USER'S MANUAL CENTRIC CF 48 / CENTRIC CF 48 R 2.5. Safety rules The operator must respect the following precautions: o Do not attempt to open the cover while the display indicates that the end of the centrifugation run has not been reached.
CENTRIC CF 48 / CENTRIC CF 48 R 2.6. Intended use Centrifuges CENTRIC CF 48 and CENTRIC CF 48 R are laboratory centrifuges intended to be used in laboratories for separating the substances with different specific densities by centrifugal force.
USER'S MANUAL CENTRIC CF 48 / CENTRIC CF 48 R 3. DESCRIPTION OF THE CENTRIFUGE 3.1. General view Ventilated model Refrigerated model 3.2. Controls and Display Refrigerated models 3.3. Safety devices 3.3.1. Device for closing and locking the lid CF series centrifuges are fitted with a device for locking the lid to ensure the safety of the operator.
After a manual unlocking, the message "Press Lid Button" is displayed. Press the key to reinitialize the locking device. Contact a DOMEL certified technician to get the locking device checked, and the replacement of the sticker. 4. INSTALLATION AND SETTING UP Transporting the equipment over a long distance must be done by mechanized means, handled by personnel trained in its use.
USER'S MANUAL CENTRIC CF 48 / CENTRIC CF 48 R 4.3. Installation 4.3.1. Environment Avoid corrosive, high humidity atmosphere. Avoid direct sunlight that could result in heating of the instrument. The centrifuge is not designed to operate in an explosive environment.
USER'S MANUAL CENTRIC CF 48 / CENTRIC CF 48 R 4.3.3. Place of installation Place the centrifuge on its support or on a flat, horizontal bench that is fixed and can support its weight (See chapter 2.1 Technical specifications). Take care to mark out an operating space, 30 cm all around the instrument.

USER'S MANUAL CENTRIC CF 48 / CENTRIC CF 48 R Rotors must be balanced for load about a symmetrical axis: the contents of each pocket in the rotor or insert must be balanced in weight with that of the diametrically opposite position.
USER'S MANUAL CENTRIC CF 48 / CENTRIC CF 48 R Swing-out rotor dynamic balancing: The centrifuge can tolerate an imbalance of 10 g. Important Note: The imbalance detection system automatically shuts down the centrifuge in case of excessive imbalance (> 25 g) and displays the error code Err01. Moderate imbalance (10 to 25 g) generates vibrations that can cause or stop by detecting imbalance (Err01) or a cap at low speed.
USER'S MANUAL CENTRIC CF 48 / CENTRIC CF 48 R 4.4.6. Automatic speed limitation If the set speed is too high corresponding to the installed rotor, the spinning speed is automatically limited. In this case, the spinning flash turns differently, and 3 "beep" sounds are regularly emitted. The speed setting is adjusted to the maximum allowed for the rotor installed.
