NOTE Selecting BRAKE OFF will affect SLOW STOP.
• BRAKE OFF deactivates normal braking for a coasting stop
from a user-specified transition speed.
• Automatic sample temperature calculation considers the run
speed, run time, set temperature and measured chamber tempera-
ture to estimate and maintain sample temperature.
• Automatic self-test performed by the microcomputer each time
the centrifuge power is turned on, to ensure proper performance.
• Automatic diagnostics, so that if a system malfunction occurs, a
message appears in the SET display to alert you of the condition.

* With sample, rotor, and chamber temperatures equal to SET temperature at the start of the run, or, during a run, after those components reach
equilibrium. Control range is reduced if run speed/ run time/set temperature/ambient temperature variables combine to create an extreme condition
beyond the temperature control system capacity.
** Measured 3 feet from the front panel at a height of four feet using an H-12000 rotor at its top speed of 4700 rpm.
