Name Rating Plate
The name rating plate is affixed to the right side of the centrifuge. Check that the line voltage agrees
with the voltage listed on this name rating plate before connecting the centrifuge. Always mention
the serial number and the model number shown when corresponding with Beckman Coulter
regarding your centrifuge.
Specifications
Only values with tolerances or limits are guaranteed data. Values without tolerances are informative data,
without guarantee.
Ambient temperature range 5 to 40°C
Humidity restrictions <80% (noncondensing)

• In input mode the RPM/RCF/ROTOR display shows the value of the parameter
being set, depending on the programming key pressed (RPM, RCF, or ROTOR).
For example, if the ROTOR programming key is pressed, the rotor number
appears on the RPM/RCF/ROTOR display.
• During centrifugation, the RPM/RCF/ROTOR display shows the speed of the rotor
in RPM. If the RCF key is pressed while the centrifuge is running, the RCF value
is displayed.
• During a timed run (between 1 minute and 9 hours, 59 minutes), the TIME
display begins counting down when the rotor starts to spin and continues the
countdown until deceleration begins. The TIME display indicates the remaining
run time in hours and minutes.
• During a continuous run (less than 1 minute or more than 9 hours, 59 minutes
selected), countdown time is not displayed. Instead, the infinity () symbol,
indicating continuous operation, lights up and the TIME display shows time
elapsed since the run start. After 9 hours and 59 minutes the timer resets to 0
and continues counting elapsed time.
The ACCEL/DECEL display shows the acceleration profile that was selected for the
run. The deceleration profile number can be displayed by pressing the DECEL key.
