  • Page 4: Introduction

    CENTRIC 400 R 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 INTENDED USE Centrifuge CENTRIC 400 R is a laboratory refrigerating centrifuge intended to be used in laboratories for separating the substances with different specific densities by centrifugal force. The maximum rotational speed of 18.000 RPM gives the centrifugal force of 31.151 x g.
  • Page 5: Overall View

    USER'S MANUAL CENTRIC 400 R Before plugging in the centrifuge check that the mains voltage and frequency corresponds to the specifications on the identification plate of your centrifuge. The mains connection of the centrifuge may only be connected to a socket with a protective earth conductor.

    USER'S MANUAL CENTRIC 400 R 2. SAFETY REGULATIONS In the interest of your own personal safety, always observe the following regulations: The rotor and the lid must always be securely fastened. Do not begin centrifugation before the rotor has been securely fastened! •...
  • Page 7: Operation

    Differences in the weight of the filled samples tubes should be kept as low as possible in order to prolong the lifetime of the device and to minimize running noise. 3.3 FRONT PANEL OF THE CENTRIFUGE CENTRIC 400 R Switch on the mains supply. The nominal values of the last run appear on the display.

    USER'S MANUAL CENTRIC 400 R 3.5 SETTING THE TIME, ACCELERATION AND BRAKING LEVEL By rotating this knob, you change the parameters. With pressing on the knob, you choose between: • Working time Working time could be set between 0.01 and 99.5 minutes.
  • Page 10: Setting The Speed And Relative Centrifugal Force

    31.150 x g in steps by 10 x g. The maximal relative centrifugal force values are rotor dependent. 3.7 COOLING SETTING Centric 400 R offers the possibility to set the temperature range between -9 °C to 40 °C, in steps by 1 °C.
  • Page 11: Rotor Recognition

    USER'S MANUAL CENTRIC 400 R 3.8 ROTOR RECOGNITION Rotor recognition is executed automatically, every time when the centrifuge starts. Display shows ROTOR CHN and centrifuge stops, if the rotor was changed. Start is possible by pressing START/STOP key again. Display shows new maximum rotor speed if the preset value was too high.
  • Page 12: Temperature Calibration

    USER'S MANUAL CENTRIC 400 R 3.11 TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION If you perceive at temperature control a difference between preset temperature on display and real – measured temperature, the centrifuge offers you possibility to make temperature calibration by entering the service parameters and set the temperature difference.
