ROTOR INSTALLATION

ROTOR INSTALLATION
The rotor of the centrifuge is pre-installed. In case of any spillage, remove the rotor as
shown in the above figure to clean the rotor and its chamber thoroughly.
9.1 REMOVING ROTOR

1. To remove rotor, first remove the Tube Holders.
2. Using T-Allen key, loosen the rotor nut by rotating rotor nut counter clockwise and take the out rotor vertically

9.2 INSTALLING THE ROTOR

1.  Make sure the rotor shaft and the rotor mounting hole are clean. Load the rotor vertically into the motor shaft.
2. Put the T-Allen key in the rotor nut & turn clockwise to tighten the rotor.
3. After properly fastening the rotor, place the Tube Holders into the rotor.

BALANCING THE ROTOR

1. Always balance the rotor before centrifugation Symmetrical loading of tubes in the rotor is necessary. Otherwise vibration or imbalance can occur which can cause serious damage to the centrifuge. The following are process of symmetrical loading of centrifuge tubes inside the rotor.
2. The samples in the tubes should be of equal volume. To achieve a balanced condition of the 6 “Tube Holders are mandatory to place inside the rotor whether 2, 3, 4 or 6 / 8 tubes are being used
3. If the tubes are not loaded symmetrically then the imbalance detector will cut off the running centrifuge for safety reasons. This will stop the centrifuge and Err 55 will be seen indicating the tubes are not loaded symmetrically. To resume operation, load the tubes symmetrically & restart the centrifuge.
4. Below are examples of incorrect method of loading tubes into the centrifuge rotor.

OPERATION

After properly installing the centrifuge, switch ON the centrifuge from the rear side by pressing the power switch. The lid status will be seen in the display. If the lid is open,
the display will show “Lid” and if it is closed, the set RPM will be displayed. Please ensure that the Tube Holders are inside the rotor.

11.1 SETTING THE SPEED AND TIME

1. To set the speed press the RPM/RCF button first, then with the use of increment & decrement buttons to set the desired speed.
2. The increase and decrease of speed will take place in the steps of 10 RPM. The Display window at the bottom will show the values.
3. The minimum and maximum speed of the centrifuge is 500 RPM and 6500 RPM respectively. Speed is to be read as value x 10 in the display window.
4. The speed can be changed during the operation of the centrifuge, upon changing the speed, centrifuge will start running on the updated speed for the remaining time left on the centrifuge cycle.
5. To set time press the TIME button first, then use INCREMENT and DECREMENT buttons time can be set as desired time. The set time will be displayed in the display window at the bottom.
6. The time range in this centrifuge allows user to choose between 1 min & 30 minutes & infinite mode. Infinity mode displayed as ][.
7. The centrifuge incorporates a count down timer, after each minute of operation the value of the timer is reduced by 1 minute.
   NOTE: Centrifuge will not run with the lid open.

11.2 SWITCHING TO RCF DISPLAY
