Centrifugation of materials or mixtures of materials with a density higher than 1.2 kg/dm

When centrifuging with maxim revolutions per minute the density of the materials or the material mixtures may not
3
exceed 1.2 kg/dm .
The speed must be reduced for materials or mixtures of materials with a higher density.
The permissible speed can be calculated using the following formula:
Reduced speed
e.g.: maximum speed RPM 4000, density 1.6 kg/dm
1.2 kg/dm³
n =
red
1.6 kg/dm³
In the exceptional case that the maximum loading indicated on the hanger is exceeded, the speed must also be
reduced.
The permissible speed can be calculated using the following formula:
Reduced speed
e.g.: maximum speed RPM 4000, maximum load 300 g, actual load 350 g
300 g
n =
red
350 g
If in doubt you should obtain clarification from the manufacturer.

Rotor Identification

After every start of a centrifugation run the rotor utilised is identified.
After a change of rotor the drive switches off and the rotor code (R xx) as well as the maximum rotational speed
(n-max=xxxxx) of the rotor are displayed.
A further operation of the centrifuge is only possible after a single opening of the lid.
If, following a rotor change, the maximum speed of the rotor is less than the set speed, the speed is limited to
the maximum speed of the rotor.

Emergency release

During a power failure the lid cannot be unlocked by motor. An emergency release has to be executed by hand.
For emergency release disconnect the centrifuge from the mains. For permanently connected devices,
switch off the mains switch to disconnect the mains supply to the device in the building installation.
Open the lid only during rotor standstill.
See figure on page 2.
•
Switch off the switch on the front panel (switch position "0").
•
Look through the window in the lid to be sure that the rotor has come to a standstill.
•
Insert the hexagon socket head wrench horizontally into the drilling (Fig. 1, A) and carefully rotate by half a turn
in clockwise direction until the lid can be opened.
•
Pull the hexagon socket head wrench out of the drilling again.
•
After turning the centrifuge on again, press the button
the normal position (opened).
