c)  

Press R/C for radiant chamber heat. Press at any time to turn OFF and 

ON. (As long as there is time left in the heat timer).

d)  

Once the time decrements to 0.00 HRS. the run will automatically stop, 

the display will show “End”,the SAV valves will click, also allowing air to 

bleed into the chamber. 

e)  

After the rotor stops spinning, the cover unlocks and the display reverts 

to last set parameters, and the UNIT will sound several audible beeps.

f)    Open the cover and remove samples.

GENERAL:  During the run, display shows actual parameters. To check set parameters

3.5 OTHER TOPICS

Chamber cover.

The cover must be closed before beginning a run. If you

press “Manual Run” or “Auto Run” and the cover is open, the display shows

“lid” to remind you to close the cover.

A user cannot open the cover during a run due to vacuum in the 

concentrator chamber. The cover is locked down at all times during a run

and whenever power to the unit is interrupted.

The cover lock is an additional safety feature that reduces the risk of injury

or damage from the spinning rotor. DO NOT bypass the cover lock to 

conduct a run with the cover open. If removal of samples from the concen-

trator chamber during a power failure is required, insert a firm, thin object

into the hole on the side of the unit. Press the object gently into the hole

until the cover hook is released. The cover can then be opened.

In order to release the

cover, insert a firm,

thin object into this

hole and press the

object gently.
