  • Page 6: Use According To Specification

    Intended use also includes observing all instructions in the Operating Manual and compliance with the required inspection and maintenance work. Any other use or use beyond this is considered improper. Andreas Hettich GmbH & Co. KG shall not be liable for any damage arising from this.

  • Page 7: Notes On Safety

    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.
  • Page 8 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.

  • Page 9: Symbol Meanings

    Symbol meanings Symbol on the device: Attention, general hazard area. Symbol on the device: Observe operating instructions. This symbol indicates that the user must observe the operating instructions provided. 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.

    Delivery checklist The following items and accessories are delivered with the centrifuge: Connecting cable Fuses Lubricating grease for trunnions Hex. pin driver Release pin Notes on moving the equipment safely Operating instructions The rotor(s) and associated accessories are included in the delivery in the quantity. Unpacking the centrifuge Lift the carton upward and remove the padding.

  • Page 11: Initial Operation

    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.

  • Page 12: Installation And Removal Of The Rotor

    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.

  • Page 13: Inserting And Removing Hangers Into/From The Rotor

    Inserting hangers in the rotor: 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.

  • Page 14: Loading The Rotor

    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.

  • Page 15: Closing Biosafety Systems

    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.

    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...

  • Page 21: Maintenance And Servicing

    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. Centrifuges, rotors and accessories must not be cleaned in rinsing machines.

  • Page 22: Rotors And Attachments

    26.2 Rotors and Attachments 26.2.1 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.

  • Page 23: Trunnions

    26.2.4 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. 26.2.5 Rotors and accessories with limited service lives The use of certain rotors, hangers and accessory parts is limited by time.

  • Page 24: Faults

    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: Switch off the mains switch (switch position "0").
