SETTING ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION RATES

Table 3-1. Acceleration and Deceleration Rates (in Minutes:Seconds) to and from Maximum Speed.
Times shown are for the rotor's maximum speed with the rotor fully loaded. (Times are approximate;
actual times will vary depending on the rotor load, run speed, and voltage fluctuations.)

You can select one of nine acceleration and nine deceleration rates
that will maintain optimum separation of delicate samples. Select
rates depending on the type of run you are performing—for pelleting
runs, where sample mixing is not a concern, maximum brake can be
used. If running delicate gradients, a lower brake setting may be
needed. Acceleration and deceleration rates are listed in Table 3-1.
