Rotor: rotor selection list/ automatic rotor identification
This field shows the rotor that is currently being used.
• Select the field "Rotor" and confirm the selection. A list with all of the
possible rotors without buckets is displayed.
• Select the desired rotor. All of the possible rotor/bucket combinations
and additional information for each combination will be displayed.
• Select a rotor/bucket combination and confirm the selection. Press the
function knob in order to accept the data.

Identifying and adapting incorrectly set rotors
The centrifuge automatically identifies the rotor that is being currently used.
• If the system identifies a different rotor than the one that is set, and
there are no different buckets for this rotor, the rotor input will be
adapted automatically. The system will not display a message.
• If the system identifies a different rotor than the one that is set, and if
there are different rotor/bucket combinations for this rotor, the system
will automatically select the rotor with the lowest speed. The system will
display a corresponding message so that the rotor can be selected
manually.
• If the system cannot identify the rotor, a message will be displayed. The
rotor cannot be used in the centrifuge.
This prevents the maximum permissible speed from being exceeded.
