5.4 Centrifuging
Each of the centrifuging variants described here must be preceded by the preparation described
above (see Preparing for centrifugation on p. 51).
5.4.1 Centrifuging with preset time
Perform the following steps in the sequence described.
CAUTION!
Risk from incorrectly-loaded rotors and damaged/overloaded tubes!
 Before commencing centrifugation, follow the safety instructions relating to risks from
asymmetrically loaded and/or overloaded rotors and from overloaded, damaged and/or open
tubes (see Warnings for intended use on p. 43).
WARNING!
Risk of injury from improperly attached rotors, rotor lids and caps.
 Only centrifuge with firmly tightened rotor and rotor lid as well as with inserted carriers,
buckets and correctly closed caps.
 If unusual noises occur when the centrifuge starts, the rotor, the rotor lid or a cap may not be
properly secured. Immediately press the start/stop key to stop centrifuging.
1. Speed (rpm) setting: press once. g-force (rcf) setting: press repeatedly until the
symbol additionally appears in the display.
The displayed g-force (rcf)/speed (rpm) flashes and can be set with the arrow keys.
For the g-force (rcf) setting also check the set radius (see Rotors on p. 13),
(see Setting the radius on p. 60).
2. Use the arrow keys to set the g-force (rcf)/speed (rpm).
The new set value appears in the display.
3. Select the runtime setting and set it with the arrow keys.
4. Only 5804 R/5810 R: Select the temperature setting and set it with the arrow keys.
5. Start centrifugation.
• blinks in the display when the rotor is running.
• Only 5804 R/5810 R: The current temperature is displayed.
• The current g-force (rcf)/speed (rpm) of the rotor is displayed.
• You can display all set values for 2.5 s by pressing a parameter key (Temp, Speed,
Time).
• You can terminate centrifugation early by pressing the start/stop key.
• After completion of the set time, the centrifuge stops automatically.
• During braking the elapsed centrifugation time is displayed flashing.
6. Open the centrifuge lid as soon as the key lights up.
Hint!
During the run you can modify the total run time, the temperature (only Centrifuge 5804 R/
5810 R) and the g-force (rcf)/speed (rpm) as well as the acceleration time and the braking time.
The new parameters are adopted immediately. The time which has already elapsed is considered
in the newly set total run time. Note that the shortest new total runtime which can be set is the
time which has already elapsed plus 2 minutes.
