Safety information Your GEMMY Table Top Centrifuge has been designed with functions, reliability, and safety in mind. This manual contains important operation and safety information. The users must carefully read and understand the contents of this manual prior to installing your centrifuge in conformance with your local electrical codes.
Intended use: This equipment is to provide a laboratory test within the range of 1000 – 4500 rpm for test tubes containing in vitro diagnostic specimens for qualitative or quantitative test procedures. Refer to the clinic laboratory method specified by the reagent manufacturer or established by medical technology for products applications.
TUBES Round bottom Have a uniform wall thickness and provides a better fit in a rotor than conical bottom tubes. Round tubes withstand higher g-forces. Conical bottom Ideal for cell culturing and ammonium sulfate precipitations. 1. All centrifuges have come with the tube holders, in which a rubber cushion is installed inside the tubes.
Grounding This centrifuge is installed with a 3-pin electric cable. Be sure to well connect the grounding wire to the terminal. WARNING: Do not connect the grounding pin to the following areas: 1. Gas piping or faucet Explosion or fire may occur 2.
HOW TO INSTALL TESTING TUBES The balance of rotor has been well calibrated in house thoroughly before delivery, the user is again requested to install the testing tubes in the correct way carefully prior to spinning this centrifuge as depicted below: 1.
WARNING Do not open the lid only until the rotor has stopped completely. Do not stop the rotor by hand. There is possibility of personal injury. Gemmy will not ensure the responsibility if user violate the above regulation.
Recalibration Procedure for Speed: This centrifuge was initially set by its speed from 1000 – 4500 rpm (or 4000 rpm for PLC-05) in house. Supposed that the min/max speed is varied, the control can be recalibrated as depicted below: Remove the bottom plate, switch power on by turning control knob of timer.
To assure an accurate rpm and its corresponding RCF, do not place this equipment in the draft, sunlight or near a piece of equipment that emits heat as well as Electromagnetic conduction emission. 1. Motor 67W (Average values from 5 random samplings) PLC-01 ~ PLC-03 PLC-04~PLC05 TIMER Speed...
DISASSEMBLY: WARNING For sake of safety, the disassembly must be done the qualified personnel or licensed engineers only. GEMMY will not ensure the responsibility if user violates this regulation. Remove the bottom plate by loosening the set-screw. Loosen the nuts from rubber supports attached to the base to remove the rack of motor ...
MAINTENANCE & SERVICING To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect from power supply prior to maintenance & Servicing. People other than the qualified personnel or licensed engineers are strictly prohibited from maintenance and servicing. Always use a properly grounded electrical outlet of correct voltage and current handling capacity.
Troubleshooting: Problem Possible cause Corrective action Vibration - Rotor imbalance - Place tubes symmetrically - Defective rubber support - Replace new one Erratic speed - Worn out carbon brushes - Replace new ones - Defective triac or VR - Replace parts Failure of - Worn out brushes - Replace carbon brushes...
Direction to Clean: Disconnect from power supply prior to clean. Clean the equipment after every use. Use a moist cleaning cloth to clean the case, rotor and tube holders Dry the equipment thoroughly before operation. Do not immerse this equipment in water.
