5. Set the unit parameters:
rotation speed
•
Press MENU button (B), the speed value indication will start flashing, use
buttons (C) and (D) to set the speed value.
Caution: The value indicated on the display should be multiplied x10 to
obtain the real speed value
•
spin time
Press Menu button once or twice depending on the preferred time unit -
seconds or minutes. Using buttons (C) and (D) set the speed value.
6. The maximum centrifugal force (RCF) value can be determined from the
formula below:
RCF= 11.18* (n/1000) *2r
Where:
r - radius of the centrifuge expressed in cm
n- centrifuge rotational speed in rpm
7. Press Start/Stop (E) button to start the unit. Caution: During the first start a
slight friction sound can be heard for the first 2-3 minutes.
8. If error E3 appears on the machine display check if the cover is properly
closed.
