3. 2. Set Basic Centrifugation Parameters
This section explains how to set up the centrifuge with speed / RCF values, acceleration and deceleration
profiles, temperature (refrigerated models only) and other operating parameters.
3. 2. 1. Set Speed / RCF-Value
The centrifuge lets you set speed in rpm or as an RCF value (see “RCF Value Explained” further below). You may
set speed either from within an ongoing centrifugation run (centrifuge running) or for the next centrifugation run
(centrifuge at standstill).
NOTICE After the centrifuge is turned on, it shows the default selection made in the “Settings -> Setpoints”
screen; see “Setpoints” on page 3-34 .
