4-4
If facility power fails only momentarily, the instrument will resume
operation when power is restored and the rotor will return to set
speed. However, if the rotor came to a complete stop, you will have to
restart the run when the power is restored. In either case, the PWR
message will flash on the control panel to indicate that a power out-
age has occurred.
!
WARNING
Any maintenance procedure requiring
removal of a panel exposes the operator to the
possibility of electrical shock and/or mechani-
cal injury. Therefore, turn the power OFF
and disconnect the instrument from the main
power source, and refer such maintenance to
service personnel.
In the event of an extended power failure, it may be necessary to trip
the door-locking mechanism manually to remove the rotor and
retrieve your sample.
!
WARNING
The following procedure should be imple-
mented only when absolutely necessary and
only by qualified service personnel.
Result
No lights on the control panel are lit.
