5.3.4 Rotor Preselection
The centrifuge SIGMA 2-16P is equipped with an automatic rotor identification
system. After the installation of the rotor, the rotor ID will be displayed. It is also
possible to manually preselect the rotor. This is only possible at a standstill.
To select a rotor:
• Turn the left rotary knob until “set” appears in front of the option “Rotor” on
the display (Fig. 5.15).
• Select the option by pressing or turning the right rotary knob. "Set" will now
flash.
• Turn the right rotary knob until the desired rotor number is displayed.
• Press the right rotary knob to confirm the input. If this is not done, the value
will be automatically reset to the last setting.
) Attention – special case!!!
If the rotors 12072 or 12107 are not preselected, rotor 12073 will be automatically
displayed for rotor 12072, and rotor 12133 for rotor 12107.
This setting does not cause any problems fort he centrifugation since the
suggested rotors have the same maximum speed.
