To change the contrast: 
•  Press and hold the stop button and turn the function knob one notch to 

the left. A dialog box will be displayed once the stop button is released. 

•  Adjust the contrast of the centrifuge display and confirm the change.

6.3.3 

Program mode 

A program contains all of the data that are required for a centrifuge run. 
Certain sedimentation results can be repeated under identical conditions. 

Programs can be loaded, executed, edited, and deleted when the 
centrifuge is at a standstill. 

A maximum of 60 programs can be stored under the numbers 1-60. The 
program "RAPID_TEMP" does not occupy any storage location and cannot 
be deleted. It is used to bring the centrifuge to a specific temperature 
without any vessels. 

"--" means that the values that are currently set are not a stored program. 

The programs can be protected against unauthorised use, modification, or 
deletion with the aid of a code (see chapter 6.3.2.7 - "Parameters menu"). 

Stored programs are listed in the "Process library" menu
