Troubleshooting
Mechanical emergency lid release
7-2 Sorvall ST 40 Thermo Fisher Scientific
Mechanical emergency lid release
During a power failure, you will not be able to open the centrifuge lid
with the regular electric lid release. A mechanical override is provided to
allow sample recovery in the case of an emergency. However, this should
be used only in emergencies and after the rotor has come to a complete
stop.
Always wait a few minutes until the rotor has come to a stop without
braking. The brake does not work when there s no current. The braking
process lasts much longer than usual!
Proceed as follows:
1. Make sure the rotor has stopped (view port in the lid).
2. Pull out the power supply plug.
3. On the back of the housing are two black plastic plugs which you
can pry out of the back plate with a screwdriver or a knife.
Pull the release cord attached to it at the same time to trigger the
mechanical lid release. The lid will open and the samples can be
removed.
WARNING
The rotor can still be spinning at high speed. If touched, it can cause serious injuries.
WARNING
Never use your hand or other tools to brake the rotor!
