Centrifugation

Power switching ON/OFF is carried out with master switch situated on the right-side wall of the

centrifuge. All settings on the centrifuge are done by means of the control panel.

Control panel

The control panel placed on the front casing serves the purpose of controlling centrifuge

operation.

the centrifuge is working as long as the key is pressed

First-time pressing will make stopping centrifuging with acceleration characteristics set in the current

program; second-time pressing will make braking as fast as possible.
