The Unit Health Status icon (center in Figure 3–4 ) is a touch-sensitive area that opens a “Health Status”
pop-up window on top of the “Main” Screen. Four different icons may appear in this place, representing
the overall health status of the centrifuge:
The heart-shaped Health Status Good icon indicates that the unit is in proper operating
condition. For more details,
“3. 5. Status, Alarms and Alerts” on page 3-14 .
The triangle is a health status warning icon. It indicates that there is an issue that does not
stop the centrifuge immediately, yet requires the operator‘s attention soon. For more details,
“3. 5. Status, Alarms and Alerts” on page 3-14 .
The bell Health Status Alarm icon indicates that there are one or more major alarm conditions
that need to be corrected because they may constitute a hazard to the operator, the unit itself,
or the samples. The white digit in the blue circle indicates how many alarms exist. The sound
waves on both sides of the bell indicate that the alarm is sounding.
