10. USER INTERFACE & DISPLAY ltem Name Function START/ Short press "START" to start the operation of Centrifuge. SH ORT SPIN Lang press "START/SHORT & hold this button after START/ SPIN setting required speed to run centrifuge for short time. SH ORT SPIN Press this button to stop the ongoing operation.
11.ROTORINSTALLATION T-Allen Key Motor Shaft 12. BALANCING THE ROTOR 1. Always balance the rotor before beginning the operation. Following are the process of symmetrical loading of cyto slides in the rotor. 2. Symmetrical loading of slides in the rotor is necessary. Otherwise vibration or imbalance can occur which can cause serious damage to the centrifuge.
12. BALANCING THE ROTOR Err 55 will be seen indicating slides are not loaded symmetrically. To resume operation, load cyto slides symmetrically & restart the centrifuge. 4. lncorrect method of loading the cyto slides in centrifuge rotor (ref. image below) NOTE: 1) lncorrect method of /oading cyto slide can /ead to an accident.

13. OPERATING THE CENTRIFUGE After connecting the power adaptor, switch ON the main power supply & the switch at the rear side of the centrifuge. Make sure to check the rotor fitment before use. Centrifuge will not operate with open lid. NOTE: Maintain a gap of 3 seconds between switch OFF and switch ON again.
13. OPERATING THE CENTRIFUGE 13.5 PROGRAM MODE Program mode operation is the feature which allows user to save 99 programs which can have different speed and time parameters. User can use any of these program simply by turning ON the program mode. To turn ON the program mode, Lang press "PROG"...
13. OPERATING THE CENTRIFUGE rotor is not loaded symmetrically, the imbalance detector gets activated and will cut off the centrifugation. The error "Err 55" will be shown on the display. First correct the imbalance load using method described in the balancing the rotor section of this manual.
15. TROUBLESHOOTING After the error 01 please do power oft and then power on. After that use the Lid not close perfectly Err 1 emergency lid through the allen key on the clockwise rotation lf lid is closed and display Make power oft and then power on.
