5.8 Centrifugation
Prerequisites:
• The centrifuge is switched on.
• The rotor has been inserted and attached correctly.
• The rotor has been loaded correctly.
•Buckets can freely swing out.
• The centrifuge lid is closed.
5.8.1 Centrifugation with time setting
5.8.1.1 Setting the centrifugation parameters
Setting the centrifugation parameters
1. Use the rotary knob time to set the centrifugation time.
2. Centrifuge 5702 R, Centrifuge 5702 RH: Use the temp arrow keys to set the temperature.
3. Use the rotary knob speed to set the speed of centrifugation.
Starting the centrifugation run
4. Press the rotary knob time to start the centrifugation run.
Display during centrifugation
• blinks in the display when the rotor is running.
• Remaining run time in minutes. The last minute is counted down in seconds.
• Centrifuge 5702 R, Centrifuge 5702 RH: Actual temperature in the rotor chamber
•Current g-force (rcf) and/or rotational speed (rpm).
Modifying parameters during the cycle
5. To modify the following centrifugation parameters during the run, briefly press the short key.
The display flashes.
WARNING! Risk of injury from improperly attached rotors and rotor lids.
Only centrifuge with rotor and rotor lid firmly tightened.
If there are any unusual noises when the centrifuge is started up, the rotor or rotor lid may
not be properly attached. Immediately press the start/stop key to stop centrifuging.
During the run you can change the following parameters:
• Centrifugation time
The shortest new run time that can be set must be 2 min above the elapsed time.
• Centrifuge 5702 R, Centrifuge 5702 RH: Temperature
• Centrifugation speed
During the run you can use rotary knob speed to switch between the display of the g-force
and the rotational speed.
The modified centrifugation parameters are adopted after 5 s.
