3. Turn the SPEED knob until

the required RCF value
appears in the SPEED
display.

The centrifuge operates at a speed calculated to produce the set RCF
value. Press

to display the RPM value

SETTING RUN TIME

Pressing the

key toggles the system between HR:MIN

mode and HOLD mode. HR:MIN mode is the default.

1. Turn the TIME knob until

the required run time appears
in the TIME display.

If you enter more than 59 minutes in the minutes field, the system
automatically converts the entry to hours and minutes after

_)28)6a

is pressed.

2. When all run parameters

are entered, press

_78%68a

The rotor begins to accelerate and the display begins showing the
remaining run time. The run will end when the time counts down to 0
or when

_7834a

is pressed.
