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.
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! •...
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 3.4 CENTRIFUGE KEYS By pressing this key, you start or end the run. When you press this key the first time the centrifuge starts to run. When you press it again, the centrifuge stops. Next run is possible when the rotor stops completely.
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.
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.
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.
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.
USER'S MANUAL CENTRIC 400 R 4.4 CONDENSATION Please remove any condensation water in the rotor chamber using a soft, absorbent cloth. Switch off the centrifuge after use, leave the lid open and empty the tray for condensation water, located bellow the device.
