”Quick Run”
For short-term operation, the Legend™ is equipped
with a "Quick Run" function
.
Short-term centrifugation is started by pressing the
"quick run" key
continuously; it stops as soon as
the key is released.
In this mode the centrifuge accelerates with full
power up to the maximum speed. The set speed or
RCF is ignored in this case.
Depending on the rotor, the centri-
fuge accelerates to the maximum
speed!
Check carefully whether you have
to maintain a specific speed for
your application.
During acceleration the time is counted forward in
seconds. The display remains until the centrifuge lid
is opened.
Removing the rotor
1. Open the centrifuge lid.
2. Remove the rotor cover.
3. Unscrew the clamping sleeve counterclockwise
using the socket wrench supplied with the instru-
ment until no resistance exists.
4. Grab the rotor with both hands and pull it perpen-
dicularly off the drive shaft carefully. Make sure
not to tilt it.
Grab rotor with both hands and pull
upwards perpendicularly .
When using an aerosol-tight bio-containment cover,
you may remove the respective rotor from the drive
shaft without opening the cover! You may then open
the rotor e.g. in a safety work bench and decontami-
nate it.
