You should note that there are two versions of the CP-NX Series ultracentrifuges: One is designed for
rotors having optical adapters and the other, for rotors having optical disks. The RLM rotors can be used on
both types, but rotors having optical adapters cannot be used on the ultracentrifuge version designed for
rotors having optical disks and vice versa. Before running rotors having optical adapters or disks, check
whether the rotor and ultracentrifuge are compatible.
WARNING: 1. Do not remove the RLM adapter or optical adapter from rotor, or replace it with the
2. The optical disk must match the maximum speed of the rotor, because the optical
CAUTION: 1. Do not bring the RLM adapter near a magnet, or scratch it: Doing so will erase the
memory stored in adapter, and make the rotor unusable. To prevent the adapter from
being scratched, store the rotor with RLM adapter, using the stand provided with the
rotor (rotor stand for protecting adapter) (See Fig.2-2-5).
2. When replacing the optical disk with a new one, be very careful not to damage the
adapter for another rotor. The adapter is a critical component that detects the
over-speed of rotor : If an adapter that is not compatible with the rotor is attached, the
rotor could break, resulting in damage to the ultracentrifuge.
