starts counting down when the rotor begins to spin and continues
the countdown until deceleration begins.
• During a continuous run (timer set for less than 0 or more than
9 hours, 59 minutes)—the infinity (
∞
) symbol is displayed and
elapsed time since run start is displayed. After 9 hours and
59 minutes the timer resets to 0 and continues counting
elapsed time.
TEMP
°
C
Indicates temperature inside the rotor chamber in °C, within
±2 degrees of the set temperature (after equilibration).
ACC/DEC
When the [
ACCEL
] key is pressed, the display flashes, indicating that
an acceleration rate can be entered; when the [
DECEL
] key is pressed,
the flashing display indicates that a number representing the selected

eration rate is displayed.
NAME RATING PLATE
The name rating plate is affixed to the rear of the centrifuge. Check
that the line voltage agrees with the voltage listed on this name rating
plate before connecting the centrifuge. Always mention the serial
number and the model number shown when corresponding with
