You may change the temperature setting at any time except when the instru-
ment is using ESP program settings or is in a locked operation. The rotor
temperature will be adjusted accordingly.
Actual rotor temperature, after equilibration, is controlled to ±0.5°C of the set
value. If the temperature control system malfunctions, the appropriate diag-
nostic message will appear and the rotor will automatically decelerate to a
stop. Follow the instructions on the screen and see the Troubleshooting Chart
in Section 9.
Maximum acceleration and nine slow acceleration profiles are available
to minimize disturbing the sample and sample-to-gradient interface. The
selected ACCEL entry is displayed in the lower left corner of the SETTINGS
window; MAX is the default setting.
Slow acceleration profiles are listed by number, including transition speeds
and times, in the ACCELERATION PROFILES window (Figure 2-6). The
rotor speeds indicate the speed at which the rotor completes its slow
acceleration, at which point the rotor accelerates at maximum speed to set
