Front of the Centrifuge 5702 RH is structurally identical to that of the 5702 R
For the Centrifuge 5702 R / 5702 RH only:
When fitting the rotor, follow the marking triangles on each side of the rotor nut
. They indicate the direction of the
groove on the underside of the rotor, and are needed to position the rotor safely.
To insert the rotor rotate the driver pin of the motor shift longitudinally.
Fit the rotor onto the motor shaft so the marking triangles point in the same direction as the motor shaft driver pin. Tighten
the rotor nut by turning them clockwise using the rotor key supplied. If the rotor nut does not tighten easily, check whether
the rotor has caught on the motor shaft driver pin.
To release the rotor turn the rotor nut anticlockwise using the rotor key.
The rotors and buckets (round and rectangular) must be loaded symmetrically. The adapters must be loaded only with the
specified tubes. Minimize the difference in weight between the filled sample tubes. This will reduce wear on the drive and
cut running noise. The centrifuges 5702 / 5702 R / 5702 RH have an automatic imbalance detector, which shuts down the
centrifuge if the weight differences are excessive. This is indicated by the error message "Inb" in the display.
The maximum weight for a fully loaded bucket is indicated on each rotor.
