Press the
key to view and select programmed parameters.
Press the
/
or
key to control the actual run.
•
After pressing the
key the run display begins to count down from the preselected value (in
minutes and seconds). The centrifuge decelerates when the timer reaches zero.
•
After pressing the
key the centrifuge will operate until you stop the run by hand. Press the
key to do so. The run display will accumulate up to 99 minutes 59 seconds.
•
When pressing the
key the centrifuge will accumulate ACE value (Accumulated Centrifugal
Effect™) and display it in the run display. The centrifuge decelerates when the specified ACE value
is reached. The run display accumulates the ACE value until the centrifuge reached standstill.
Primary Functions
ROTOR
•
Press the
key to select a different rotor. The available rotors are listed one after the other in the
set display. This is necessary if the rotor or bucket/carrier system are changed. The correct
identification of the installed rotor is necessary for the set speed litmits, correctly calculate RCF,
and accurately control sample temperature. If a rotor is able to use buckets/carriers with different
maximum radii, each configuration will be listed for selection, to calculate the different RCF.
•
The
key is not active when a run is in progress.
SPEED
•
Press the
key to specify a different rotor speed (rpm) or RCF.
•
Speed is selectable from 300 to 4700 rpm depending on the specified rotor. The equivalent RCF
value is calculated at the maximum radius of the specified rotor. Adapters are not accounted for.
•
Press the
key repeatedly to toggle between rpm and RCF. Pressing once causes the value to flash
so a change can be made in that mode. Pressing again changes to the other mode and displays a
value equivalent to the previous. Pressing the
key again causes the value to flash so a change can
be made in that mode. When pressing again the set display toggles between rpm and RCF. An
entered value will continue to flash in the set dispaly when it is out of range.
•
The formula used to calculate RCF is:
CAUTION
Make sure that you always select the correct rotor and accessories.
Note
When changing mode, rpm/RCF values may appear a digit or two off from the original set
value. The centrifuge translates set RCF values to rpm whole numbers for speed control purposes.
The whole numbers are calculated to the closest RCF value. The speed control accuracy is not
compromised, and the slight value difference will not affect your run.
