18. When it is necessary to use toxic or radioactive materials or pathogenic micro-organisms which belong to the Risk Group II of WHO: “Laboratory Bio- safety Manual,” should follow national regulations. Do not place dangerous materials within 30cm distance around the instrument, and that is also recommended by IEC 61010-2-020.
2. Product Description & Technical Specifications 2-1. Product Description Power supply Emergency Door open Velocity 13μ includes Fixed Angle rotor FA13A and 12 of 0.2ml & 0.5ml adaptors. The PCR tube rotor is optional.
3. Installation 3-1. Power On/off and Door Release 3-1-1. Power On/off Action 1. Connect the AC Power cord at the power socket on the back of the instrument. 2. Turn on the instrument by pressing a switch on the back of the instrument.
Place the Rotor Locking Nut at the center hole of the rotor. To assemble the rotor: Rotate the Rotor Locking Nut clockwise until tightly assembled. To disassemble the rotor: Rotate the Rotor Locking Nut counterclockwise After loading sample tubes, close the rotor lid until hearing clank shut. When you open the lid, lift the nut.

Correct Ways of Sample Balancing & Tube usage ☞ If the number of samples is not in pair, please load the control tubes at each symmetrical position. Otherwise, it results noise and vibration, which eventually damages the instrument.
4. Operation 4-1. Key Functions of Control Panel Display window Shows speed, time, status of running and the status of door opening or closing. RPM/RCF Modes are displayed as rpm and rcf. While running, is flickering. appears when the Door is opened and appears when the Door is closed.
4-2. Setting RPM/RCF ▶ Maximum RPM/RCF: 13,500 RPM/ 12,300 x g ▶ Display value: multiply 1,000 to check real value. (Example: RPM Display value 13.5 indicates RPM 13,500) Action Setting RPM Press the [RPM/RCF] button once. RPM MODE is generated by pressing a [RPM/RCF] button once.
▶ Time setting unit: 1min. Action 1. Press the [TIME] button once. ‘min’ on LED is flickering. ▲▼ 2. Press the [ ] buttons to change input value. After 5 seconds from pressing the input value, the setting value is saved. ▲▼...
“Emergency Door Open” hole and pull the spikes at the opposite direction of the arrow. Manual opening should be performed only when spinning is completely stopped. Otherwise, harmful damage will be accompanied to not only operators but samples. After opening the door manually, it is recommended to wait until normal electricity comes back.
5-5. Transportation of the instrument 1. If you need to move or ship the instrument, be cautious to protect the motor shaft from any physical impact or turbulence. 2. Do not mount a rotor in any cases of movement. Fill inside the chamber with proper materials to keep the motor shaft on place and not to be influenced by physical pressure.
Check balances of samples in the rotor. (Please refer to 3-3. Positioning of Sample Tubes) and load the same weight of samples symmetrically. 6-2. Error code If the instrument shows the error code with beeping sound, press ‘STOP’ button to stop the beeping sound and press ‘Enter’...
