NOTE
It is your responsibility to decontaminate the
centrifuge, as well as any rotors and accessories,
before requesting service by Beckman Coulter
representatives.
SHUTDOWN/NO-START DIAGNOSTICS
If one of the conditions described in Table 4-1 shuts the centrifuge
down prematurely, the rotor will decelerate to a stop and the RPM
display will show “8880.” Refer to Table 4-1 to determine the nature
of the problem and recommended corrective actions. Possible causes
for each problem are listed in the probable order of occurrence.
Perform the recommended corrective action in sequence, as listed.
If the problem persists, call Beckman Coulter Field Service.
To help diagnose and correct the problem, try to provide as much
information as possible:
• Note the operating situation when the error occurred (such as
speed or load type).
• Note any unusual environmental and/or operating conditions (such
as ambient temperature or voltage fluctuations).
• Add any other information that may be helpful.
