START and STOP Keys
The green START key is used to start the centrifuge run. When the
START key is pressed, the green LED status indicator on the key will
blink until the rotor begins to spin (which could take up to 20 seconds
if SLOW START is selected). Once the rotor starts spinning, the light
on the key will remain ON through run termination (during
deceleration) until the rotor stops spinning and door unlocks. Pressing
START when a run is in progress resets run duration.
The red STOP key is used to terminate a run. When stop is pressed (or
whenever a run terminates and deceleration begins), the red LED
status indicator light on the key will be ON, and will remain ON until
the rotor stops spinning and door unlocks. When that happens, the
indicator light is turned OFF, and "End" will appear in the RUN
Temperature display to prompt the user to open the chamber door and
remove sample.
NOTE The START and STOP keys are usable only when the
HOME screen is in the SET display. If any other screen
is in the display, the keys are disabled.
