Checking the Rotor Lifetime
NOTICE
The cycle counter is counting the centrifuge runs. The cycle counter can not
detect changed or replaced rotors and buckets.
The lifetime of rotor and buckets depends on the amount of pyhsical load� Do not exceed the number
of cycles recommended for rotor and buckets�
The maximum number of cycles is given in the table stating the rotor specifications� (
Scientific DualSpin Rotor“ on page 13
The maximum number of cycles for buckets is marked on the buckets themselves�
You can check the number of cycles on the centrifuge display� When switiching on the centrifuge
hold the STOP key pressed� After software version and NVRAM version the actual number of cycles
is shown�
When this screen shows the counted cycles will be shown in a few seconds�
This screen shows the actual cycle numbers� The shown example states 706 cycles�
