3.7.2
Standstill monitoring system
Opening of the centrifuge lid is only possible if the rotor is at a standstill.
This standstill is checked by the microprocessor.
3.7.3
System check
An internal system check monitors the data transfer and sensor signals with
regard to plausibility. The system continuously performs a self-check and
identifies malfunctions. Malfunctions are indicated by error messages with a
number in the speed/rcf display (see chapter 7.2 - "Table of error codes").
3.7.4
Earth conductor check
An earth conductor check can be carried out by authorised and specialised
personnel using a suitable measuring instrument. Please contact the Sigma
service department (see chapter 7.3 - "Service contact").
