4.2.1.2 Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF)
The relative centrifugal force (RCF) is the acceleration which the sample is
exposed to.
The lower scale of the right area indicates the RCF value x 1000. This can be set
by turning the right knob.
After entry of a RCF value a single bar indicates the set speed.
A sequence of bars indicates the actual RCF value during a run.
The RCF value can be changed during a run by turning the right knob.
If during the run the RCF value is set below the actual value, the new set RCF
value is indicated by a flashing bar.
Please refer to chapter 1.2 “Suitable accessories“ for the maximum values for the
used rotor combination. For this example rotor combinations 11035 and 11032
have been chosen.
