In particular, these include samples for preparation of in-vitro diagnostic purposes in human medicine. The centrifuge is only meant for this purpose. Another use or one which goes beyond this, is considered to be non-intended. The company Andreas Hettich GmbH & Co. KG is not liable for damage resulting from this.

The centrifuge may no longer be put into operation when the centrifuging chamber has safety- related damages. With swing-out rotors the trunnions must be regularly lubricated (Hettich Lubricating Grease No. 4051) in order to ensure consistent swinging out of the hangers. ...
Repairs must only be carried out by personnel authorised to do so by the manufacturer. Only original spare parts and original accessories licensed by the Andreas Hettich GmbH & Co. KG company are allowed to be utilised.
Symbol in this document: Attention, general hazard area. This symbol refers to safety relevant warnings and indicates possibly dangerous situations. The non-adherence to these warnings can lead to material damage and injury to personal. Symbol on the device and in this document: Beware of biohazard.
Initial operation Remove the transportation safety device from the bottom of the housing, see sheet ”Transportation safety device" Position the centrifuge in a stable and level manner in a suitable place. During set-up, the required safety margin of 300 mm around the centrifuge is to be kept according to EN / IEC 61010-2-020. When the centrifuge is running, according to EN / IEC 61010-2-020, no persons, dangerous substances or objects may be within the safety margin of 300 mm around the centrifuge.
Installation and removal of the rotor 11.1 Rotor with clamping nut Rotor installation: Dirt particles between the motor shaft and rotor prevent the rotor from having a perfect seat and cause it to run unsteadily. Clean the motor shaft (C) and the bore of the rotor (A) and then apply a thin coat of grease to the motor shaft.
Check the rotor to make sure it is seated firmly. Grease the lifting lug (C) (Hettich lubricating grease, no. 4051). Insert hangers (A) into the rotor. While doing so, make sure that the lifting lugs (C) are in the grooves (B) of the hangers.
Loading the rotor Standard centrifuge containers of glass will not stand RCF values exceeding 4000 (DIN 58970, pg. 2). Check the rotor for firm seating. With swing-out rotors all rotor positions must be lined with identical hangers. Certain hangers are marked with the number of the rotor position.
The maximum filling quantity for the centrifuge containers specified by the manufacturer must not be exceeded. In the case of angle rotors, the centrifuging Fluid vessels may only be filled so far that no fluid can be expelled from them while the centrifuge is running.
16.1.2 Lid with screw closure Closing the lid: Place the lid on the hanger. Tightly seal the lid by hand by turning it clockwise. Opening the lid: Turn the lid by hand counterclockwise until the lid can be removed from the hanger. 16.1.3 Lid with clamp and tension lock open...
17.1 Control knob For setting the individual parameters. Turning anticlockwise reduces the value. Turning clockwise increases the value. 17.2 Control panel pushbuttons (keys) Selection control key for selection of specific parameter. SELECT The subsequent parameter is selected by every further keystroke. ...
Entering centrifugation parameter If no key is pressed for 8 seconds long after the selection or during the input of parameters, the previous values will be shown in the display. The input of parameter then has to be executed again. ...
20.1 Centrifugation with pre-set time Adjusting time or recall a programme with pre-set time (see Chapter "Programming"). Press the key . The LED in the button lights up for as long as the rotor turns. START / IMPULS START / IMPULS ...
Cooling (only in centrifuges with cooling) The temperature set-point can be adjusted from -20°C to +40°C. The lowest obtainable temperature is dependent on the rotor (see Chapter "Anhang/Appendix, Rotoren und Zubehör/Rotors and accessories"). 24.1 Standby-cooling With rotor standstill and closed lid the centrifugal chamber is cooled to the pre-selected temperature. The temperature set-point is shown in the display.
Centrifugation of materials or mixtures of materials with a density higher than 1.2 kg/dm When centrifuging with maxim revolutions per minute the density of the materials or the material mixtures may not exceed 1.2 kg/dm The speed must be reduced for materials or mixtures of materials with a higher density. The permissible speed can be calculated using the following formula: Reduced speed...
Maintenance and servicing The device can be contaminated. Pull the mains plug before cleaning. Before any other cleaning or decontamination process other than that recommended by the manufacturer is applied, the user has to check with the manufacturer that the planned process does not damage the device. ...
29.2 Rotors and Attachments 29.2.1 Cleaning and care In order to avoid corrosion and changes in materials, the rotors and accessories have to be cleaned regularly with soap or with a mild cleaning agent and a moist cloth. Cleaning is recommended at least once a week. Contaminants must be removed immediately.
29.2.4 Trunnions With swing-out rotors the trunnions must be regularly lubricated (Hettich Lubricating Grease No. 4051) in order to ensure consistent swinging out of the hangers. 29.2.5 Rotors and accessories with limited service lives The use of certain rotors, hangers and accessory parts is limited by time.
Faults If the fault cannot be eliminated with the help of the fault table, please inform Customer Service. Please specify the type of centrifuge and the serial number. Both numbers can be found on the name plate of the centrifuge. Perform a MAINS RESET: ...
Before returning the device, a transport securing device has to be installed. If the device or its accessories are returned to Andreas Hettich GmbH & Co. KG, in order to provide protection for people, the environment and materials, it has to be decontaminated and cleaned before being shipped.
