(Figure 3Z).
NOTE: The instrument lid is locked during operation.
CAUTION: The process time is selectable from 0
minute and 1 second to 99 minutes and 59 seconds.

the rotation speed reaches the set value and is
stable.

displayed in the window. The operation, however, cannot
be restarted with the time left. When the lid is opened, the
instrument returns to the standby mode and resets the
displayed time to zero.

instrument (Figure 3AA).
