Note
Buttons should be depressed with finger tips only. Never press buttons with a sharp
object such as a pen, screwdriver, centrifuge insert, fingernail, etc. The buttons are
membrane switches designed to be activated by finger actuation. Use with any hard or
sharp object can cause damage to the tactile layer of the button, rendering the button
unstable and prone to premature failure.
Error Indicators
The combination of the Error / Service indicator and the cycle LEDs on the front panel
specify the error code.
Error/Service =
Quick Spin = 30 seconds
Normal Spin = 120 seconds
Hard Spin = 180 seconds
1. Error/Service indicator.
2. When 180s cycle LED and Error/Service indicator flash, it indicates the centrifuge is
unable to reach or maintain target rotor speed.
3. When 120s cycle LED and Error/Service indicator flash, it indicates cover opened or
cycle changed during operation.
4. The system beeps continuously if one of the following conditions are present:
— Centrifuge is over operating temperature
— Short circuit of the motor drives, fan, or solenoid
— Reduction in the availability of electrical power
— Short-term power failures
To stop the beeps, press the Stop button.
Error/Service light will continuously illuminate when the centrifuge has achieved a total
run time of 150 hours, which is the useful life of the drive system. Drive mechanism needs
replacing. Contact Beckman Coulter Customer Support.
