set.
By activating the selection key you can switch to the
RCF- value or change between rpm and RCF displays.
Selecting speed
The centrifuge speed can be set to a minimum of 300

You can adjust the speed in 100 rpm increments.
Proceed as follows:
1. Press one of the "set" keys (for increase) or
(for decrease) in the field “speed” of the control
panel to enter the pre-selected value mode (cf.
foldout leaf in the cover):
By pressing the key briefly ,
you increase or decrease the
speed in one step (of 100 rpm).
This option is supposed to be
used for small changes and
fine tuning.
2. If you hold the key pressed, the display changes
continuously at first slowly and after a few seconds
at an accelerated pace to the higher or lower val-
ues.
3. Release the key as soon as you reached the de-
sired value and fine tune if necessary by repeatedly
brieftly pressing the selected key). The first digit be-
hind the decimal point flashes for a few seconds
and then switches permanently inro the current
value mode. The new pre-selected speed is now
stored.
