    (see figure 3). The first two numbers indicate the appeared errors ongoing from 00 to 99, the last two numbers indicate the error code. Please look up in "table 5: error messages" (See APPENDIX VI). Switch off the centrifuge, to change back to the normal program mode. Figure 3 © Hermle Labortechnik GmbH Z206A_V1.18_eng...
  • Page 14: Operation

    Do not operate the centrifuge with rotors or buckets, that show any signs of corrosion or mechanical damage. Do not operate with extremely corrosive substances, that could damage the rotor, buckets and materials. In case of any questions, please contact the manufacturer!

    (see Figure 12). ATTENTION Before closing the lid, please check if the rotor is tightened, and all 6 buckets are inside the swing out rotor. © Hermle Labortechnik GmbH Z206A_V1.18_eng...
  • Page 18: Pre-Selection

    The pre-selection, of the RCF-value, is the same value. The setting range is between 20 xg and the maximum permissible centrifugal force, of the rotor. The maximum speed of the Z 206 A is 6,000 rpm resp. 4,427 xg. Please refer to: "Table 3: Max. Speed and RCF", (See APPENDIX V). This table shows the approved rotors with their max.
  • Page 19: Pre-Selection Of Running Time

    9 is equivalent to the shortest possible brake time and the value 0 to longest possible brake time. See Table 5: "Acceleration and Deceleration Times", (See APPENDIX V). This table shows the acceleration and deceleration times, for the acceleration and deceleration stages 0 to 9, for each rotor. © Hermle Labortechnik GmbH Z206A_V1.18_eng...
  • Page 20: Starting And Stopping The Centrifuge

    When the respective pre-selected running time has ended, the centrifuge will stop automatically or the run can be interrupted, with the “stop” (10) key. For all number marked text, please refer to Figure 16. Figure 16 Z206A_V1.18_eng © Hermle Labortechnik GmbH...
  • Page 21: The "Stop" Key

    Load the rotor as described in: Chapters 2.1.2 and 2.1.3. When in the display, “time” (A-3), the word “error” (M11) along with the number “02“ (see Figure 18) may appear, for the following reason: *The imbalance sensor is defective. Figure 18 © Hermle Labortechnik GmbH Z206A_V1.18_eng...

    "TÜV Nord CERT GmbH, Certification Body Consumer Products, Essen (Germany)", in accordance with Annex AA of IEC 61010-2-020. The certificates can be downloaded on our webpage, www.hermle-labortechnik.de. Aerosol-tight rotors and buckets are marked with the label, "aerosol- tight". ATTENTION: Autoclaving, mechanical stresses and contamination, by chemicals or other aggressive solvents, can impair the aerosol-tightness of the rotors and buckets.
  • Page 23: Cleaning And Disinfecting Of The Unit

    ATTENTION: The sterilization time of 20 min. must not be exceeded. Continuous sterilization will cause reduction in the mechanical resistance, of the plastic material. Before autoclaving the PP-rotor and adapter, thoroughly clean to avoid the burning of dirty residues. © Hermle Labortechnik GmbH Z206A_V1.18_eng...
  • Page 24: Glass Breakage

    Transparent rotor lids and caps, made of PC or PP, as well as rotors, tube racks and adapters of PP, have a maximum operating time of up to 3 years, from first time use. Conditions For the Operating Time: Proper use, damage-free condition, recommended care. Z206A_V1.18_eng © Hermle Labortechnik GmbH...
