The centrifuge should be installed on an even, solid and level surface, if
possible on a laboratory cabinet / table or some other solid vibration free
surface.
During centrifugation, the centrifuge must be placed in a way, that there is a
minimum space of 30 cm on each side of the unit according to the standards EN
61010-2-020.
Do not place the centrifuge next to a window or a heater, where it could be
exposed to excessive heat, as the performance of the unit is based on an
ambient temperature of 23°C.
2.3 Installation Follow these steps: Check whether the power supply
corresponds with the one specified on the manufacturer’s rating label, which
is located on the rear panel. For FC5714/FC5718/FC5816, the power line should
be protected by a 10 A rating circuit breaker (type K). For FC5718R/FC5816R
/FC5916/FC5916R, the power line should be protected by a 16 A rating circuit
breaker
(type K). In case of emergency, there must be an emergency switch off
installed outside the room in order to disconnect
the power supply from the unit. Connect the centrifuge to a grounded power
receptacle. Connect the centrifuge with the mains. (The socket for the power
cord must be easy to reach for disconnection) Turn the instrument on using the

Hold the rotor with one hand and secure the rotor to the shaft by turning the
fixing nut clockwise. Tighten the fixing nut with enclosed rotor key (See
figures 9-10) We will provide a tool for none-nut rotor with centrifuge, the
tool for nut-rotor will be provided with rotor.
ATTENTION! Check that the fixing screw is properly installed before each run.
(See figure 9-10) Do not operate the centrifuge with rotors or buckets which
show any signs of corrosion or mechanical damage. Do not operate with
extremely corrosive substances, which could damage the rotor, buckets and
materials. In case of any questions, please contact the manufacturer!
3.1.2 Loading angle rotors Rotors must be loaded symmetrically and with equal
weight (See figure below). The adapter may only be loaded with the appropriate
vessels. The weight differences between the filled vessels should be kept as
low as possible. Therefore we recommend weighing them with a balance. This
reduces the wear of the drive and the acoustic operating noise.
The maximum load per hole is stated on each rotor.
Figure.11 WRONG
Figure.12 CORRECT ( 6 tubes)
3.1.3 Loading swing out rotors Loading of the buckets / vessels must be made
in accordance to the figure below. It is allowed to operate e.g. a 4-place-
rotor with 2 loaded buckets only. But the loaded buckets must be opposite to
each other. Make sure that the unloaded buckets also be put inside the rotor
(see below). In principle swing out rotors may not be taken into operation
until all buckets or racks are put into the rotor. The bolts at the rotor must
be greased with the “High TEF oil”. The sample tubes have to be filled evenly
by eye and put into the drillings or tube racks. The weight difference of the
loaded buckets should not exceed approx.1.0 g.
ATTENTION! Swing out rotors may be taken in operation only if all locations
are filled in with either four buckets or four carriers do not mix buckets
and carriers together!!
ATTENTION! Do not operate the centrifuge with rotors or buckets which show any
signs of corrosion or mechanical damage. Do not operate with extremely
corrosive substances, which could damage the rotor and buckets. In case of any
questions, please contact the manufacturer!

Figure.13 WRONG
Figure.14 CORRECT
3.1.4 Loading and overloading of rotors
All approved rotors are listed with their maximum speed and maximum filling
weight in “table 2 permissible net
weight” (See APPENDIX). The maximum load permitted for a rotor, which is
determined by the manufacturer, as well as the maximum speed allowed for this
rotor (See label on rotor), must not be exceeded. The liquids the rotors are
loaded with should have
a maximum homogeneous density of 1.2 g/ml or less when the rotor is running at maximum speed. In order to spin liquids with a higher density, the speed has to be reduced according to the following formula:
Reduced speed nred =
1,2
x
max. speed (nmax) of the rotor
Example:
nred =
1,2 1,7
x 4.000 = 3.360 rpm
If in case of any questions, please contact the manufacturer!
To determine the relative centrifugal force(RCF/G-force) for a specific
adapter, you can calculate per DIN 58 970 using the attached formula:
RCF = 1.117862105n2*rmax n: revolutions per minute (RPM) rmax: max
centrifuging radius in cm by using the bottom of tubes
3.1.5 Removing the rotor Untighten the rotor fixing nut completely (screw over
the stiff point) and lift the rotor vertically out of the centrifuge. (See
figure 9 and 10).
3.2 Lid control
3.2.1 Lid open
After the run, when the lid of the centrifuge is closed, the word “close” (M1)

5. MAINTENANCE
5.1 M aintenance and cleaning
5.1.1 General
Care :
Maintenance of the centrifuge is confined to keeping the rotor, the rotor
chamber and the rotor accessories clean as well as to regularly lubricating
the rotor insert bolts of a swing out rotor (if available).
The most suitable lubricant is the High TEF oil.
Lubricants containing molycote and graphite are not allowed.
Please pay special attention to anodized aluminum parts. Breakage of rotors
can be caused even by slight damage.
In case of rotors, buckets or tube racks getting in touch with corrosive
substances the concerned spots have to be cleaned carefully.
Corrosive substances are for instance: alkalis, alkaline soap solutions,
alkaline amines, concentrated acids, solutions containing heavy metals, water-
free chlorinated solvents and saline solutions. e.g. salt water, phenol,
halogenated hydrocarbons.
Cleaning units, rotors, accessories:
– Turn the device off and disconnect it from the power supply before you begin
any cleaning or disinfecting. Do not pour liquids into the housing interior.
– Do not spray disinfectant on the device. – Thorough cleaning not only has
its purpose in hygiene but also in avoiding corrosion due to pollution. – In
order to avoid damaging anodized parts such as rotors, reduction plates etc.,
only pH-neutral Detergents
with a pH-value of 6-8 may be used for cleaning. Alkaline cleaning agents (pH-
value > 8) must not be used.
EN-18
FrontierTM Centrifuge FC5714/FC5718/FC5718R/FC5816/FC5816R/FC5916/FC5916R
– After cleaning, please ensure all parts are dried thoroughly, either by hand
or in a hot-air cabinet (max.Temperature + 50°C).
– It is necessary to coat anodized aluminum parts with anti-corrosion oil
regularly in order to increase their lifespans and reduce corrosion
predisposition.
– Due to humidity or not hermetically sealed samples, condensate may be
formed. The condensate has to be removed from the rotor chamber with a soft
cloth regularly.
The maintenance procedure has to be repeated every 10 to 15 runs, or at least
once a week.
– Connect the unit to the power supply, after the equipment is completely dry.
– Do not carry out disinfection with UV-, beta- and gamma-rays or other high
energy radiation. – Metal rotors can be autoclaved. – Rotor lid and adapters
can also be autoclaved (max. 121°C, 20 min). – The tube racks are made of PP
and cannot be autoclaved at 134°C.
5.1.2 Cleaning and disinfection of the unit 1. Open the lid before you turn
off the unit. Disconnect it from the power supply. 2. Open the rotor nut by
turning the rotor key counter clockwise. 3. Remove the rotor. 4. For cleaning
and disinfection of the unit and the rotor chamber us e the above mentioned
cleaner. 5. Clean all accessible areas of the device and its accessories,
including the power cord with a damp cloth. 6. Wash the rubber seals and rotor
chamber thoroughly with water. 7. Rub the dry rubber seals with glycerol or
talc to prevent these to becoming brittle. Other components of the
unit, e.g. the lid lock, motor shaft and rotor must not be greased. 8. Dry the
motor shaft with a soft, dry and lint-free cloth. 9. Control the unit and
accessories for damage. Make sure that the centrifuge is turned off the unit
and disconnect the unit from the power supply. Then remove adherent dust from
the ventilation slots in the centrifuge by using a soft brush. Do this at
least every six months.
5.1.3 Cleaning and disinfection of the rotor 1. Clean and disinfect the
rotors, rotor lids and adapters with the above mentioned cleaner. 2. Use a
bottle brush to clean and disinfect the rotor bores. 3. Rinse the rotors,
rotor lid and adapter with clear water. Particularly the drillings of angle
rotors. 4. For drying of the rotors and accessories set them on a towel. Place
the angle rotors with bores down. 5. Dry the rotor cone with a soft, dry and
lint-free cloth and look for damage. Do not grease the rotor cone.
5.1.4 Disinfection of aluminum rotors In case of infectious material spilling
into the centrifuge, the rotor and rotor chamber have to be disinfected
directly after the run. Rotors may be autoclaved at a maximum temperature of
121°C.
5.1.5 Disinfection of PP-rotors Autoclaving The recommended time for
autoclaving: 15 20 min at 121°C (1 bar)
ATTENTION: The sterilization time of 20 min. must not be exceeded. Repeated
sterilization will cause reduction of the mechanical resistance of the plastic
material
Before autoclaving the PP-rotor and adapter must be thoroughly cleaned to
avoid the burning in of dirty residues. You can disregard the consequences of
some chemical residues to plastic materials at ambient temperatures. But at
the high temperatures during autoclaving those residues may corrode and
destroy the plastic. The objects must be thoroughly rinsed with distilled
water after the cleaning but before the autoclaving. Residues of any cleaning
liquids may cause fissures, whitening and stains.
Gas sterilization Adapters, bottles and rotors may be gas sterilized with
Ethylenoxyd. Make sure to air out the items after the sterilization and before
using them again.
ATTENTION: Because the temperature may rise during the sterilization, rotors,
adapters and bottles must not be closed and must be totally unscrewed
FrontierTM Centrifuge FC5714/FC5718/FC5718R/FC5816/FC5816R/FC5916/FC5916R
EN-19
Chemical sterilization Bottles, adapters and rotors may be treated with the
usual liquid disinfectants.
ATTENTION: Before applying any other cleaning or decontamination method than
recommended by the manufacturer, contact the manufacturer to ensure that it
will not damage the unit or the rotor.
5.1.6 Glass breakage With high g-values, the rate of glass tube breakage
increases. Glass splinters have to be removed immediately from rotor, buckets,
adapters and the rotor chamber itself. Fine glass splinters will scratch and
therefore damage the protective surface coating of a rotor. If glass splinters
remain in the rotor chamber, fine metal dust will build up due to air
circulation. This very fine, black metal dust will significantly pollute the
rotor chamber, the rotor, the buckets and the samples. If necessary, replace
the adapters, tubes and accessories to avoid further damage. Check the rotor
bores regularly for residues and damage.
ATTENTION: Please check the relevant specifications of the tubes ce ntrifuges
with the manufacturer.
5.2 Life time of rotors, buckets, accessories Rotors and rotor lid made of
aluminum or stainless steel, have an operating time of max. 7 years from first
use. Transparent rotor lids and caps made of PC or PP as well as rotors, tube
racks and adapters of PP have a maximum operating time up to 3 years from
first use. Condition for the operating time: Proper use damage-free condition,
recommended care.

La FC5714/FC5718/FC5718R/FC5816/FC5816R/FC5916/FC5916R no es a prueba de
explosión y por lo tanto no debe operarse en áreas o lugares con riesgo de
explosión. La centrifugación de sustancias inflamables, explosivas,
radioactivas o similares, que reaccionan en forma química con la energía, está
estrictamente prohibida. La decisión final sobre los riesgos asociados con el
uso de tales sustancias es responsabilidad del usuario de la centrífuga.
Nunca centrifugue material tóxico o patógeno sin las precauciones de seguridad
adecuadas; por ejemplo, la centrifugación de portatubos o tubos cuyo sello
hermético no está presente o es defectuoso está estrictamente prohibida. El
usuario está obligado a implementar procedimientos de desinfección adecuados
en caso de que sustancias peligrosas contaminen la centrífuga o sus
accesorios. Cuando centrifugue sustancias infecciosas, siempre preste atención
a las precauciones generales de laboratorio. ¡Si es necesario, póngase en
contacto con su representante de seguridad!
Se prohíbe operar la centrífuga con rotores que no sean los indicados para
