The hatch drive stops immediately if the operator reaches into the hatch with his hands in the light barrier area.
  • Page 19: Installation And Removal Of The Rotor

    Installation and removal of the rotor  Clean the motor shaft (C) and the rotor drilling (A), and lightly grease the motor shaft afterwards. Dirt particles between the motor shaft and the rotor hinder a perfect seating of the rotor and cause an irregular operation. ...
  • Page 20: Inserting And Removing Hangers Into/From 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 21: Loading The Rotor

    Loading the rotor CAUTION Injury and property damage due to containers of glass Standard centrifuge containers of glass will not stand RCF values exceeding 4000 (DIN 58970, pg. 2).  Use centrifuge containers of a different material.  Check the rotor for firm seating. With swing-out rotors all rotor positions must be lined with identical hangers.

  • Page 27: Braking Stage And Run-Down Time

    18.5.2 Braking stage and run-down time No B-brake stages can be set for this device. The activation of the B-brake stages in the "Settings" menu is not possible (parameter B-Ramp = off). B-brake stages are similar to an exponential braking curve. It is only possible to set run-down times if these have been activated.
  • Page 28: Programming

    Programming Programming can be done via the operating unit (key position "0") or via the interface (key position "LOCK 2"). The functions of the various key positions are described in the "Key-operated switch" chapter. If parameters are changed, the program place number is displayed in parentheses (). This means that the centrifugation data in the display no longer corresponds to the centrifugation data from the program place that has been saved.
  • Page 29: Program Linkage

    19.4 Program linkage "Program linkage" can be used to link several centrifuge operations together. A program linkage is only possible if this has been activated (parameter Multi programs = on; see the chapter on "Activating or deactivating program linkage"). 19.4.1 Activating or deactivating program linkage The program link can be activated/deactivated as follows when the rotor is at a standstill: This setting can only be made via the operating unit (key position "0"...

The LED in the key blinks until the rotor has been imported, it is subsequently lit.
  • Page 32: Integral Rcf

    Integral RCF The integral RCF is a measure for the effect of sedimentation (∫ n dt). This numerical value is used to compare centrifugation runs. 22.1 Query integral RCF The integral RCF can be queried via the operating unit (key position "0") or via the interface (key position "LOCK 2").
  • Page 33: Cycle Counter

    Cycle counter The settings can be made via the operating unit (key position "0" or "LOCK 2") or via the interface (key position "LOCK 2"). The functions of the various key positions are described in the "Key-operated switch" chapter. Usage of the cycle counter only makes sense if you always use the same hanger set. The centrifuge is fitted with a cycle counter, which counts the rotor cycles (centrifugation runs) of the different rotor codes (see also chapter, "Rotor recognition").
  • Page 34: After Starting The First Centrifugation Run, Enter The Maximum Permitted Number Of Cycles Or Deactivate The Ycle Counter

    24.1 After starting the first centrifugation run, enter the maximum permitted number of cycles or deactivate the cycle counter  Enter max cycles = 30000 is displayed.

The functions of the various key positions are described in the "Key-operated switch"...
  • Page 38: Backlighting Of The Display

    Backlighting of the display (only possible starting from program version V 01.18) To save energy, it can be set that, after a centrifugation run, the backlighting of the display switches off after 2 minutes. With the rotor at a standstill, this can be set as follows: This setting can only be made via the operating unit (key position "0"...
  • Page 39: Query The System Information

    Query the system information The following system information can be queried:  Centrifuge model  Mains voltage  Rotor information  Program version of the centrifuge  Program version of the frequency converter The system information can be queried as follows when the rotor is at a standstill: The query can be made via the operating unit (key position "0"...
  • Page 40: Cooling (Only In Centrifuges With Cooling)

    Cooling (only in centrifuges with cooling) The temperature set-point can be adjusted from -20°C to +40°C / -4°F to +104°F. The lowest obtainable temperature is dependent on the rotor (see Chapter "Anhang/Appendix, Rotoren und Zubehör/Rotors and accessories"). 35.1 Standby-cooling When the rotor is at a standstill, with the lid and hatch closed, the centrifuging chamber is cooled to the preselected temperature if this is lower than 20°C / 68°F.
  • Page 41: Prevent Cooling Being Switched On During Run-Out

    35.4 Prevent cooling being switched on during run-out If necessary it can be set so that at the end of the centrifugation run during run-out, once the specified speed has been attained, cooling is not switched on. This avoids whirling up the sediment in the sample. The speed can be set between 0 RPM and the maximum speed of the rotor (Nmax) in increments of 10.
