Selecting the temperature
You can select the temperature in the range of -9 °C to
+40 °C.
(Please consult the standard diagram in the Appendix
to obtain the attainable values.)
To adjust the temperature, proceed as follows:
1. By pressing adjusting knob in "temperature“ field of
the control panel once you switch from present to
set value mode.
2. With the adjusting knob the temperature can be
increased respectively
decreased in 1° incre-
ments. The incremental
range depends on the
speed.
3. After the required value has been achieved the
temperature display flashes several seconds and
then changes to present value mode. The set tem-
perature value has been stored now.
Reaching the set values can be accelerated by press-
ing the adjusting knob once again like for the speed
selection (see there).
Starting the centrifuge
Once the rotor is properly installed, the main switch
turned on and the lid is closed, you can start the centri-
fuge.
Press the "start" key in the control panel. The centri-
fuge accelerates to the selected value. Simultaneously,
the time display starts counting down from the selected
set time, giving the remaining run time in minutes (dur-
ing continuous operation the time display goes for-
ward).
If a value exceeding the maximum permissible speed
or RCF of the respective rotor was entered, this is indi-
cated after the start of the centrifuge by the alternately
flashing messages "rotor" and the maximum permissi-
ble value for the inserted rotor.
Within 15 seconds you may adopt this value by again
pressing the "start" key; the centrifugation is then con-
tinued. Otherwise the centrifuge stops, and you must
enter a permissible value.
You cannot open the lid during the run.
