Rotor selection
This field shows the rotor that is currently being used.
NOTE
The rotor selection can only be changed when the centrifuge is at a
standstill.
• Select the "Rotor" field and confirm the selection. The indication "set"
flashes in the activated status.
• Select the desired rotor. If there are rotors with several different types of
possible buckets, the various combinations will be displayed one after
the other.
• Confirm the input. The selected rotor or rotor/bucket combination will be
adopted.

Automatic rotor identification system
If the centrifuge is equipped with an automatic rotor identification system,
the input mode will be activated automatically if the system detects a
different rotor with several different types of possible buckets than the rotor
that is set. The bucket that is displayed is the bucket with the lowest
maximum speed. You can only select different types of buckets for the
identified rotor. If the input mode is aborted, this bucket will be stored
nonetheless.
This prevents the maximum permissible speed from being exceeded.
