Interrupting a centrifugation run
• Press the stop key in order to interrupt a centrifugation run. The
centrifugation run will be terminated prematurely.
Quick stop
• Press the stop key for more than three seconds.
The centrifuge decelerates with the maximum deceleration curve.
After a quick stop, the centrifuge lid must be opened before a new
centrifugation run can be started.
A quick stop can also be triggered during a normal deceleration, e.g. in
order to speed up the deceleration.
When a quick stop is triggered, “Quick stop” will be displayed in the speed
field.
NOTE
A quick stop can be performed even if the centrifuge is blocked against
unauthorised use.
