3. Close the cover. A clicking sound will be heard when it is closed properly.
4. Switch on the unit connected to the power supply using the I/O button on
the back of the unit. The rotor will start to rotate.
5. Note: During the first 2-3 minutes of operation, a slight rubbing sound may
be heard.
6. The value of the maximum centrifugal force (RCF) can be determined from
the following formula:
RCF= 11.18* (n/1000) *2r
Where:
r - radius of the centrifuge expressed in cm
n - centrifuge rotational speed in rpm
7. In order to stop the unit set the I/O button in position "O" or press the
button of opening the cover (the cover will open only after braking the
rotor).
After the rotor has stopped, you can open the cover and take out the
centrifuged test tubes.
8.
Disconnect the unit from the power source when not in use.

again.
d)
Store the unit in a dry and cool place protected from moisture and direct
sunlight.
e)
Do not spray the unit with a stream of water or immerse it in water.
f)
Make sure that no water enters through the ventilation openings in the casing.
g)
Clean the ventilation openings with a brush and compressed air.
h)
Perform regular inspections of the unit checking technical fitness and any
damages.
i)
Use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning.
j)
Do not use sharp and/or metal objects (e.g. a wire brush or metal spatula) for
cleaning, as these may damage the surface of the material from which the
unit is made.
k)
Do not clean the unit with acidic substances, medical products, diluent, fuel,
oil or other chemicals as this may cause damage to the unit.
l)
