REMOVING & INSTALLING DISC PLATE [y

6.1 REMOVING DISC PLATE
Disc plate can be removed / changed by turning the knob in counter clockwise direction. Turn the knob in counter clockwise direction and then remove the disc plate as shown in the below representational image :

6.2 INSTALLING DISC PLATE
Follow the exact reverse process to insert back the disc plate. Below image shows the step by step procedure to insert the disc plate back into the unit.

OPERATION

7.1 POWERING THE DEVICE ON

After connecting the power adaptor to back side of the device, switch the main power supply to “ON” & then switch the device on from the rear. Make sure that tubes are loaded properly before use.
7.2 SPEED SETTING
Press ‘Speed’ to select speed value and then press ‘Increment / Decrement’ to set required speed. The speed for operation ranges from 10 RPM to 80 RPM with incremental/decremental steps of 1 RPM. Speed values are saved after blinking 5 times.
7.3 TIME SETTING
Press “Time” to select time value and use increment or decrement button to set run time. Run time for operation can be set between 1 minute to 99 minutes with an incremental/decremental step of 1 minute. It can also be set for continuous or infinite mode indicated by’ ‘ in time display. The value will be saved after 5 blinks. The Countdown timer will get activated as soon as the operation starts. Time cannot be modified when the unit is in operation.
7.4 START / STOP OPERATION
Once the required speed and time are set, press “Start / Stop” to START operation. Speed gradually increases from lower RPM to set RPM and time takes effect as soon as the operation starts.
Press “Start /Stop” again to STOP the ongoing operation at any time. Speed gradually decreases from set RPM to zero (0) and stops in a few seconds.
NOTE: Speed and time cannot be changed/ modified during operation.
7.5 DEFAULT PULSE MODE
Pulse mode is used for vigorous mixing of samples by rolling with a momentary clockwise and counter clockwise pause every 30 seconds. Default cycle time set for pulse mode is 30 seconds.
Set required speed and total run time before activating pulse mode to guide the device to start pulse mode operation for that particular speed and total run time. Once the speed and total run time are set, press “Pulse Button” to START pulse mode operation for that particular speed and total run time. In pulse mode, pulse LED will glow indicating pulse mode operation is activated.
Example: Speed set to 50 RPM and total run time set to 2 minutes. There will be rotating motion in clockwise direction for 30 seconds (cycle time). After completion of 30 seconds, disc plate will have a 2 cycles of momentary pause in clockwise and counter clockwise direction. Post these 2 cycles, disc plate will have a rotating motion for 30 seconds in counter clockwise direction. This entire process constitutes 1 Pulse cycle.
Press “Pulse” again to stop ongoing pulse mode operation. User can also Press “Start / Stop ” to STOP ongoing pulse mode operation.
7.6 PROGRAM MODE
The program mode operation feature allows the user to save 9 programs which can have different speed and time parameters. Users can use any of these programmed parameters by simply turning on the program mode.
To turn the program mode on, hold down “Prog” until “Prog on” displays indicating program mode is activated.
After a few seconds, the display will show “P1” and “speed & time value” alternatively. This shows that the current program is P1 with some RPM and time value.

Press the “Program” button to select any program from “P1to P9”. Programs can also be selected by pressing “increment or decrement” button. Once the desired program is selected, press the “speed button” to select and set speed value. Press “Time” to select and set time value.

Speed and time value for that particular program is now saved. Press the “Start Button” to start the program mode operation. Once set RPM is reached, the program “Px” (with x=1 to 9) and its “Speed” & “Time” value will display alternatively.

To stop operation, press “Stop”.

To leave Program mode, hold down the “Program” button again to turn OFF the Program mode. It will display “Prog off” indicating program mode is off.

NOTE: On every restart, the device automatically comes out of program mode. It shows the last run default speed and time value.
POWER MODE
The function of this particular feature is that in case of power failure, equipment saves the SPEED, TIME and other details as set by the user. When the power returns, equipment runs for the remaining time left with cycle time of +1- 5 mins. Equipment saves the run time every 5 minutes of operation.
To select this feature, long press “TIME” button. Unless and until this feature is not switched on, disc rotator will not resume its operation after power failure.
Example: User has set RPM of 45, time of 35 mins. After completion of 23 mins, there was power cut and operation comes to a stand stilt Just before the power cut, remaining time seen on the display was 23 mins. When the power returns, the will assume its operation from 25 mins with the set RPM and other operational values.
