This button stops the run, and unlocks the cover when the
rotor has slowed to below 150 rpm. (A run will also stop
automatically when the set time has elapsed or the
momentary run button is released.) The red light will flash
as an indication that the rotor is still slowing down
(braking). When the run ends, the red light stays on,
indicating that the rotor has stopped and the cover can be
opened
.
The centrifuge will run up to set speed while this button is
pressed, and stop when it is released.
2.6 Refrigeration (RF only)
Models 3592, 3593, 3594 and 3596 are refrigerated
models. Whenever the cover of one of these units is
closed and the unit is switched ON, the refrigeration
system begins to cool the rotor chamber to the set
temperature.
Note: The unit is not designed for use as a refrigerator.
The natural fanning action of rotor serves to maintain a
uniform temperature distribution inside the chamber.
Therefore, at zero RPM, there is no correlation between
set and actual chamber temperatures
.
If a run begins and the rotor chamber is not at the specified
temperature, the run will not be aborted. If desired, press
STOP to discontinue the run and pre-cool the chamber by
spinning the rotor (empty) until you are satisfied with the
temperature
.
If a temperature higher than ambient is specified, the units
will not heat the rotor chamber except through the normal
heating effect of the equipment (friction and motor heat).
Remove frost or condensation from the rotor chamber by
first allowing it to melt and then removing it with a sponge
or cloth. When a centrifuge is not in use, turn it off or leave
the cover open (disables refrigeration).
