Programmed Operation
A. Storing Selections to Program Memory
1. Establish all desired run parameters as explained in steps 1 and
3 of the previous section, Normal Operation.
NOTE
If you plan on using the QC RUN feature, consider the
following as you save runs to program memory:
• QC programs should all apply to using the same rotor.
• QC RUN programs should not use HOLD.
• Programs with SPEED=400 rpm, TIME=00:00, and
TEMP=40 will be ignored in the QC RUN sequence.
• Although you may choose otherwise, to minimize the
time it takes to perform a QC RUN, we recommend
the following: Starting with program 1, save runs to
program memory in order – sorted first by temperature
(highest first), then, if there is more than one run at a
single temperature, by speed (lowest first).
ROTOR SPEED TIMED DEG C PROG #
H6000A 2900 04:00 22 1
H6000A 4000 03:00 22 2
H6000A 3800 03:45 4 3
H6000A 5000 05:30 4 4
H6000A 400 00:00 40 5
2. Press MENU to access the advanced features screens, then press
ENTER (seven times after first accessing the advanced features)
until the following screen is in the SET display:
SELECT SAVE RUN?
(1=YES, O or ENTER=NO)
3. Input 1. The following screen will appear in the SET display:
ENTER PROG #...............: 00
(SINGLE RUNS, 1-9; STEP RUNS, 10-15)
NOTE
Single-digit program numbers 1-9 are for storing sets of
standard run parameters; double-digit program num-
bers 10-15 are for storing step-runs.
3. Input a program number, then press enter. The SET display will
then return to the HOME screen, and that program number will
appear in the PROG # field as confirmation:
ROTOR SPEED TIMED DEG C PROG #
H6000A 2800 04:00 22 1
Record saved information on the Program Log Pad (supplied).
FOR EXAMPLE :
The programs at right are listed in correct
order for using QC RUN; PROG # 5 will
be ignored by the centrifuge when
performing the run (program values shown
are for example purposes only, actual set
parameters will vary).
