Runtime
The set runtime is displayed in the upper section of this field, with the
remaining runtime shown below. The runtime is defined as the period from
the start of the centrifuge to the beginning of the deceleration phase. The
maximum value is 99 h 59 min 59 sec.
In the "Setup" menu, one can specify that the counting of the runtime is not
to be started until the set speed is reached (see chapter 6.3.2.7 - "
Setup
menu
"). In this case, the symbol "
!
" appears in the runtime field.
Continuous run
During the continuous run, the runtime of the centrifuge is unlimited and
must be stopped manually. The centrifuge accelerates during the
continuous run until the set speed is reached.
• Select the field "Runtime" and confirm the selection. The display flashes
when it is activated.
• Turn the function knob from the time 0:00:10 anti-clockwise or from the
time 99:59:59 clockwise. "Infinite" will be displayed. After the start of the
centrifuge, the elapsed time will be displayed.
• Deactivate the continuous run by pressing the stop key or by entering a
specific runtime.
Short run
A short run can be started if no run is active.
• Keep the start key pressed during the short run.
During the short run, the centrifuge accelerates with the maximum
acceleration curve 9 until the maximum speed of the rotor is reached. The
runtime is counted and in the speed field the message "Short run" flashes.
When the start key is released, the centrifuge decelerates to a standstill
based on the maximum deceleration curve.
NOTE
The parameters speed, RCF, temperature, and runtime can be changed
during the centrifugation.
