5.2. Dismantling the rotor
Open the lid.
2.Grab the red wheel on top of the rotor and turn it
counterclockwise while holding the rotor firmly. Once you
hear a “click” sound, the rotor is unlocked
1. 3.Grab and lift the rotor with both hands once it’s unlocked.
Set the rotor on a flat surface or on one of AFI Centrifuge’s
rotor stand.
5.3. Limiting the duration of operation
The use of accessories and the rotors is limited in time to ensure the integrity of their mechanical strength.
These limits are marked on the accessories.
When there is only 2,000 cycles left before the end of the
theoretical life time of the rotor, this screen will be displayed. It
shows the amount of cycles left before the rotor should stop
being used (rotor and buckets). This value will decrease by 1
each time the rotor is being used.
You can still use the centrifuge, but only as long as the value is
higher than 0. Anticipate the purchase of a new set of rotor +
buckets in the near future.
Once the rotor has reached the end of its theoretical life time,
the screen will inform you that the rotor cannot be used.
The rotor and buckets are obsolete and have to be replaced
promptly. A certified technician has to configure the centrifuge
for the new rotor.
