Description
(PROGRAM)
Run-Parameter Keys
1-6
• During setup—when the [
number (one of nine possible) can be entered.
• During centrifugation—the number of the program being run is
displayed.
Run-parameter keys are used to enter specific run information as
follows.
Pressed to display scrolling list of compatible rotors and rotor entry
codes. Can be pressed repeatedly to scroll more quickly through the
rotor list.
If the display shows speed in rpm, the key is pressed once to enter run
speed (using the keypad) in rpm (revolutions per minute); pressed
twice to enter run speed in RCF (relative centrifugal field). If the
display shows speed in RCF, the key is pressed once to enter speed
in RCF or twice to enter speed in rpm.
Pressed to enter run time using the keypad. When [
twice, HOLD mode is selected. (Pressing it again reverts to time-
entry mode.)
• Timed run—Run time up to 99 hours and 59 minutes can be set. If
more than 59 minutes are entered in the minutes field, the system
automatically converts the entry to hours and minutes. Decelera-
tion begins when the set time counts down to zero.
• Continuous run (hold)—For runs of unspecified lengths, hold
mode is used. When 99 hours, 59 minutes is reached, the system
resets to 0 and continues counting. A hold run continues until the
[ ] key is pressed.
STOP
Pressed to enter run temperature (using the keypad), from –10 to
+40°C. If a new temperature is not entered, the centrifuge uses the
temperature set for the previous run.
