RCF Calculation
The RCF accessory is used to calculate relative centrifuge force
(RCF, also known as
g
-force) values.
The accessory allows you to quickly determine the speed at which
you must run a particular rotor to achieve a desired RCF value. To
calculate the speed at a particular RCF:
1. Turn the main power ON but do not start the centrifuge; the
rotor must be at 0 rpm to calculate the speed that corresponds to
a particular RCF.
2. Set the ROTOR CODE switches for the code number of the rotor
you will use. (Rotor codes are given in Table 4-1.)
NOTE
The RCF values calculated for the SM-24 Rotor (code
number 09) are the values for the outer row of the rotor.
3. Hold the RPM/RCF switch down to RCF.
4. The SPEED display will show the RCF value (for the identified
rotor) at the speed that is set on the RPM switches.
5. Adjust the speed setting (on the RPM switches) until the desired
RCF value appears in the SPEED display; the speed set on the
RPM switches is the speed at which you have to run that rotor to
achieve the displayed RCF.
NOTE
If the ENTRY ERROR advisory message lights, you
have the speed switches set for a value higher than the
maximum speed of the identified rotor. Make sure the
correct rotor or rotor code is selected.
The RCF accessory can also be used to view the RCF at a particular
speed. Press the RPM/RCF switch down to view the RCF value (it
will appear in the SPEED display). The RCF will correspond to the
speed set on the RPM switches when rotor is at rest or to the actual
speed (shown in the SPEED display) when a run is in progress.
