(minimum 4 hours). ▪ The supply voltage must match the voltage specified on the rating plate. Laboratory centrifuges by "MPW MED. INSTRUMENTS" are devices with a basic safety class and have a three-wire connection cord with a plug resistant to dynamic loads.
The use of test tubes not included in the list should be agreed with MPW MED. INSTRUMENTS or its authorized representatives. ▪ Pay attention to the quality and appropriate thickness of the glass test tubes walls.
5.3. Filling tubes ▪ Fill test tubes outside the centrifuge. centrifuged substance Centrifugation force ▪ If the manufacturer of the test tube has not specified the maximum level, fill the test tubes so that the centrifuged substance does not run out of the vessel during centrifugation.
Examples of correct and incorrect arrangement of test tubes in the rotor: 5.5. Safety hints ROTOR MAINTENANCE ▪ In order to increase the durability of gaskets, threaded places, rotor pins, undercuts for pins in containers, they must be cleaned, and then it is necessary to lubricate them with the technical petroleum jelly supplied with the device (catalog number 17201).
5.6. Operating conditions GENERAL REMARKS ▪ Only original equipment of centrifuges and spare parts should be used. ▪ In case of a malfunction of the centrifuge, the MPW MED factory service should be used. INSTRUMENTS or its authorized representatives. ▪ It is not allowed to start the centrifuge if it is not installed correctly or the rotor and accessories are not properly mounted.
5.8. Work safety The centrifuge should be inspected by an authorized service at least once a year (after the warranty period). Special circumstances, e.g., corrosive environment, may be the reason for more frequent checks. Tests should end with issuing a validation protocol, which specifies checking the technical condition of a laboratory centrifuge.
6. Product description 6.1. Product Design and Appearance The new generation of laboratory centrifuges "MPW MED. INSTRUMENTS" is equipped with modern microprocessor controllers, very durable and quiet brushless asynchronous motors and equipment that meets modern user requirements. The centrifuge has a rigid self-supporting structure.
6.2. Name plate The data concerning the device should be read from the rating plate located on the rear wall of the centrifuge (the picture below is an example). Centrifuge model Rated frequency Catalog number 10 Minimum speed Maximum speed 11 Manufacturer's logo Rated voltage 12 Manufacturer's information...
6.6. Increase in temperature In uncooled centrifuges, the temperature in the rotor chamber, rotor and sample can increase to above 40°C, based on the run time, g-force (rcf)/speed and ambient temperature. 7. Centrifuging Power switching ON/OFF is carried out with master switch situated on the side wall of the centrifuge. All settings on the centrifuge are done by means of the control panel.
7.4. Signaling states of centrifuge ▪ Cover is locked ▪ Cover is open ▪ Rotor is running (speed is increasing or constant) – mark turn counter-clockwise ▪ Rotor is running (breaking) – mark turn clockwise ▪ Rotor is running, time is counting – dot next to time indication is blinking ▪...
▪ Centrifuging in low rotational speed Centrifuge has memory for remembering the last settings even after turning off and turn on the centrifuge. 8. Maintenance 8.1. Cleaning of the centrifuge ▪ Pull the mains plug before cleaning. ▪ Before any cleaning or decontamination process other than that is recommended by the manufacturer, the user has to ask the manufacturer if the planned process does not damage the device ▪...

▪ The rotor, including the fixing screw, buckets and round carriers must be regularly cleaned to prevent corrosion. ▪ Cleaning of the accessories shall be carried out outside of the centrifuge once every week or still better after each use. For cleaning them one should use neutral agent of pH value 6÷8.

9. Troubleshooting Most errors can be corrected by switching the centrifuge off and on again. In the event of short-term power failures during operation, centrifugation is not continued. In order to centrifuge after power is restored, restart the centrifuge by pressing the START key. The most common errors and how to fix them are shown below 1.
10. Guarantee Manufacturer grants to the Buyer the guarantee on conditions specified in the Guarantee Certificate. Buyer forfeits the right to guarantee repair when using the device inconsistently with the User manual provisions, when damage results from the User’s fault. Repairs should be conducted in authorized service workshops, granted with the MPW Certificate.
