RC3 BP™ Operation
4-7
Pressing ENTER steps through the options screen sequence without
changing preexisting selection status (unless a new value is input).
Selections are made by inputting 1 or 0, then entering any required
setting values that may be prompted on a subsequent screen for
that option.
After the last option in the options screen sequence (SELECT SAVE
RUN?), the HOME screen will reappear in the SET display. If you
wish to exit the sequence before that, MENU may be pressed at any
time to return to the HOME screen. Use specific options as follows:
SELECT QC RUN?
The QC RUN feature should be considered usable only if the
centrifuge is equipped with the optional computer interface
package. The connected computer should have WatchLog Net-
work™ software running before starting a QC RUN.
When QC RUN is selected, the SET screen will prompt you to
prepare for the run and press START to begin. When START is
pressed, the centrifuge will start with program number 1, and
systematically step through each successive set of saved param-
eters until it has run every program saved to PROG # positions
1-9 (programs will be skipped if programmed to factory set-
tings: SPEED=400 rpm, TIME=00:00, and TEMP=40). QC RUN
data will automatically be recorded by the WatchLog Network™
software so that centrifuge performance with respect to the SET
speed and temperature is documented, and can be verified.
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
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).
