4-Product assembling Note: Please start the microcentrifuge 4 hours after its assembling. 1) Unpack first and take out fittings. Note: Take out the main body of the microcentrifuge under the cooperation of two persons by placing both hands under the microcentrifuge and carry it out together.
5- Operation instruction Operating procedures: 1) Firstly set various parameters such as target centrifugal speed, time of centrifugation, acceleration mode, ATset mode and target temperature as needed or directly call preset program before start of experiments. 2) Turn on precooling. 3) After the microcentrifuge reaches the set temperature, loosen the microcentrifuge lid, put in the microcentrifuge tubes and start centrifugation.

rotor accelerates and decelerates quickly. ATset mode: indicates the time when centrifugation timing starts. indicates that centrifugation timing starts when operation starts; Status icon indicates centrifugation timing restarts when 95% of the set relative centrifugal force or speed is reached. indicates that the highest rotor speed is the target speed during short run;...
Save button. Click to enter [Save Program] page. Click once to start [Quick Precooling] and click again to end [Quick Precooling] or wait for the rotor cavity temperature to reach target temperature to automatically end quick precooling. Parameter lock button. Start/cancel parameter lock function.
Fig. 5-3 After rotor selection is completed, select mode of [Short], which means to select [Set] or [Max] for short run after click “Short” to start short run. Be unable to select rotor during centrifuging. 5.3 Setup Click to enter the previous or next page in the system setup interface and click to enable other system functions, such as Sleep, Sound, auto Auto-open or continuous cooling or click to switch between Chinese and English in the system language tab.
Fig. 5-5 5.3.1 Continuous cooling When select [Continuous Cooling], the rotor cavity temperature can be kept at set temperature if the following four preconditions are met when the rotor stops moving. 1) The microcentrifuge is started. 2) The microcentrifuge lid is closed. 3) The set temperature is lower than ambient temperature.
Fig. 5-6 Click to adjust precooling temperature. When the set precooling temperature is reached, the cooling stops and the system gives off intermittent prompt tone to inform operators that the precooling is completed. Click / [START/STOP] button to stop precooling early. 5.5 Placement of microcentrifuge tube Vertically remove the rotor, loosen the rotor cover, put in the microcentrifuge tube, restore the rotor to its original position vertically and tighten the rotor nuts...
Fig. 5-7 Click parameter value to pop out a numeric keypad for entering a value within the range prompted in the interface. Here also to set ATset mode and to select the acceleration mode of Soft or NonSoft. Preset time and continuous run modes are identical in above parameter setup, except that for continuous run, ∞...

7-Troubleshooting Problem Possible cause Solution The rotor hasn’t stopped rotating. 1) Wait for the rotor to stop. The lid cannot be opened. Check the microcentrifuge fuse. Power failure Check the fuse of the lab. Press emergency unlock of the lid The lid is not Unable to start the Close the lid...
8-Maintenance 8.1 Considerations 1) Don’t let any liquid enter the equipment in order to prevent electric shock. 2) It is prohibited to spray to clean/disinfect on the casing. 3) The power can only be turned on when interior and exterior of the equipment are completely dry.
5) Brush away dust at ventilation opening of the microcentrifuge once every half a year. 6) Glass tubes may be broken inside the rotor cavity when used. If glass tubes breaks, please completely clean glass pieces and chips on the rotor, the rotor cavity and its fittings, and replace the sealing ring with a new one.
It is recommended that the maintenance process should be recorded and kept after maintenance, including time, location, maintenance procedures, etc. for future reference. 8.6 Parts and materials If you find that some parts or materials should be replaced during maintenance, please contact RWD for after-sales support.
