  • Page 7: Design Of Centrifuge

    4 Design of centrifuge The centrifuge (see Fig. 1) consists of a housing (1) with a cover (2). A motor is placed inside the housing, on the shaft of which a rotor (5) with adapters (6) is fixed using a nut (3) and a spacer (4). The control panel is mounted on the front of the centrifuge and includes ''OPEN'' (7) and ''START / STOP'' (8) buttons and touchscreen display (9) with buttons for setting the operating parameters.

  • Page 8: Operating

    5 Operating Place the test tubes in the rotor adapters. Please insert the test tubes symmetrically (on the opposite sides). To protect the centrifuge against imbalance, fill in the test tubes up to the same weight. Each test tube should be counterbalanced by another test tube. The total imbalance of test tubes should not exceed allowed value (refer to pages 16, 17).
  • Page 9 Additional settings menu SETTING THE ROTATIONAL SPEED OF THE ROTOR By pressing on the touchscreen display, select the necessary unit of measurement (RPM or RCF): The selected parameter lights on a white background. Using the numerical keyboard, enter the desired value of the parameter. To confirm the entered value of the parameter, press again the selected unit on a white background).
  • Page 10 PROGRAMMING MODE In this mode the user can create and save in the centrifuge’s memory his/her own centrifugation programs (up to 10 programs set up by the user). STANDARD MENU To activate the programming mode, you need to press the key (see the picture Standard menu).
