Fixing electronic or electromechanical devices on your own, without the proper training, knowledge, or tools, can pose significant risks not just to the device itself but also to your personal safety. These devices often operate under high voltage or store energy in capacitors that can cause severe electrical shocks. Additionally, tampering with internal components can lead to short circuits, fires, or even explosions if batteries are improperly handled. The complexity of these systems means that without a thorough understanding, it’s easy to misdiagnose problems or create new issues that could render the device inoperable. Moreover, such unauthorized repairs can void warranties and violate safety regulations, leading to legal and financial repercussions. For these reasons, it’s crucial to assess the risks and consider professional services for repairs, especially for sophisticated devices where precision and safety are paramount.

Troubleshooting:

• No Rotor / Centrifuge does not start up
• Cause: No rotor.
• Remedy: Insert the rotor.
• Error in the drive or in the rotor detection
• Remedy: Switch the centrifuge off and back on again after > 20 s.
• Centrifuge lid could not be locked / Centrifuge lid not closed properly / The centrifuge lid cannot open automatically
• Remedy: Press the open key, try again to close centrifuge lid, close the centrifuge lid firmly, or lift the centrifuge lid manually.
• IMBAL / ROTOR / The centrifuge shakes when it starts up and switches off
• Causes and remedies involve loading the rotor symmetrically, tightening the rotor nut, checking the rotor cone and motor shaft for grooves and damage, and ensuring the centrifuge is positioned on a stable table.
• SPEED / Centrifuge switches off
• Cause: Nominal speed for rotor too high.
• Remedy: Enter the appropriate nominal speed.
• Change rotor
• Cause: The maximum service life of the rotor has been reached.
• Remedy: Contact Technical Service.
• Temperature display flashes (only 5804 R/5810 R)
• Cause: Temperature deviation from set value: ΔT > 3°C.
• Remedy: Check settings, ensure set temperature is reached, check air circulation, and thaw ice or allow the device to cool down if necessary.
