The preselected total runtime is displayed in the lower line of the
display. During centrifugation, the remaining runtime is displayed. The
runtime of the centrifuge can be set at one-second-intervals up to
99 minutes and 59 seconds.
•
To select a runtime, press the "set" key repeatedly until the time
unit flashes on the display.
•
Select the desired runtime by pressing the arrow keys.
•
Confirm the selection by pressing the start key.
The data will also be accepted and saved after approx. 20 seconds if
no other key is pressed within this time period.
The preselected runtime can be changed during centrifugation.
•
Press the "Set" key repeatedly until the time unit flashes on the
display.
•
Change the desired runtime by pressing the arrow keys. The
parameters will be accepted immediately.
If the centrifugation time is changed during the run, the centrifuge will
run for the entire new time and will disregard the previous runtime that
has already elapsed.
During the short run, the centrifuge accelerates at maximum power
until the maximum speed is reached.
•
Keep the start key pressed during the short run.
The message "short run" and the duration of the short run is
displayed. When the start key is released, the centrifuge decelerates
at maximum power to a standstill.
After the short run, the lid unlocks automatically and the program that
was set beforehand is displayed again.
During the continuous run, the runtime of the centrifuge is unlimited
and must be stopped manually. The centrifuge accelerates during the
continuous run until the set speed is reached.
•
To start the continuous run, press the "set" key until the time unit
flashes on the display.
•
Press the down-key (arrow key) until the display switches from
"00:10" to "--:--".
After 99 min 59 sec, any additional runtime will no longer be
displayed, but the centrifugation will continue.
•
To stop a continuous run, press the start/stop key. The
centrifugation will end.
•
Enter a runtime. The centrifugation will end after this time.
