperature difference, the centrifuge will stop and an error message will be issued.
Page 43
6 Using the centrifuge Lock In order to prevent any unauthorised use of the centrifuge, the following functions can be blocked: Saving of programs (level 01) Changing of parameters, short run (level 02) Loading of programs (level 03) Start button (level 04) Blocking a function Select the function that is to be blocked.

6 Using the centrifuge Start delay If the start delay function is active, the centrifuge will not start until the preset time has elapsed. The symbol "" will be displayed in the runtime field. Display deceleration time In the activated mode, the deceleration time will be displayed instead of the runtime during and after the deceleration process.
