Runtime as of the set speed
If the runtime is to be counted as of the moment when the set speed is
reached, the symbol (see the illustration) behind the set speed value must
be activated:
• Select the clock symbol with the cursor and confirm the selection. The
symbol and the bar under the symbol start to flash.
• Activate the function by turning the function knob. The symbol remains
displayed in a permanent manner and the bar continues to flash.
• Further turning of the function knob will deactivate the function. In this
case, the symbol disappears but the bar continues to flash.
• Press the function knob in order to activate the desired setting. The bar
remains visible as long as the cursor is placed on the symbol.

Continuous run
During the continuous run, the runtime of the centrifuge is unlimited and
must be stopped manually. The centrifuge accelerates during the
continuous run until the set speed is reached.
• Select the "Time" field and press the function knob. The indication "set"
flashes in the activated status.
• Turn the function knob from the time 0:00:10 anti-clockwise or from the
time 99:59:59 clockwise. The indication "Cont" will be displayed in the
"Time" field. During the centrifugation run, the elapsed time will be
displayed.
• Deactivate the continuous run by pressing the stop key or by entering a
specific runtime.
