Operation
Centrifuge 5424/5424 R
English (EN)
5.6.1 Centrifugation with time setting
Perform the following steps in the sequence described.
1. Use time to set the run time.
2. Only 5424 R: Use temp to set the temperature.
3. Use speed to set the g-force (rcf) or speed (rpm).
4. Press start/stop to start centrifuging.
During centrifugation:
• In the display flashes while the rotor is running.
• Only 5424 R: The current temperature will be displayed.
•The fast temp (only 5424 R), open, short as well as the device menu are blocked during
centrifugation.
• During the run you can modify the total run time, the temperature (only 5424 R), the speed and the
rpm/rcf display.
The values flash in the display during the change. The new parameters are adopted immediately.
When the time is changed during a run, the time which has already elapsed is taken into account.
Please note that the shortest new total run time that can be set is the elapsed time plus 2 minutes.
• You can also terminate the centrifugation before the set run time has elapsed by pressing the start/
stop key.
End of centrifugation
• The centrifuge automatically stops after the set time has elapsed. The elapsed centrifugation will be
shown in a blinking display during the braking process. A signal tone sounds when the rotor is at a
standstill.
• Only 5424: The centrifuge lid opens automatically. The display shows the symbol .
• Only 5424 R: The centrifuge lid remains closed to maintain the sample temperature. You can open it
by pressing the open key.
5. Remove the material for centrifuging.
5.6.2 Centrifuging in continuous operation
Perform the following steps in the sequence described.
1. Use time to set the continuous run.
The continuous run function can be set above 9:59 h or below 30 s. The timer shows oo to indicate
continuous operation.
2. Only 5424 R: Use the temp arrow keys to adjust the temperature.
3. Use speed to set the g-force (rcf) or speed (rpm).
4. Press start/stop to start centrifuging.
In the display flashes while the rotor is running.
Time is counted upwards, first in 30-second increments (5424) or second increments (5424 R) and then
in minute increments from ten minutes.
5. Press start/stop to end centrifuging after the desired time period.
