Setting the centrifugation radius

If an adapter for tubes is used in a rotor, this changes the centrifugation radius. In the

RAD

menu item, the

parameter for the tube/adapter combination has to be set.

Prerequisites

• Rotor is inserted.
• The centrifuge has detected the rotor (see Automatic rotor detection on p. 27).

1. Press the menu/enter key.

2. Select the

RAD

menu item using the arrow key. Confirm with the menu/enter key.

In the

RAD

menu item, the parameters for the rotor-specific tube/adapter combination are available.

3. Select the parameters for the tube/adapter combination using the arrow key. Confirm with the menu/

enter key.

The display shows the g-force for the rotor/adapter combination used in the rotor.

5.6.5

After centrifugation

If the centrifuge is temporarily not used, carry out the following steps. Please also observe the care
instructions (see p. 39).

Turn the rotor nut counterclockwise using the supplied rotor key.

Remove the rotor by lifting it vertically.

Empty the condensation water tray.

Leave the centrifuge lid open.

Standby mode

The centrifuge switches to the standby mode when the following prerequisites are met:

• Centrifuge lid is open: centrifuge has not been used for 15

min.

The centrifuge lid is closed: continuous cooling was stopped (see Continuous cooling on p. 32).

In the Standby mode, the following applies :

• The display shows

EP

.

• The rotor chamber is not cooled .

Press any key to end the standby mode.

Default setting: If the centrifugation speed is only controlled using the g-force

(rcf),

the

centrifuge calculates the g-force for the largest radius of the rotor used.

If start centrifuging immediately has not been used for 15 min, it switches to standby.

EP

appears in the display.
