Description of the centrifuge The EBA 20 / EBA 20 C is a microprocessor-controlled centrifuge which is comprised of the following electrical components: • Control panel • Power board • Motor with speed sensor (speedometer) • Lid lock system • Imbalance switch (only with EBA 20 C)
• Monitoring of the motor current. • Braking of the motor with brake resistor • Plugging station of the imbalance switch (only with EBA 20 C) • Evaluation of the imbalance switch (only with EBA 20 C) • Plugging station of the lid lock •...
(open/closed) and report it to the power board. Imbalance switch S2 (only with EBA 20 C) • A microswitch (break contact) detects any imbalance. • Imbalance can only be detected in running mode (starting, centrifuging and braking).
Error messages The error message will be indicated in the speed display of the front panel e.g. : START RPM x 100 STOP MAINS RESET • Switch off the mains switch. • Wait at least for 10 seconds and then switch on the mains switch again. Brief description Display.
• Weight difference in rotor components. • Imbalance switch is defective or not connected. • Imbalance switch is disadjusted (Adjustment see section "Imbalance switch-off (only with EBA 20 C)"). • Loose contact in cable or plug ST6. • Power board (A1) is defective.

Control panels supplied as spare part are set to machine version 4 (ROTOFIX 32). After installing the control panel the EBA 20 must be set to machine version 1 and the EBA 20 C to machine version 5. If another machine version than 1 or 5 is set in the control panel, the set machine version will appear in the display after switching on the centrifuge.
EBA 20: START START RPM x 100 RPM x 100 STOP STOP EBA 20 C: START START RPM x 100 RPM x 100 STOP STOP If the machine version and brake step are not displayed, press the key under the speed indicator until they are displayed.
EBA 20: START START RPM x 100 RPM x 100 STOP STOP EBA 20 C: START START RPM x 100 RPM x 100 STOP STOP 4. Press the key beneath the speed indicator so often until the programme version of the control panel (e.g.
EBA 20: START START RPM x 100 RPM x 100 STOP STOP EBA 20 C: START START RPM x 100 RPM x 100 STOP STOP If the machine version and brake step are not displayed, press the key under the speed indicator until they are displayed.
Locking of the key and locking of the input of the speed, time and brake step is only possible with machines with machine version 5 (EBA 20 C) and a programme version of the control panel from b1.40. The activation and deactivation of the lock is only possible if the rotor is at standstill.
Imbalance switch-off (only with EBA 20 C) The permissible imbalance is specified for rotor E1824 by the indication of the difference in weight of opposite rotor positions. When having a difference in weight within the range of 6g to 12g during run-up, the drive has to switch off before reaching 1500 RPM.
