ATTENTION The instrument must be used according to the instructions in the reference manual. Read the instructions carefully. WARNING This symbol draws attention to possible damage to instruments or instrument parts. UM R-5D ENG rev.0 04.10.2024...
The owner of the machine must inform users of its safe use at their place of work and manage potential risks and provide the required protective equipment. When using chemicals or solvents, follow the manufacturer's safety data sheets. UM R-5D ENG rev.0 04.10.2024...
Do not exceed the maximum rotor load. Never use cleaning chemicals or detergents that may be corrosive in nature. This could cause damage to the centrifuge. Use a dry cloth to clean the inside of the chamber. UM R-5D ENG rev.0 04.10.2024...
• Biological safety During operation, the centrifuge can generate particles suspended in the air. Since the R-5D model is not refrigerated centrifuge therefore they do not have a completely sealed chamber. This type of ventilated centrifuge helps to reduce the excess heat created by the friction of the rotor with air in the internal chamber.
Power supply 220-240 V - 50 Hz with a current carrying capacity of at least 5 A. o The location of the device is not exposed to direct sunlight. o Do not place the centrifuge near sources of strong electromagnetic radiation. UM R-5D ENG rev.0 04.10.2024...

Calibration window 7. Display and Control Panel The picture above shows the front panel of the R-5D display. It consists of two 7-segment displays, 2 LEDs and 5 buttons. • RPM display: This is a 4-digit display showing the actual number of rpm in Run mode (spinning) and the set number of rpm in normal mode.

In 'normal mode', pressing the button switches the device to 'CENTRIFUGATION mode'. o In 'Centrifugation' mode, the button is used to stop the process and return to normal mode. o The button has no function in 'Set-up' mode. • SETUP button UM R-5D ENG rev.0 04.10.2024...
• Preparing the initial centrifugation o Once removed from the packaging box, the R-5D must be placed on a suitable surface. o Connect the power adapter pin to the unit before connecting it to the power source. Once the power adapter is connected to both sides, turn on the main switch and the switch.
Clean the rotor and tubes before use. The R-5D centrifuge is supplied complete with an R-83A 12x15 ml fixed-angle rotor, 12 steel stainless bucket complete with rubber cushion and 15 ml round-bottomed plastic tube (see figure below).
If any kind of fault occurs during centrifugation, the motor is stopped and a message is displayed on the screen according to the type of fault. The conditions giving rise to these error messages are as follows: Overvoltage - Hv Undervoltage - Lv Overcurrent - ovr.C Communication Error - C.Err UM R-5D ENG rev.0 04.10.2024...
The frequency of these maintenances depends on the frequency of use, working temperature, centrifugal loads etc., so it is recommended to check these parts weekly. Before greasing, it is essential to remove the old grease. UM R-5D ENG rev.0 04.10.2024...
Wait for the rotor to stop and use the emergency opening to open the lid. Contact the supplier's technical service. Note: If the problem is not listed in this table or in the manual, please contact GIORGIO BORMAC S.r.l. technical support. UM R-5D ENG rev.0 04.10.2024...
12. Disposal of electronic equipment This equipment is subject to regulations for electronic devices. Dispose of in accordance with existing local regulations. The illegal disposal of electrical and electronic equipment is punished with an administrative fine. UM R-5D ENG rev.0 04.10.2024...
