Operations Manual

- CAUTION Be sure that Rotor speed is not more than maximum

OVERSPEED

rotation speed. Dont be over the maximum speed of

rotor.
When the rotor is given to relative centrifugal force
over the allowed seal intensity, the destruction of rotor
occurs because the shape of rotor is designed to be able
to stand an external force in accordance with the
allowed seal intensity of the rotor.

IMBALANCE
OF CYTO-UNIT

Put samples measured exactly into tube each and load

tubes symmetrically each other in the rotor. If the
volume of opposite sample is different, the serious
turbulence occurs during rotation and a motor, rotor
and shaft are damaged.

When you put the tubes on rotor, those must be loaded

symmetrically

- NOTE FOR SAFETY

POWER ON/OFF

An automatic circuit breaker, for emergency situations, such as

power surges, which could damages the unit, protects instruments
circulation when it is overpowered.

DOOR
When a door opens, the door limit switch by sensor makes the
rotor be still.

IMBALANCE
& VIBRATION

Page 6

If the rotor is operated with imbalance over standard during

rotation, motor is also moved. In this case, the danger is detected
by measuring the vibration of motor. With a alarm imbalance
LED lit up and the rotation stops by preset deceleration time.
Safety device as above keeps the instrument from an accident
during operators absence in lab.

2. NOTE FOR INSTALLATION

Location
BEST LOCATION
The rotating instrument should be set on the flat and solid
surface. In the case of setting the instrument at the incline
surface, it is possible the shaft become bent by the heavy
weight rotor because of a long time of rotation in inclining of
the shaft and ground.

AIR CIRCULATION
For the circulation of air, the space of at least 30 cm must be
needed from the centrifuge during operation. Avoid to set it
on the dusty place.

TEMPERATURE, HUMIDITY
The centrifuge which is controlled by a high-tech
microprocessor is affected by the external conditions such as
temperature or humidity. If a room temperature is extremely
high by the direct ray of light or heater, or very low, the
accuracy and reliance of instrument are reduced by errors of
electronic parts. On top of that the high humidity makes the
corrosion of rotor or parts. A proper temperature and
humidity should be maintained accordingly.

THE PLACE NOT

TO OCCUR
CORROSIVE GAS

Operations Manual

Place the centrifuge at the place which the corrosive gas cant
occur. If there is sulfur dioxide or chlorine gas in atmosphere, it
causes a corrosion of rotor and shaft, and cause great damage of
metals.

BALANCE
BALANCING
The shaft has to be perpendicular to the ground.

ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
P O W E R
The standard power requirements are a single phase and
220V but those are changeable depending on Users request.
Therefore, plug in after checking the name plate located on
the rear panel. Be sure not to be three phases.

- PROGRAM FUNCTION -

Speed(RPM)

When you set the desired speed, press the RPM key and set it by
the up-down direction key. After that, press the Enter key.
It is not possible to input higher speed than max.speed.
This is to prevent the accident by overspeed.

RCF (x g)

To calculate the Relative Centrifugal Force, it is made to calculate

automatically RCF to Speed by using the Maximum Radius.
RPM and RCF are calculated mutually so if RPM is input, RCF is
calculated automatically and if reversely is same like above.
It is like either during operation.

- SETTING-

Press the RCF key and input the data by using up-down direction key.
After that, press the Enter key.

TIME

The display range of time is 99mins and shows the 2 digits.

The change of time counts down from setting time after running.
Timer is proceeding by a unit of 1 minute and under 1 minute is used
with a unit of second.

-SETTING-

Press the TIME key.

When Alarm sounds, it is possible to set.
Input the desired time by using the up-down direction key.
If you input the wrong data, Press T key and re-input the correct data.

z Free run : You can use the Free run function for long time
Operation. For that, input the 0 in display of time
and start to run.

3 Steps : High, Middle, Low

Press the Brake key.

Whenever the brake key is pressed, the lamp of H, M, L light on and the
level of brake is changed.

PROGRAM SAVE

10 Programs all can be saved and the range is 0 to 9.

The data of RPM/Time, etc are saved in Program function.

- SETTING-

The desired data should be input by up-down key.

If press the program, the lamp of P key lights on with sound and
press Enter.

CALLING
The program saved between 0 to 9 can be called.

-SETTING-

Press the Program key to call the program saved before.

When the lamp lights on P key with alarm, press the P again and turn
off the lamp and alarm. After that, input the number to be called by up-

down direction key and press the Enter key. At that time, the data of
the pertinent program is showed.

IMBALANCE

When the rotor loses the balance of normal standard and vibrates
seriously,
Imbalance LED turns on with the alarm and stops according to Decel
Time as a pre-input.

DOOR
To open the door, turn the dial on the right side of the instrument.
When the door closes, Door lights off and when the door opens, the
Door lights on.

5. MAINTENACE
This chapter explains how to keep your unit in good operating order.
It includes instructions for cleaning, decontaminating and storing. This chapter also covers the cover
interlock by pass.

Care and cleaning

Keep your centrifuge cleans, to ensure good operation, and to extend its life.
Clean the sample chamber, rotor and lid at the end of each works day and immediately after any spill. To
clean the chamber, use a damp sponge, warm water, and a mild liquid detergent, suitable for washing
dishes by hand. Dont use caustic detergents or detergents that contain chlorine ions. These attack metals.
Remove stubborn stains with a plastic scrub pad. Dont use steel wool, wire brushes, abrasives, or
sandpaper. They create corrosion sites. Never pour water directly into the rotor chamber. Scrub the rotors
tube cavities with a stiff test tube brush that has end bristles and a non-metallic tip. Dry each part, after
cleaning, with a clean, absorbent towel.
If glass breakage occurs, remove all broken glass embed in the plastic or rubber accessories.
Glass particles can come in contact with new glass tubes, creating pressure points that may results in
breakage recurring. Glass particles, in the chamber, grind to a fine gray dust, during centrifugation.
This dust can coat the inside of the centrifuge.

Storage
Store parts on a soft surface, to avoid damage.
Rotors and other parts should be clean and dry. Store them opened to the air, not in a plastic bag, so
that any residual moisture evaporates. Face the parts upward to avoid moisture retention in the cavities.
