Level 1 (M I) Level 2 (M 2) Function Display
SOFT
Soft ramp: Reduce speed of
acceleration and braking ramp. Not
used for short spin centrifugation.
On Rotor accelerates and brakes slowly.
OFF Rotor accelerates and brakes rapidly.
LOCK
Key lock: Set the current
centrifugation parameters
permanently to prevent the time,
temperature (only 5424 R)
g-force (rcf) or speed (rpm) from
being unintentionally modified.
On Set the centrifugation parameters
permanently. When you select the keys
time, temp (only 5424 R) and speed, the
display shows SAFE.
OFF
ATSET
Set start of centrifuging run time.
On The set time is counted down only once
95% of the specified g-force (rcf) or
speed (rpm) has been reached.
OFF The set time is counted down
immediately.
SHORT
Before the start of a short run (see
Short-spin centrifugation on p. 32) it is
possible to switch between the
maximum and currently set
g-force (rcf) or speed (rpm). The
SOFT function is not used for short
spin centrifugation.
MAX Short spin run at maximum g-force (rcf)
or speed (rpm) of the rotor used.
Set Short run at set g-force (rcf) or
speed (rpm).
TEMP(only 5424 R)
Set the time limit for continuous
cooling (see p. 29).
8 h Preset value.
oo Endless operation of continuous cooling.
Icing possible! Note that this may reduce
the service life of the compressor.
ALARM On Switch on loudspeaker.
OFF Switch off loudspeaker.
