The SPEED RCF key is used to switch between viewing the speed or the 
RCF.  This key is also functional whilst the centrifuge is in motion. 

 
 

 

The TIME key is used to adjust the length of time the user wishes to 
centrifuge their samples for.  The selectable time is 1 to 60 minutes.  By 
pressing this key whilst the centrifuge is in motion, the user can see at what 
value  was set at the beginning of centrifugation.   

 
 

  

Increase parameter value. 

 
 

 

 

Decrease parameter value.
