6.3.2.6 Speed / relative centrifugal force (RCF)
The set speed of the centrifuge is displayed in the upper area of the
Speed/RCF field. The actual value is displayed right below. The speed is
stated as the number of revolutions per minute (rpm) and the RCF values
as a multiple of the gravitational acceleration (x g). The values are
interdependent (see chapter 2.2.2.1 - "Speed, radius, and relative
centrifugal force"). The maximum speed/RCF values depend on the rotor
that is used.
The parameters speed and RCF can be changed during the centrifugation.
Fig. 13: Setting the speed value or the RCF value
Changing the speed increments
By default, the speed is changed in intervals of 100 rpm.
To change the speed in intervals of 1 rpm:
• Keep the stop key pressed while setting the desired speed with the right
function knob.
Changing the RCF increments
By default, the RCF value is changed in intervals of 10 x g.
To change the RCF value in intervals of 1 x g:
• Keep the stop key pressed while setting the desired RCF value with the
right function knob.
