3. For operator safety, the locking system is always active requiring power and
direction from the user to disengage it (the lid also automatically unlocks at the
end of a run when it is safe to do so). To unlock the lid (in order to access the rotor
chamber) press the ‘OPEN / STOP’ button on the control panel.
4. Open the lid and spin the rotor by hand and check for free and level rotation. If the
rotor does not spin freely, refer to the section on troubleshooting (page 17).
5. Ensure that the rotor lid is tightened securely.
6. Close the lid by pressing down firmly. The centrifuge will not run unless the lid is
latched properly.
7. Initiate a test run by pressing the ‘START’ button.
8. The centrifuge starts and reaches the set RPM steadily. When the set RPM /
RCF is reached the timer starts to countdown.
9. Listen to the sound of the centrifuge. A smooth whirring sound should be heard. If
there are any loud or unusual sounds, stop the centrifuge by pressing the ’OPEN /
STOP’ button immediately and refer to the section on troubleshooting (page 17).
10. Press the ‘OPEN / STOP’ button to terminate the test run. The rotor will decelerate
to a complete stop and the lid will then unlock automatically when rotor comes to
standstill.
11. The centrifuge is now ready for operation.
OPERATION
NOTE: Follow the initial setup procedure before initial operation.
1. Press the ‘OPEN / STOP’ button to unlock the lid and then open the lid.
2. Open the transparent rotor lid by loosening the rotor lid nut and place the
capillary tubes with samples into the rotor tube carriers. Be sure to follow the
rules for balanced loads.
3. Ensure that the rotor lid is tightened securely.
4. Close the centrifuge lid by pressing firmly. If the lid is not completely latched,
the error “LID OPEN’ will appear in the display and the centrifuge will not
operate. To resolve the error, see the troubleshooting guide. (Page 17)
