Page 6: Safety Information
Safety Information Before using the machine, make sure to read and understand this manual thoroughly. Keep the manual close to the machine, easily accessible to all the users. Improper operation can cause injury to persons or damage to the equipment. In the interest of your own personal safety, always observe the following safety instruc- tions: Do not use rotors and buckets, which show clear signs of corrosion or mechanical defects. -
Page 7: Intended Use
Intended Use The CF-260 Centrifuge is a universal laboratory centrifuge. It is designed for use in medical, scientific and industrial laboratories, for separating the substances with different specific densities by centrifugal force. In particular, it is intended for preparation of human samples (body fluids), in approved test tubes, before fur- ther analysis. -

Page 10: Control Panel Description
Control Panel Description Before using the centrifuge for the first time, familiarize yourself with the control panel and the functions of the knob and keys. Indicator for Selection of Rotational Speed (RPM) Display for Rotational Speed (RPM) or Centrifugal Force (RCF) Indicator for Selection of Centrifugal Force (RCF) SPEED Key Display for Time (TIME), Acceleration Level ( ) and Braking Level ( ) -
Page 11: Knob And Button Functions
Knob and Button Functions By rotating the knob, you change the values of the parameters on display. By rotating the knob clockwise, the value increases, and by rotating it counter-clockwise, the value decreases. By pressing on the knob, you confirm the new value for the parameter. By pressing this key, you stop the run of the centrifuge. -
Page 12: Turning On The Instrument
Turning ON the Instrument Turn on the main switch, which is located on the front of the right side of the centrifuge. All segments (eights) are displayed on all displays at first, and all the keys and indicators light up simultaneously. Then centrifuge model and program version (X.XX) are displayed, then lines, and finally the values of operation parameters are displayed. -
Page 13: Rotor Loading
Rotor Loading You must always load the rotor with test tubes symmetrically. You may only use approved test tubes. Weight difference of the samples in test tubes should be as low as possible in order to avoid potential damages to the motor and to minimize running noise and vibration. -
Page 14: Setting The Rotational Speed And Centrifugal Force
Setting the Rotational Speed and Centrifugal Force By pressing the SPEED key, you can set the rotational speed (RPM) and centrifugal force (RCF). The key lights up. By repeated pressings on this key, you select which parameter will be set. When indicator RPM is lit, you can set the rotational speed, and when indicator RCF is lit, you can set the centrifugal force. -
Page 15: Program Setting
NOTE: All the operation parameters can be changed during the operation of the centrifuge, and it starts to work with the new settings after that. • Changing the run time during operation You should be aware, that when you extend run time, the difference between newly set and originally set time is added to current time, and when you shorten run time, the difference is subtracted. -
Page 16: Starting And Stopping The Centrifuge

Page 17: Rotor Recognition
Rotor Recognition Rotor recognition is executed automatically, every time when the centrifuge starts. After rotor change, the centrifuge stops and display shows ROTOR CHG. Press the STOP key to clear this message. New maximum ro- tational speed is automatically set, to correspond with the inserted rotor. To start the centrifuge again, press the START key. -
Page 18: Auxiliary Lid Release
Auxiliary Lid Release In case of power failure, the lid can be opened manually. If power failure occurs during the operation of the centrifuge, the rotor may continue rotating for several minutes, before it stops. WARNING: Before auxiliary lid release, turn off the main switch of the centrifuge and wait until rotor fully stops. -
Page 19: Maintenance And Cleaning Of The Centrifuge
Maintenance and Cleaning of the Centrifuge Regular Service We recommend having the centrifuge and associated rotors checked by authorized service at least once a year. You must thoroughly clean and disinfect the centrifuge prior to service. Cleaning the Centrifuge After every centrifugation, please remove any condensed water from the rotor chamber using a soft, ab- sorbent cloth. -

Users Parameters Accessing Parameters With user’s parameters, you can check and set some of the operational properties of the centrifuge. Entry -For entering to user’s parameters, the centrifuge must be in stand-by mode. Simultaneously press the SPEED and PROGRAM keys and hold them for about 5 seconds. When the first parameter is displayed and the TIME key lights up, release the keys. -
Page 23: Replacing The Centrifuge Fuses
Replacing the Centrifuge Fuses The following fuses are required for CF-260 Centrifuge: 2 x 6.3AT 250V (230V) 2 x 10AT 250V (120V) • Unplug mains plug from the mains socket. • By pressing the locking device on the left side of the fuse compartment, the fuse holder is released and you can pull it out. -
