Page 10: Operation
CLEMENTS Operation Rotor Fitting 1. Open lid and switch off centrifuge. 2. Remove carriers from rotor. 3. While supporting rotor with one hand, unscrew (CCW) rotor- retaining cap screw. 4. Lift off rotor being careful not to bend or apply side load to motor shaft. - Page 11 Note: Even though the Orbital 360 is designed to absorb considerable out-of-balance forces, running the centrifuge with out-of-balance samples will cause excessive vibration. This will disturb the samples, affect the overall performance of the unit and may lead to mechanical damage.

Page 12: Parameter Setting Menu
CLEMENTS Parameter Setting Menu Press M to select parameter setting mode. Each press of the M button advances to the next parameter. Press E to save the parameters and exit the parameter setting NTER mode. Parameter setting mode is automatically cancelled after a 5 second timeout with no button pressed. - Page 13 CLEMENTS Set Speed 1. Press M button until speed field is highlighted. 2. Press I or D to select required speed. Note that speed changes in steps of 100rpm and will auto-increment or auto-decrement if the I or D button is held down.
- Page 14 CLEMENTS User Programs There are 15 user programs available that each store a complete set of parameters (i.e. speed, time, acceleration, deceleration and rotor) for a particular centrifugation process. User programs are viewed or selected in program mode which is accessed via the P button.
- Page 15 CLEMENTS Warning Rotor selected must match rotor fitted. Pay particular attention to ensuring that the rotor set in the user program selected matches the actual rotor fitted. Otherwise the rotor could be subject to speeds in excess of its rating leading to damage to the rotor.
