The Benchtop High-Speed Centrifuge TG16WS is an experimental instrument suitable for use in biochemistry, genetic engineering, radioimmunology, and other fields. It consists of a control system, centrifugal cavity, drive system, rotor, refrigeration system (if it is a refrigerated centrifuge), and safety protection. The machine uses a DC variable frequency motor, microcomputer control, liquid crystal display, lift speed, low noise, small vibration, electronic door lock safe and reliable. It has a maximum speed of 16,500 r/min and a maximum RCF of 20,653 xg. The product comes with a packing list that includes the host, rotor, test tubes, operation instructions, power cord, and other accessories/tools.
Product Usage Instructions
Before using the Benchtop High-Speed Centrifuge TG16WS, please read the operation instruction handbook and adhere to the safety alerts and precautions mentioned in the manual. This product is suitable for use by trained professional operators and technicians. It is taboo to use without professional operators or personnel without relevant operational qualifications.
The product should be stored in rooms with ventilation/drying/light avoidance /non-corrosive gases. Please read the instructions on the label and packaging identification sample carefully.
The product comes with a fault display that indicates any issues with the centrifuge machine. The fault display shows E-1 for imbalance, E-2 for overspeed, E-3 for door issues, E-4 for speed-hall error, E-5 for overvoltage (during shutdown), E-6 for overcurrent, E-7 for no speed measured, E-8 for communication issues, E-9 for fluctuating external input power supply, and E-10 for temperature sensor issues.
The product is equipped with various rotor options for different capacities and tube sizes. Please refer to Table 2: Instrument rotor parameters in the manual for more information on the rotor specifications.
When using the product, ensure that the rotor is correctly installed and balanced to prevent imbalance issues. Do not run the centrifuge machine without a rotor. The rotor should be removed from the shaft after use to prevent it from rusting to death and causing the centrifuge machine to scrap.
Safety alerts and precautions
Safety alerts：
- Before use, please read the operation instruction handbook.
- Do not use in wet, hot or dusty locations to avoid instrument failure.
- When the instrument is running, it must not move the instrument and must not open the door cover of the instrument.
- The countertop of the installation instrument should be solid and flat, there should be no shaking phenomenon, all four rubber machine feet should be in full contact with the countertop and uniform force.
- Centrifuge tube added liquid as evenly as possible, if the difference between the addition will produce large vibration, at this time should be stopped to check, so that the addition meets the requirements, centrifugal test tube must be placed in even symmetry, not singular into or asymmetrical into the rotor.
- After each use, open the instrument door cover, allow the water in the centrifugal cavity to evaporate, and clean the inner cavity of the instrument. The instrument must have a reliable ground wire when using a power supply.
Precautions：
- Do not strongly collide, vibrate or re-throw the instrument to avoid non-serviceable consequences of damage to the mechanical or electrical parts of the instrument.
- Do not use the instrument in wet or hot places to avoid extensive damage to the electrical part of the instrument.

Installed
- The native power supply is a single-phase AC110V 60Hz 15A.
- The power supply should have a safe and reliable wire, strictly prohibit the ground wire instead of zero line, not to pull the machine wire indiscriminately.
- The placement of the site indoor environment non-corrosive gas relative humidity shall not be greater than 85%, there should be no other strong vibration source. Thet table surface of the unit should be rigid and hard enough to support the instrument, the countertop should be flat without any slope, so that the four rubber soles of the machine and the table to maintain smooth contact.
Introduction to the interface and instructions for use:
- The centrifuge placed on a solid countertop, four rubber machine feet should be in good contact with the table surface, shake the centrifuge with your hand, check whether the centrifuge is placed smoothly.
- Open the door cover, the centrifuge tube into the rotor test tube hole, centrifuge tube must be placed in even symmetry (high-speed centrifuge centrifuge test fluid should be weighed to join), pay attention to the rotor cover tight, and re-check whether the test tube is symmetrically placed, screws are tight.
- Close the door cover, pay attention to make the door cover locked, finished by hand to check whether the door cover is closed. Plug in the power supply and press the power switch.
- Set speed, temperature, time, rotor number, program, speed-up gear, speed-down gear: (operator panel diagram below) can be raised) otherwise long time on the shaft, may rust to death, the rotor will not be taken out and cause the centrifuge machine scrap.
- The life of the native host 6 years, rotor service life of 5 years, expired should replace the rotor. All rotors must not be used at more than their maximum speed.
Troubleshooting/warranty coverage
Common troubleshooting methods:
| Common failures | Possible reason | Elimination method |
|---|---|---|
| Power on, the display window is not lit | No 110V power supply | Check power |
supply
Fuse is broken| Replacement
Power plug-in is loose| Plug in
Press the start button centrifuge does not operate| Door cover is not closed|
Close the door cover
Wiring plug-in is loose| Plug in
Control board is damaged| Replacement
Motor has electricity does notturn, the motor is damaged| Replace themotor
Centrifuges vibrate a lot| Centrifuge tube is not placed symmetrically| Check
Centrifuge tube is broken| Replacement
Rotor is not rotating| Check
When the centrifuge fails, check the fault condition corresponding to the
fault number and resolve the failure of the centrifuge according to the actual
situation. Press the stop button to eliminate When there is only one rotor,
the rotor number adjustment is skipped and the room temperature interface
skips the temperature adjustment. Press the up and down key to adjust the
parameter value, adjust the parameter to the expected value, press the
confirmation key to exit the set state and save the modified parameters.
When the above steps are complete, press the “Confirm” key to confirm the
speed, temperature and time set above, and then press the “Start” key to start
the centrifuge (when pressing the “Start” key, if the instrument cannot start,
check that the door cover is closed).
Precautions：
- The table of the centrifuge should be flat, four rubber machine feet should be in contact with the table and uniform force, so as not to produce vibration.
- Centrifuge tube liquid should weigh the balance, if the difference between the addition of liquid too large operation will produce large vibration, at this time should be stopped to check, so that the addition meets the requirements, centrifugal test tube must be placed in even symmetry.
- If there is a centrifugal test tube rupture, will cause large vibration should be immediately stopped treatment.
- After each shutdown and then power on the interval should not be less than 5 minutes, so as not to block the compressor to turn damage.
- After each centrifuge is completed, open the instrument door cover, let the water evaporate, and regularly take out the rotor,(unscrew the rotor cover, with a handle into the rotor center hole
Introduction to keystrokes：
- Set: Switch adjustment parameters, this key is set for switching adjustment speed, time, speed etc.
- Up: Increase hypothesis parameter value; This pressed key adjustment rotational speed value and time value establishment.
- Down: Reduce the set parameter value, this button adjusts the speed value and time value setting.
- Enter: Exit the set state and save the setting parameters.
- Short: Press this key centrifuge to start centrifugation, relax and stop working.
- Start: Start the motor, (press this key to start the centrifuge after setting all parameters).
Stop/Open: Eliminate alarm when alarm, operating status press can stop midway standby state open cover.
Parameter set:
Press the setting key to cycle through the set parameters, the parameters set
the cycle order (number of keys): 1: speed; 2: time minutes; 3: time seconds;
4: rotor number; 5: program number; 6: speed upshift (Larger the number,
Faster the speed), 7: the lower speed (Larger the number, Faster the descent)
