It is only appropriate to use the cycle counter if the same
set of hangers is always worked with.
The cycle counter is activated by setting the maximum per-
missible cycles.
The device is equipped with a cycle counter, which counts the running
cycles (centrifugation runs) of the various rotor codes
on page 35.
In the case of swing-out rotors, the cycle counter is used to register the
running cycles (centrifugation runs) of the hanger. If a rotor is detected for
the first time by the rotor detection function, the centrifugation run is
aborted. After pressing any key,
‘Enter max cycles = <30000>’ will be dis-
played. The maximum permissible number of running cycles specified on
the hanger must be input before the centrifugation run can be
restarted
‘Entering maximum permissible number of running cycles /
deactivating cycle counter’ on page 60.
The cycle counter must be deactivated for rotors and hangers which are
not labelled with the maximum permissible number of running cycles.
Every time the lid is opened, the number of running cycles (centrifugation
runs) of the used rotor code is briefly displayed, e.g.
‘CYCLES 5120 of
30000’. If the input maximum permissible number of running cycles of a
hanger is exceeded,
‘* MAX CYCLES PASSED *’ is displayed at the start of
a centrifugation run, and the centrifugation run must be restarted.
NOTICE
If
‘* MAX CYCLES PASSED *’ is displayed, the hangers must
be immediately replaced with new hangers for safety rea-
sons.
After replacing the hangers, the cycle counter must be reset to
‘0’ again
when the rotor is at a standstill.
‘Resetting the cycle counter to 0 /
entering maximum permissible number of running cycles’ on page 61.
After starting the first centrifugation run with a rotor,
‘Enter max cycles =
<30000>’ is displayed.
1.
Set the maximum permissible number of running cycles specified on
the hanger with the
[adjusting knob].
The cycle counter must be deactivated for rotors and
hangers which are not labelled with the maximum
permissible number of running cycles.
In this case, rotate the [adjusting knob] counterclock-
wise until ‘disabled’ is displayed (‘disabled’ = cycle
counter deactivated).
