NOTE
Line voltage fluctuations can cause variations in acceleration and deceleration times. The times listed
in Table 6
230 volts for 50-Hz instruments.
NOTE
Do not use high brake when Micro Plus plate carriers are run, as the force of the deceleration will
disturb the contents of the plate. Set the centrifuge brake switch to either LOW or OFF to coast to a stop.
