with pathogenic micro-organisms. Use of these is at your own responsibility. If the centrifuge, rotor and accessories that have been contaminated by solutions with toxic, radioactive or pathogenic materials, clean it according to the decontamination procedure as specified. If you require service at site, please sterilize and decontaminate the centrifuge in advance, and then notify the service center the details of the materials and procedure.
Vibrations are likely to damage the centrifuge, contact our service center if abnormality observed. 1.

equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. 3. Required Operational Conditions 3.1 Basic operational conditions (1)Power: Single-phase, 220V-240V, 50Hz/60Hz, 5A; 110V-120V, 50Hz/60Hz, 5A (2)Ambient temperature: 2℃~40℃.
4.2 Connection of the power cord and grounding WARNING To avoid electrical shocks, ensure your hands are dry when touching the power cord. This centrifuge must be grounded properly. An minimum 10A outlet providing a sufficient ground is required, and this must meet local safety requirements.
6. Operation panel Speed display area Temperature display area Time display area 14000 ℃ (1) (5) (2) (4) (3) Figure 6-1 Operation panel Item Symbol Name Function When the door closed, press and hold the button to accelerate speed, Pulse button release the button to stop it.
14000 ℃ Figure 6-2 The main interface Main interface is as figure 6-2. The speed is set to be 14000rpm, temperature of centrifugal chamber is 25℃, and the running time is 12 minutes. When speed symbol is rotating, this indicates the centrifuge is running.
7.5 Symmetrically load centrifuge tubes into rotor CAUTION Make sure the rotor lid is securely fixed on the rotor, as well as the rotor and shaft are tightened. Otherwise, the rotor may be moved off while rotating and cause damage to the centrifuge and rotor. Firmly tighten the rotor lid to the rotor.

8.1.2 Set the operation programs Press the button to select required program. The parameter can be modified when the program is flashing. Rotate the program button clockwise to increase parameter value. Rotate the program button clockwise to decrease parameter value. Rotate the program button faster, and the parameter value will increase faster.
(3)Warning display If an error occurs during the operation, the centrifuge will brake to stop automatically, and display the error code on the time/display area. The error code can be checked in the table 10-1, and corrective actions can be applied accordingly. 8.1.4 End the operation (1)The centrifuge will brake when it reaches the set time or button is pressed.
8.3 Pulse operation This function is used to remove the residual samples adhered to the interior of the tubes or for quick spins. Note:The button works only while the rotor stopped and the door is locked. (1)Turn on the power switch and load the rotor to the shaft, tighten the rotor lid and make sure it is in secured position, and then close the door.
(3)Drive shaft We recommend regular maintenance for drive shaft. You can wipe the drive shaft with soft cloth, and then apply a thin coat of silicon grease. (4)Door Clean and sterilize the door using the same method as the section(1)above. (5)Rotor To prevent corrosion, remove the rotor from rotor chamber.
