Figure 1.1
The START key is used to start the centrifuge program with the parameters
displayed on display. The START key can only be activated when the lid is
closed.
The STOP key is used for aborting the operation at any time. When the rotor
has come to a complete standstill, the letter “S
.
” will appear on the display
signalling that the rotor has stopped.
The LID key is used to open the lid of the centrifuge once it has come to a
complete standstill.
The LID key can only be used when the display reads “S
.
” This key cannot
be used whilst the rotor is in motion.
Once the rotor has stopped the lid can be opened by pressing the lid key, the
display will show
S O
and the LED in lid key will be lit up. This denoted that
the rotor has stopped and that the lid is open.
