MENU Key and OPTIONS
The MENU key accesses advanced feature options listed below it,
plus other features such as saving parameters to memory. After
pressing MENU, pressing 1 accesses a secondary screen to view or
enter values, plus confirm option selection; pressing 0 deselects
options; pressing ENTER steps through options without changing
selections or settings, and on secondary screens, enters values to
select the option. Pressing MENU again exits the options and returns
to the HOME screen without entering/selecting a flashing value.
Automatic logging of QC RUN and daily run data is possible using
WatchLog Network™ software (packaged with the optional network
computer interface package) on a dedicated computer.
• QC RUN allows simple, automatic quality control run speed/
temperature verification when used with the optional computer
interface package. The QC RUN feature will run and document
the data from each set of parameters that has been saved in
program memory.
When QC RUN is selected, the SET screen will prompt you to
prepare for the run and press START to begin – the centrifuge
will start running program number 1, and systematically run
each program in-order through program number 9. While the
QC RUN is in progress, the parameters of the program that is
running will be in the SET display. At the end of each program,
the data from that segment of the QC RUN sequence will be
written to the QC RUN log. If STOP is pressed while a QC RUN
is in progress, the data collected up through the last program
completed before termination will be logged (data from the
program that was in progress will logged and labelled
incomplete). If a system fault occurs while a QC RUN is in
progress (assuming it is not a computer failure, disabling
WatchLog Network™), the data would be logged as if STOP
was pressed, and a fault type will be recorded.
