Controls, Indicators, and Displays
3-3
Between runs, the RUN display shows the previous run duration
value, viewable in each control mode:
– TIME shows the MIN:SEC value at termination (the SET
display shows the last TIME input value).
– HOLD shows the MIN:SEC value after deceleration to zero.
– After an ACE controlled run, ACE shows the total ACE value
after deceleration to 0 (the SET display shows the termination
value). If the previous run was not controlled by ACE, pressing
ACE shows the ACE value at termination (the SET display
shows the last ACE input value).
• The run TEMPERATURE (°C) field indicates the current
calculated sample temperature in degrees Celsius, based on rotor
selected, rotor speed, run time, set temperature, and measured
temperature (the calculation assumes that the sample temperature,
rotor temperature, and SET temperature are all equal at the start
of the run).
SET Display
The SET display is a 2-line LCD array located at the top of the
control panel. The SET display is used to input and display basic
run parameters, to select options or other advanced features, and
to display advisory messages. The display's contents are referred
to in this manual as a screen; for example, the HOME screen
(described below) displays basic run parameters that correspond
to the (Primary Function) keys below the display.
• The HOME screen (pictured above) displays currently selected
values for the basic run parameters: ROTOR, SPEED/RCF,
TIMED/HOLD/ACE, DEG C and, if displaying a recalled
program, PROG #. The HOME screen appears in the SET display
after the centrifuge power has been set ON and the diagnostic test
has been completed. In addition, if MENU is pressed to access
the options screens, pressing MENU again will return the HOME
screen to the display.
The SET display is the primary interactive screen on the control
panel, and has a role in all aspects of centrifuge use. Following is
a detailed description of all HOME Screen fields as they relate to
the Primary Function Key functionality, followed by option
selection screens and advanced feature functionality. At the end of
this chapter is a listing of the SET Display advisory messages,
what they mean, and recommended action.
