If there is anything wrong with the centrifuge, it will brake automatically and display
the error number on the right bottom of the screen. User can look up the error in the Table
11-1 and make corrective actions accordingly.
WARNING:
Do not open the door before the rotor stops.
6) Ending the running
(1) The centrifuge will brake when it reaches the end of running time or
button is
pressed.
As the rotor decelerate, the green lamp on
button turns off, and the red one on
button starts blinking.
When the rotor stops, the red lamp on
button stops blinking and turns off. The
instrument beeps 4 times to remind users that the operation is finished.
(2) Open the door.
When the operation is finished, user can open the door by pressing
button.
After ending the operation, the centrifuge will save the operating parameters and
recall them when power switch is turning on again.
NOTE:
If
button is pressed before the operation time is over, the rotor will brake
to stop at the highest deceleration rate.
(3) Take out the rotor or the sample.
CAUTION:
The rotor must be taken out if the centrifuge does not work. Otherwise,
the rotor is likely to be corroded or to damage the drive shaft.
To continue using the centrifuge, close the door to prevent dew drops in the rotor
chamber.
At the end of daily operation or if the centrifuge will not be used for a long time, open
the chamber door and turn off the power to dry the rotor chamber. User can close it when
it is completely dry.
7.2 RCF Operation
The maximum radius of each rotor is programmed in the memory of the centrifuge. User
can run the centrifuge by simply entering the desired RCF (×g) and the ID code of the
rotor.
NOTE:
Refer section 7.1-4, speed/RCF conversion, to set operating parameters.
