4.2 Censlide 2000 Centrifuge Calibration
The CenSlide 2000 Centrifuge uses microprocessor
technology to monitor the speed (rpm) and timing to
ensure the accuracy of each test. No initial rpm calibration
is required. The rpm can be independently checked with
a photoelectric tachometer available from many sources.
To check the rpm:
1. Insert six (6) water-filled CenSlide tubes into the rotor.
2. Position the tachometer beam so it shines through the
sight hole located at the top of the centrifuge cover.
3. Turn the tachometer on.
4. Press the start button, wait 15 seconds
and record the rpm.
