Resetting the cycle counter
The centrifuge is equipped with a cycle counter. The cycle counter counts
the run cycles (centrifugation cycles). The remaining number of run cycles
(centrifugation runs) is displayed briey after each centrifugation run.
If the maximum permissible number of rotor run cycles entered is
exceeded,
‘Cycles passed’
is displayed after each start of a centrifugation
run. The centrifugation run must be restarted. The rotor must be replaced
with a new one.
Once the rotor has been replaced, the cycle counter must be reset to
‘0’
.
The cycle counter must be reset to
‘0’
after installing a new rotor.
