6-16HS 6 Using the centrifuge Once a day or after 20 cycles, the rotor tie-down screw must be loosened by some turns, and the rotor must be lifted and fastened again. This ensures a proper connection between the rotor and the motor shaft.

The standard menu is displayed a few seconds after the centrifuge has been switched on. The following parameters can be displayed and modified. As a default setting of the 6-16HS, the petroleum program "ASTM oil" is stored in the system (see the "program selection list" in this chapter). NOTE Fig.
Page 34
6-16HS 6 Using the centrifuge Runtime The set runtime is displayed in the upper section of this field, with the remaining runtime shown below. The runtime is defined as the period from the start of the centrifuge to the beginning of the deceleration phase. The maximum value is 99 h 59 min 59 sec.

6-16HS 6 Using the centrifuge corresponding RCF value. The deceleration (brake) and acceleration curves correspond to curve 9 and the runtime field indicates “infinite” (continuous run). Fig. 15: "RAPID_TEMP" program The program will only be loaded if the actual temperature is below the set temperature.
6-16HS 6 Using the centrifuge The delta T temperature monitoring system (see chapter (see chapter 6.3.2.6 - "Parameters menu"), Process) remains inactive as long as the "RAPID_TEMP" program is active. NOTE If the "RAPID_TEMP" program is used, the temperature of the unloaded aluminium bucket will be displayed.
Page 39
6-16HS 6 Using the centrifuge If the standstill heating is activated, the centrifuge starts to preheat after it is switched on. In the runtime field, the symbol " " is displayed. The lid must be closed. The centrifuge is equipped with the "RAPID_TEMP" program. This program is used to precool the rotor chamber quickly under defined conditions (see chapter 6.3.2.5 - "Standard menu", Program list).
Page 40
6-16HS 6 Using the centrifuge Temperature monitoring The control system includes a temperature monitoring function. If the set temperature difference with regard to the set value deviates from the actual temperature difference, this function will stop the centrifuge and issue an error message.
6-16HS 6 Using the centrifuge If changes are made to a blocked function, the system will ask for the code prior to executing the change. Unblocking a function • Select the button "Deactivate code". • Enter the code and confirm the entry.

6-16HS 6 Using the centrifuge Invert If this function is activated, the display switches from the standard setting with a bright background and dark writing to a dark background with bright writing. System Cycles This field shows the number of cycles as well as the runtime of the rotor and buckets that are currently being used.
