6.3.2.5 Standard
menu
The standard menu is displayed a few seconds after the centrifuge has
been switched on. The following parameters can be displayed and
modified.
NOTE
As a default setting of the 6-16HS, the petroleum program "ASTM oil" is
stored in the system (see the "program selection list" in this chapter).

Speed
In the upper section of the field, the set speed of the centrifuge is displayed.
The actual speed is displayed below this value. The values are stated in
revolutions per minute (rpm) and depend on the RCF values (see chapter
2.2.2.1 - "
Speed, radius, and relative centrifugal force
"). The maximum
speed values depend on the rotor that is used.
Relative centrifugal force (RCF)
The relative centrifugal force is the acceleration that the sample is
subjected to. The set value of this parameter is displayed in the upper
section of this field, with the actual value shown below. The values are
stated in g (gravitational acceleration) and depend on the speed value (see
chapter 2.2.2.1 - "
Speed, radius, and relative centrifugal force
"). The
maximum RCF values depend on the rotor that is used.
Temperature
The set temperature is displayed in the upper section of the field, with the
current rotor chamber temperature shown below. Temperatures between
-20°C and +60°C can be preselected.
