1 Introduction

Introduction
The Centrifuges 5804 / 5810 are non-refrigerated bench-top centrifuges and the Centrifuges 5804 R / 5810 R are
refrigerated bench-top centrifuges. The Centrifuges 5804 / 5804 R / 5810 / 5810 R are intended exclusively for use
indoors and are for separating aqueous solutions and suspensions of differing density in approved test tubes.
The 5804 / 5804 R models have a maximum capacity of 400 ml and the 5810 / 5810 R models have a maximum capacity
of 1600 ml.
This sign is found on your centrifuge and on several pages in the operating manual.
Texts labeled with this sign contain safety notes. Read these safety precautions before using the
centrifuge for the first time.
Before starting up the Centrifuges 5804 / 5810 and 5804 R / 5810 R for the first time, please read the instruction
manual.
1.1 Delivery package
1 Centrifuge 5804 / 5810 with fan cooling or 1 refrigerated Centrifuge 5804 R / 5810 R (rotor not included with
centrifuges)
1 Main power cable (European standard plug)
1 Instruction manual
1 Rotor key
1.2 Unpack
When the machines are removed from the packaging, they must be supported by two persons near the rubber feet at the
bottom on the left- and right-hand side and then carried the short distance to the lab bench. Please observe the weightbearing capacity of the bench. If the machines are to be transported over long distances in the lab, a trolley must be
used.
1.3 Installing the device
For 5804 R and 5810 R only: To avoid damage to the compressor caused by incorrect transportation,
wait four hours after installation before switching on the device.
To disconnect the centrifuge from the power supply in the event of an error, an emergency switch must be installed away
from the centrifuge, preferably outside the centrifugation room or next to the exit of this room.
Place the centrifuge onto a horizontal, stable and resonance-free work surface.
Ensure that the working environment is well-ventilated and not exposed to direct sunlight.
There should be 15 cm clearance at the sides of the centrifuge and 10 cm to the rear.
According to the regulations of the EN 61010-2-020 standard, a safety distance of 30 cm must be observed around
the centrifuge during operation. No objects which cause damage when destroyed must be positioned in this space.
Before plugging in the centrifuge, compare your power supply with the electrical requirements listed on the identification plate.
The mains cable of the centrifuge may be connected only to a socket with a protective conductor.
On refrigerated centrifuges 5804 R and 5810 R with a mains voltage of 120 V, a distinction is made between two
versions depending on requirements: the 15 A variant is equipped with a conventional IEC power cable (see Fig. 3) so
that these devices can be operated directly at the lab work-station using a conventional socket (120 V, 15 A).
However, this causes a drop in the cooling performance of this kind of device. This technical specification leads to a
rise in the lowest temperature which can be reached at maximum speed and to slower cooling down to the specified
value.
1 Introduction

Introduction
Fig. 3: 15 A IEC power cable
Fig. 4: 20 A standard variant
On the 20 A standard variant, by contrast, the power cable is permanently attached to the device (see Fig. 4). These
devices have a special 20 A plug and require the appropriate socket to guarantee the supply of current and voltage
required for the centrifuges (120 V, 20 A). The advantage is greater, more rapid cooling.
To switch on the centrifuge, press the mains switch (on the right-hand side of the device). The nominal values of the
test run appear in the display and the control lamp in the Open key lights up.
The centrifuge lid can be opened by pressing the Open key.
Please insert the rotor before starting and tighten it with the supplied rotor key.
The rotors A-4-81 and A-4-81-MTP are tightened with the special rotor key included in the rotor delivery package.
2 Safety regulations and applicational limitations

2
In the interests of your own personal safety, always observe the following regulations:
The rotor and the rotor cover must always be securely fastened.
Safety regulations and applicational limitations
Do not begin centrifugation before the rotor has been securely fastened.
The rotor must be loaded symmetrically. Opposing tubes should be of the same type and should be filled equally.
For reasons of mechanical stabilization, all positions of rotor A-4-44 and A-4-62 / A-4-62-MTP must be loaded with
buckets of the same type.
Prior to centrifugation, the tubes should in any case be visually inspected for material damage. Damaged tubes may not
be centrifuged. This is because broken tubes can, in addition to sample loss, result in further damage to the centrifuge
and accessories.
Do not use buckets and rotors which show clear signs of corrosion or mechanical defects. Please check accessories at
regular intervals.
Do not operate centrifuges which have not been correctly installed or repaired.
Do not move or knock against the centrifuge during operation.
Repairs must only be performed by an Eppendorf authorized service technician.
Only use original rotors and spare parts recommended by Eppendorf.
The Centrifuges 5804 / 5810 and 5804 R / 5810 R may only be used for special applications. They must not be operated
in a hazardous or flammable environment and must not be used to centrifuge explosive or highly reactive substances.
If such liquids are spilled in the rotor or rotor chamber, the centrifuge must be cleaned with a moist cloth and a mild soap
solution.
A liquid density of 1.2 g/ccm must not be exceeded at the maximum rotational speed.
During longer spin times in the 5804 / 5810 models, the sample tubes may heat up. Observe the limiting data specified
by the tube manufacturer.
The use of organic solvents (e.g. chloroform) may have an adverse effect on the stability of plastic test tubes.
Following operation in a cooling room, run the centrifuge for 30 minutes in the cooling room until it is warm. Alternatively,
allow it to warm up in a lab for at least three hours, but do not plug in the centrifuge in order to prevent damage caused
by condensation.
Rotors are high-grade components which are subject to extreme mechanical strain. Aluminium rotors are protected
against corrosion caused by commonly-used laboratory chemicals by means of an electrolytic coating, although this
protection cannot be fully guaranteed.
Please ensure that the rotor is protected from mechanical damage. Even slight scratches and cracks can cause severe
inner damage to the rotor materials, which are difficult or impossible to detect with the eye.
Please avoid using aggressive chemicals with the rotors. Such chemicals include concentrated and mild alkalis,
concentrated acids, solutions containing mercury ions, copper ions and other heavy-metal ions, chlorinated
hydrocarbons and concentrated saline solutions.
When handling toxic or radioactive liquids or pathogenic bacteria out of Risk Group II (see World Health Organization:
"Laboratory Biosafety Manual"), observe national regulations.
In the event of contamination caused by impurities or aggressive agents, the rotor must be cleaned immediately using a
neutral cleaning liquid. This is particularly important for the bores of the fixed-angle rotor and for the buckets.
Please clean your rotor regularly using a neutral cleaning liquid (e.g. Extran neutral or RBS neutral). This will protect the
rotor and prolong its service life.
According to EN 55011, the centrifuges 5804/5804 R and 5810/5810 R are Class A products. Interference with
signal reception can occur in residential areas. The operator should take appropriate protective measures.

Contact with organic solvents (e.g. phenol, chloroform) may have an adverse effect on the transparent (polycarbonate)
caps of the aerosol-tight rotors. Please check lids of this type regularly for chemical damage or for cracks. Cracked caps
or caps with a milky discoloration must be replaced immediately.
Do not use rotors, caps or buckets which have been subjected to chemical or mechanical damage
or which have exceeded their maximum operating life!

3.2 Mounting / dismounting the rotors
A summary of the various different rotors can be found in the brochure.
Clean the motor axle and the rotor bores with a cloth before attaching the rotor.
When fastening / loosening the rotor onto / from the motor axle, ensure that the temperature of the rotor and the
motor axle is between 10 C and 30 C.
Mount the rotor onto the motor axle and tighten the rotor nut by turning clockwise using the appropriate rotor key
supplied.
To dismount the rotor, turn the rotor nut counterclockwise using the rotor key.
When the rotors are not in the centrifuge, please place them in the rotor stand (Order no. 5804 720.008).
Do not centrifuge using rotors and buckets with visible corrosion or mechanical defects (see Chapter 2: Safety regulations and applicational limitations ).
The Centrifuges 5804 / 5810 and 5804 R / 5810 R have automatic rotational speed limitation.
3.3 Rotor lid F-45-30-11
The non-aerosol-tight rotor lid of the rotor F-45-30-11 is attached by pressing the lid onto the rotor. The rotor lid need not
be screwed tight.
3.4 Loading the rotors
The rotors and buckets must always be loaded symmetrically. The adapters may only be loaded with the test tubes
recommended.
Differences in the weight of the filled sample tubes should be kept as low as possible in order to prolong the life-time of
the drive and to minimize running noises caused by imbalance.
On each rotor you will find information concerning the maximum weight of a completely loaded bucket (bucket
including adapter, tubes and liquid or titer plate buckets including titer plate and liquid) (see also applicational
limitations).

Please check whether all buckets have been inserted correctly and can swing freely.
For purposes of mechanical stabilization, all positions of the rotors A-4-44 and A4-62 / A-4-62-MTP must be loaded with
the same buckets. In contrast, the rotor A-4-81 / A-4-81-MTP can be equipped with a mix of rectangular buckets and
titer plate buckets. It is in principle not permitted to use swing-bucket rotors with only two rectangular buckets or titer
plate buckets inserted.
Fig. 5: Rotor A-4-81-MTP symmetrically

loaded
Fig. 6: Not allowed, because the pegs are not evenly

loades, rotor is asymmetrically loades
The rectangular buckets are sorted according to weight. The weight category is printed on the side in the groove:
e.g. 86 (the last two places in grammes). Opposing buckets should be of the same weight category. When placing
follow-up orders, please state the weight category. This also applies to titer plate buckets.
Ensure that the grooves are clean before inserting the buckets. Unclean grooves and pivots prevent the buckets from
swinging freely.
When working with a rotor which is not completely loaded, position the tubes within the buckets in such a way that the
rotor pivots are stressed evenly.
Fig. 7: Rotor is symmetrically loaded
Fig. 8: Not permitted: pivots are not stressed

evenly, rotor is not symmetrically loaded
A manual swing test with empty tubes must be carried out if oversized tubes
(i.e. longer than 100 mm) are used.

The weight specifications printed on the rotor (e.g. 4 x 0.6 kg for the 4 x 100 ml swing-bucket rotor A-4-44) correspond to
the overall weight of the rectangular bucket, inclusive of adapter, test tubes and the contents of each individual position.
In general, commercially-available deepwell plates with a 96-well plate format may only be used in the buckets of the
A-4-62-MTP on condition that the maximum load does not exceed 380 g and the maximum height of the plate does
not exceed 53 mm. This restriction also applies to stacked titer plates or culture plates.
Commercially available deepwell plates or filter plates / filter plate stacks in the 96-well plate format may be inserted in
the buckets of the A-2-DWP only if their load does not exceed 380 g and their height does not exceed 89 mm.
These restrictions also apply to stacked titer plates or culture plates.
Commercially available deepwell plates or filter plates / filter plate stacks may be inserted in the buckets of the
A-4-81-MTP only if their load does not exceed 380 g and their height does not exceed 60 mm. These restrictions also
apply to stacked titer plates or culture plates.
If deepwell plates used with dimensions which do not correspond to the values stated above (e.g. prototypes,
combination plates with a heavy lid or specially designed plates), the user must consult Eppendorf to establish the
suitability of using these plates in a titer plate or Deepwell plate rotor.
Under no circumstances use MTP-, MTP / Flex- and DWP-buckets with deformed side plates.

It can be modified during centrifugation.
Once the nominal temperature value has been reached, a deviation greater than 3 C is indicated by a
flashing temperature display.
If the temperature deviates by more than 5 C, a periodic warning signal can be heard and the centrifuge
switches itself off.
fast
temp
starts a temperature run at a rotor-specific speed for the best possible refrigeration. The new preselected
temperature is quickly attained in the rotor by cooling. FT appears in the PROG field. The run is then
ended automatically at the arrived at nominal temperature or by pressing the Stop key. A signal can be
heard at regular intervals.
The centrifuge does not terminate the run until the rotor, carrier or rectangular bucket have reached the
pre-selected temperature. The target temperature is initially measured on the chamber and then shown in
the display. However, the temperature run is automatically terminated when the rotor, carrier or rectangular
bucket have reached the target temperature.
When the lid is closed, the rotor chamber is refrigerated to the preselected nominal temperature before or
Standbyrefrigeration after a run, as long as this value is below ambient temperature. The rotor does not turn during this
procedure and the temperature changes more slowly.
If the centrifuge is not used for longer than 8 hours, or if the lid is not opened for this time, the refrigeration
function switches off for safety reasons. Standby off appears in the display, together with the nominal
temperature in the rotor chamber. The desired temperature can be reached rapidly via the Fast Temp
function.
The standby cooling of the centrifuge can also be switched on permanently. To do this the Temp and Prog
keys must be pressed simultaneously. Standby 8h appears in the display. Following this, the Fast temp
must be pressed immediately in order to switch the standby cooling over into permanent operation.
Standby endless appears in the display.
The standby cooling is automatically switched off after 8 hours in order to protect the device.
The switching of standby cooling to permanent operation is carried out at own risk and can lead
to overheating of the compressor.
Please empty and clean the tray for condensation water (on the right at the bottom of the device) on a
regular basis.

The given times are to be considered guidelines. While level 9 means "strongest braking", level 0 means "free deceleration", whereby considerable
fluctuations can occur with this uncontrolled deceleration depending upon the condition of the device and the load. The deceleration times for the 230 V
and 120 V devices are almost identical.
3.12 At set rpm

The "at set rpm" function triggers a counting down of the centrifugation time upon achieving the preselected rotational
speed ("at set rpm").
Pressing the START / STOP key for longer than 4 seconds while the centrifuge lid is open triggers a switching over to the
"at set rpm" function. While the key is pressed, both triangles of the pictogram are illuminated in blue in an alternating
sequence.
The activated "at set rpm" function is symbolized by the continuously illuminated, upper blue triangle
in the pictogram
.
In order to leave the "at set rpm" function again, and thus to activate the countdown of the centrifugation time directly
after switching on the centrifuge, press the START / STOP key while the centrifuge lid is open. The standard setting is

by the service department.
Only devices which have been tested in accordance with IEC 950 may be connected via the serial interface.
3.22 Opening the centrifuge in the case of a power failure
If the magnetic lid latch cannot be activated because of a power failure, the emergency lid release can be activated
manually:
Turn off the main power switch. Wait until the rotor has come to a standstill (The rotor may continue spinning for
up to eight minutes). Insert the standard rotor key into the opening in the middle of the front part in the nut
underneath and turn counter-clockwise. This disengages the lid, allowing it to be opened.
Be absolutely sure to remove the rotor key afterwards.
3.23 Overload cutout switch / Fuses
The 230 V and 120 V devices have built-in thermal overload switches which function as all-pole fuses. When the
overload protection is actuated, these switches over the power switch to OFF, but do not switch it on again
automatically.
To turn on the overcurrent protector switch again, please turn off the centrifuge for 10 seconds with the mains power
switch. When the centrifuge is subsequently turned on again, the overcurrent protector switch will be automatically
reactivated.

4 Maintenance and cleaning

4
4.1 Device
Maintenance and cleaning
The outside of the centrifuge and the rotor chamber should be cleaned regularly with neutral
detergent. This is for hygiene purposes as well as to prevent contamination caused by residual
contamination.
The user is responsible for cleaning or decontaminating the centrifuge in the event of contamination caused
by high-risk substances.
Open the lid of the centrifuge and disconnect the main power plug. Unscrew the rotor with the rotor key provided and
clean separately. Only neutral agents may be used for cleaning and disinfection (e.g. diluted Extran neutral, RBS
neutral or 70 % isopropanol/water mixture or an alcohol-based disinfectant). The rotor chamber should only be cleaned
with a moist cloth.
After cleaning with detergent, the rubber seals in the rotor chamber should be rinsed well with water and lubricated with
glycerine in order to prevent the seals from becoming brittle.
If condensation water forms in the rotor chamber after freezing occurs, dry with a soft absorbent cloth.
The user must consult the manufacturer before cleaning or decontaminating the centrifuge using methods not
recommended by the manufacturer in order to ensure that the centrifuge and accessories are not damaged. To ensure
that the centrifuge functions correctly and safely in the long-term, please note that aggressive chemicals can damage the
rotor, buckets and boiler. Please check the centrifuge regularly for damage caused by corrosion.
4.2 The rotors
The rotor and buckets must be cleaned regularly to prevent contamination caused by residue. Check at least the rotor
and housing monthly for residue and corrosion. This applies in particular to the rotor bores. Please clean your rotor using
a neutral cleaning liquid. This will protect the rotor and prolong its service life. As a reminder, the message "clean rotor"
appears in the display of the centrifuge three times after every 200 runs.
When using the swing-bucket rotor, ensure that the grooves in which the buckets are fitted are free of contamination. The
buckets can be lubricated with the lubricant (grease for pivots) supplied, although care must be taken to ensure that the
buckets can still swing freely.
4.3 The aerosol-tight rotor
The sealing rings of the aerosol-tight rotor FA-45-30-11 are subject to natural wear and tear and should be replaced
regularly if damaged. To protect the rotor, please ensure that the sealing rings are maintained regularly.
When handling the rotor lid, please observe the specifications regarding the chemical resistance of the materials of
construction.
The cover of the aerosol-tight rotor must not be fastened tightly during storage!
4.4 Rotor sterilization
All rotors are autoclavable (121 C, 20 min).
After the rotor has been autoclaved ten times, the lids of the aerosol-tight buckets or rotors must be exchanged.
The aerosol-tight Rotor FA-45-30-11 and the lid can be autoclaved at 142 C for 2 hours to destroy prions, but the
aerosol-tight lid must be exchanged after each autoclaving.

4.5 Glass breakage
Maintenance and cleaning
When centrifuging glass tubes, please observe that high speeds/rcfs increase the risk of glass breakage. Please follow
the manufacturers instructions concerning the maximum speed/rcf of centrifuge tubes. In the event of glass breakage,
carefully remove all splinters and all ground glass from the rotor, the buckets, the adapters and the rotor chamber. You
may need to replace the rubber mats and adapters to prevent further damage.
Fine splinters of glass may otherwise scratch the surface of the rotors and buckets, reducing their resistance to
chemicals. The air turbulences within the rotor chamber produce a very fine black powder of abraded metal. In addition
to causing damage to the rotor chamber, rotor, buckets and adapters, the powder also contaminates the samples.
Check the rotor bores regularly for residues and damage.
4.6 Refrigerated centrifuges
Clean the refrigeration mesh of the heat exchanger (on the rear side of the device) with a brush at least twice a year.
Be sure to first switch off the centrifuge and pull the plug.
Switch off the centrifuge after use, leave the lid open and empty the tray for condensation water, situated below the
device on the front right-hand side.
4.7 Return of devices
When returning centrifuges, please ensure that the devices have been decontaminated and thereby do not present a
health risk to our Service staff.
You will find additional information and a blank of the decontamination confirmation at www.eppendorf.com.
Do also consult your laboratory safety officer about a suitable decontamination method.
Please fill out the decontamination confirmation and place it together with the device when it is to be sent back to
Eppendorf.

Mode d'emploi succint

Les centrifugeuses 5804 / 5810 sont des modles de paillasse non rfrigrs et les centrifugeuses 5804 R / 5810 R sont
des modles de paillasse rfrigrs. La Centrifugeuse 5804 / 5804 R / 5810 / 5810 R doit exclusivement tre utilise
l'intrieur. Elle sert sparer les solutions et les suspensions aqueuses de diffrentes densits dans des tubes autoriss.
Les modles 5804 / 5804 R ont une capacit de charge maximale de 400 ml, les modles 5810 / 5810 R de 1600 ml.
Avant de procder la premire mise en service des centrifugeuses 5804 / 5810 et 5804 R / 5810 R, il convient de
lire le mode demploi. Pour un aperu complet des instructions d'emploi, nous vous recommendons de lire en
outre la version en anglais (pages 5 25) plus compltes.
Vous trouverez ce symbole sur votre centrifugeuse, ainsi qu' diffrents endroits de la notice d'utilisation.
Celui-ci indique la prsence de consignes de scurit importantes. N'utiliser la centrifugeuse qu'aprs avoir lu
ces consignes descurit.
Instructions de scurit
Pour la propre scurit des utilisateurs, il convient de respecter strictement les instructions ci-aprs:
Les rotors et les couvercles de rotor doivent toujours tre fixs conformment aux instructions.
Ne jamais centrifuger sans avoir vrifi le serrage de la fixation du rotor.
Le rotor doit uniquement tre garni de manire symtrique et les tubes se trouvant les uns ct des autres doivent tre
du mme type et identiquement remplis.
Pour assurer la stabilisation mcanique, tous les emplacements des rotors A-4-44 et A-4-62 / A-62-MTP doivent tre
dots des mmes suspensions.
Avant deffectuer la centrifugation, il convient de vrifier visuellement dans chaque cas un ventuel endommagement
des rcipients. Les rcipients endommags ne doivent pas tre centrifugs puisque si ceux-ci se cassent, il peut y avoir
outre la perte de lchantillon dautres dommages sur la centrifugeuse et les accessoires.
Les gobelets et les rotors qui prsentent des traces nettes de corrosion ou des dtriorations mcaniques, ne doivent
pas tre utiliss. Veuillez contrler rgulirement les accessoires.
Les centrifugeuses qui nont pas t installes ou remises en tat par des spcialistes ne peuvent pas tre utilises.
La centrifugeuse ne peut pas tre dplace ni secoue au cours du fonctionnement.
Les rparations ne peuvent tre effectues que par le service aprs-vente autoris par la socit Eppendorf.
Seuls des pices de rechange et des rotors dorigine de la socit Eppendorf peuvent tre insrs.
Les centrifugeuses 5804 / 5804 R ou 5810 / 5810 R ne peuvent tre utiliss que pour les cas indiqus dutilisation. Elles
ne doivent pas tre utilises dans des endroits soumis un risque dexplosion, des matires explosives ou hautement
ractives ne doivent pas tre centrifuges.
La densit de 1,2 g/ml ne peut pas tre dpasse lors de la centrifugation rgime maximal.
En cas de dure plus longue de fonctionnement dans les centrifugeuses non rfrigres 5804 / 5810, les rcipients
dchantillonnage se rchauffent. Les donnes limites spcifies par le fabricant des rcipients propos de la charge
admissible doivent tre respectes.
En cas dutilisation de solvants organiques (par ex. chloroforme), la solidit des rcipients en plastique peut tre
diminue.
En cas de passage du chambre rfrigre un laboratoire normal, soit la centrifugeuse doit tre prchauffe 1/2 heure
dans la chambre rfrigre soit elle doit se rchauffer au moins pendant 3 heures dans le laboratoire et ne doit pas tre
raccorde au secteur avant dviter des dommages en raison du condensat.
Les rotors sont des composants de qualit suprieure devant rsister des charges extrmes. Les rotors en aluminium
sont protges trs largement contre la corrosion de produits chimiques courants des laboratoires grce une couche
anodise, cette protection nest cependant pas illimite. Veuillez protger les rotors des dtriorations mcaniques.
Mme de lgres fissures ou rayures peuvent entraner des dtriorations internes graves du matriel qui sont
visuellement difficilement reconnaissables, voire mme compltement non reconnaissables.
Veuillez viter de rduire leur protection par des produits chimiques agressifs, par exemple: des alcalis forts et faibles,
des acides forts, des solutions contenant des ions de mercure, de cuivre et dautres mtaux lourds, de lhydrocarbure
chlore, des solutions sales concentres.

Lors de manipulation de liquides toxiques ou marqus sur un plan radioactif ou de germes pathognes du groupe de
risques II (voir World Health Organization: "Laboratory Biosafety Manual") les rglementations nationales
correspondantes doivent tre respectes.
En cas dimpurets dues des solutions agressives, veuillez nettoyer immdiatement le rotor immdiatement laide
dun produit de rinage neutre. Ceci est en particulier valable pour les alsages des rotors angle fixe et les gobelets.
Les rotors et les godets/nacelles correspondants ont une dure de vie maximale de 7 ans; la date de fabrication est
grave sous le format 10/98, qui signifie octobre 1998:

Les couvercles transparents peuvent perdre de leur solidit sous leffet de solvants organiques (phnol, chloroforme).
Veuillez contrler rgulirement si de tels couvercles ne prsentent pas de corrosion chimique ou de petites fissures. Les
couvercles prsentant des fissures ou des dcolorations laiteuses doivent tre immdiatement remplacs.
Les rotors, couvercles ou nacelles qui sont endommags sous leffet de ractions chimiques
ou mcaniques ou qui ont dpass leur dure de vie maximale ne peuvent plus tre utiliss!
* PC = Polycarbonate; PP = Polypropylne
Installation
Ne concerne que le modle 5804 R / 5810 R: attendre au moins 4 heures avant la premire mise sous
tension de la centrifugeuse pour viter dendommager le groupe compresseur et qui serait la
consquence dun transport non conforme.
La tension et la frquence du rseau doivent correspondre aux donnes fournies sur la plaque du fabricant de
lappareil.
Placer la centrifugeuse sur une surface horizontale, stable et exempte de rsonance. (en cas de forte vibration du
support, le dispositif de scurit anti-balourd peut tre rendu inactif)
Sassurer dune bonne ventilation de lenvironnement de la centrifugeuse et viter toute incidence solaire directe.
Respecter un espace libre dau moins 15 cm sur les cts de la centrifugeuse, et de 10 cm larrire.
Selon les recommandations de la norme EN 61010-2-020, il convient de marquer et de respecter un espace libre de
scurit de 30 cm tout autour de la centrifugeuse. Cet espace devra tre interdit tout objet susceptible de
comporter un risque par sa destruction.
Raccorder la centrifugeuse au secteur et la mettre sous tension par le commutateur principal.
Actionner la touche open pour ouvrir le capot.
Avant de dmarrer la machine, mettre en place le rotor et le serrer fermement laide de la cl du rotor.
Les rotors A-4-81 et A-4-81-MTP sont serrs fermement avec la cl spciale du rotor faisant partie des
lments livrs avec les rotors.
Chargement du rotor
(Il convient de respecter les indications fournies dans le guide des accessoires)
Concernant le rotor libre:
: vrifier le bon positionnement des nacelles ainsi que la libert de leur mouvement doscillation
Pour garantir la stabilit de lensemble pour les rotors A-4-44 et A-4-62 / A-4-62-MTP, toutes les places doivent tre
occupes par des nacelles identiques. Par contre, pour le rotor A-4-81 / A-4-81-MTP, un quipement mixte de gobelets
rectangulaires et de plaques en titre suspendues est possible.
Lorsque des tubes de hauteur suprieure 100 mm sont utiliss, il est impratif de vrifier manuellement et vide leur
possibilit doscillation.

qui risqueraient dendommager les matriaux. Les seuls produits de nettoyage admis sont les produits nettoyants et
dsinfectants neutres (exemples: Extran ou solution eau/thanol 70 %). Lintrieur du bol du rotor ne devra tre
nettoy qu laide dun tissu doux et lgrement humidifi.
Aprs chaque nettoyage au dtergent, les joints caoutchouc de lintrieur du bol du rotor seront
bien rincs leau, ensuite trait la glycrine.
En cas de dpt de condensats lintrieur du bol du rotor, scher avec un chiffon doux et absorbant.

Rotor
Il est interdit dutiliser des rotors ou des bchers endommags ou ayant subi une corrosion.
Le rotor comporte un anneau magntique permettant son identification et le contrle du rgime. Il est fix la
base de ce rotor. En cas dendommagement, il devra tre remplac en atelier par un personnel qualifi.
Les rotors libres devront subir une attention particulire en veillant la stricte propret des articulations
recevant les nacelles et les bchers. Elles devront tre nettoyes et lubrifies laide de la graisse pour
articulation fournie avec lappareil. Les nacelles doivent pouvoir osciller librement.
Le rotor anti-arosols ne devra jamais tre entrepos avec son couvercle serr fond.
Bris de verre
Lors de la centrifugation de tubes en verre, il faut savoir que le risque de bris de verre s'accrot au fur et mesure que la
vitesse de rotation ou de centrifugation augmente. Veuillez respecter les indications du fabricant relatives la charge
maximale des tubes de centrifugation.
En cas de bris de verre, veuillez retirer immdiatement tous les clats et le verre pulvris du rotor, des tubes, des
adaptateurs et de l'espace de la centrifugeuse. Eventuellement, les plaques en caoutchouc et les adaptateurs doivent
tre changs, pour viter davantage de dgts.
Sinon, les petits bris de verre rayent la surface des rotors et des bchers, et leur compatibilit chimique s'en trouve ainsi
rduite. Dans l'espace de centrifugation, des dchets d'abrasion de mtal trs fins, noirs apparaissent, qui provoquent,
outre des dommages sur la centrifugeuse, les rotors, les bchers et les adaptateurs, galement une contamination des
chantillons.
Veuillez contrler rgulirement qu'il ne se trouve pas de rsidus ou de dommages sur les alvoles des rotors.
Renvoi dappareils
Lors du renvoi de centrifugeuses, veuillez prendre garde ce que les appareils soient entirement dcontamins et
quainsi, ils ne prsentent aucun risque pour la sant de notre personnel dentretien.
Vous trouverez dautres informations et un modle de lattestation de dcontamination sous www.eppendorf.com.
Pour obtenir des renseignements propos de la mthode de dcontamination approprie, veuillez-vous adresser
galement au responsable de la scurit de votre laboratoire.
Veuillez remplir lattestation de dcontamination et joignez-la complte lappareil lorsque celui-ci doit tre renvoy la

Las centrfugas 5804 / 5810 son centrfugas de mesa sin refrigerar y las 5804 R / 5810 R son centrfugas de mesa
refrigeradas. La Centrfuga 5804 / 5804 R / 5810 / 5810 R est determinada exclusivamente para la utilizacin en
espacios interiores y sirve para la separacin de soluciones acuosas y suspensiones de diferente densidad en tubos de
muestras autorizados. Los modelos 5804 / 5804 R tienen una capacidad volumtrica mxima de 400 ml, y los modelos
5810 / 5810 R una capacidad mxima de 1.600 ml.
Antes de poner el aparato en marcha por primera vez, leer el manual de instrucciones! Para obtener una visin
general ms completa del manejo, es recomendable leer adems la versin en ingls, ms detallada,
(pginas 5 a 25).
La gua de accesorios del anexo forma parte de las presentes instrucciones de servicio.
Este signo lo encontrar en la centrfuga, as como en varios puntos de estas instrucciones de servicio. Los
textos marcados de esta manera se refieren a indicaciones relevantes para la seguridad. nicamente debe
utilizar la centrfuga si ha ledo estas indicaciones de seguridad.
Indicaciones de seguridad
En inters de su propia seguridad, por favor, tenga en cuenta las siguientes disposiciones:
El rotor y su tapa tienen que estar siempre sujetos de acuerdo con las normas.
nicamente debe centrifugarse con el rotor firmemente apretado.
El rotor slo debe equiparse simtricamente; los recipientes que se encuentren unos frente a otros deben ser del mismo
tipo y estar igual de llenos.
Por razones de estabilizacin mecnica, todas las posiciones de los rotores A-4-44 y A-4-62 / A-4-62-MTP tienen que
estar equipadas con dispositivos suspensores del mismo tipo.
Antes de proceder a la centrifugacin, deben inspeccionarse siempre visualmente los recipientes para identificar
posibles daos materiales. Los recipientes deteriorados no deben centrifugarse, ya que su rotura, adems de la prdida
de la muestra, podra tener como consecuencia mayores daos en la centrfuga y los accesorios.
No deben emplearse vasos ni rotores que presenten claros signos de corrosin o deterioros mecnicos. Por favor,
controle los accesorios con regularidad.
No se deben poner en funcionamiento centrfugas no instaladas o no reparadas adecuadamente.
Durante el funcionamiento, no debe moverse ni golpearse la centrfuga.
Los trabajos de reparacin slo debe realizarlos el personal de servicio autorizado por la empresa Eppendorf.
Slo deben emplearse piezas de recambio y rotores originales de la empresa Eppendorf.
Las centrfugas 5804 / 5804 R y 5810 / 5810 R deben emplearse nicamente para los casos de aplicacin indicados. No
deben ponerse en funcionamiento en locales con riesgo de explosin, y no deben centrifugarse sustancias explosivas ni
de reaccin fuerte.
No debe sobrepasarse la densidad de 1,2 g/ml en el material a centrifugar al nmero de revoluciones mximo.
En caso de tiempos de marcha prolongados en las centrfugas 5804 / 5810 no refrigeradas se calentarn los recipientes
de muestras. Deben respetarse los datos lmite especificados por el fabricante del recipiente en lo que se refiere a la
capacidad de carga.
Si se emplean disolventes orgnicos (p. ej. Cloroformo), la resistencia de los recipientes de plstico puede disminuir.
Cuando se cambie de una sala refrigerada a una sala normal de laboratorio, la centrfuga debe o bien funcionar para
calentarse durante 1/2 h en la sala refrigerada, o bien calentarse como mnimo durante 3 horas en la sala de laboratorio
sin conectarse a la red, con el fin de evitar daos debidos a la condensacin.
Los rotores son componentes de alta calidad que deben resistir cargas extremas. Los rotores de aluminio estn
protegidos ampliamente contra la corrosin producida por las sustancias qumicas habituales en los laboratorios
mediante una capa de anodizacin; sin embargo, esta proteccin no es ilimitada. Por favor, proteja los rotores frente al
deterioro mecnico. Incluso los pequeos araazos y grietas pueden producir graves daos internos al material que a
simple vista son muy difciles o incluso imposibles de detectar.
Por favor, evite la debilitacin debida a sustancias qumicas agresivas, entre las que se encuentran: lcalis fuertes y
dbiles, cidos fuertes, soluciones con iones de mercurio, de cobre y de otros metales pesados, hidrocarburos
clorurados, soluciones salinas concentradas.
Al manipular lquidos marcados como txicos o radiactivos o grmenes patgenos del grupo de riesgo II (ver
Organizacin Mundial de la Salud: "Laboratory Biosafety Manual" - Manual de bioseguridad en laboratorios), deben
observarse las respectivas disposiciones nacionales.

estn deteriorados debido a efectos qumicos o mecnicos, o que hayan superado su vida til!
* PC = Policarbonato; PP = Polipropileno
Instalacin del aparato
Slo para el modelo 5804 R / 5810 R: Para evitar averas en el compresor debido a un transporte
inadecuado, el aparato slo debe conectarse cuando hayan transcurrido 4 horas desde la instalacin.
La tension et la frquence du rseau doivent correspondre aux donnes fournies sur la plaque du
fabricant de lappareil.
La tensin y frecuencia de red tienen que coincidir con los datos indicados en la placa de caractersticas del aparato.
Coloque la centrfuga en una mesa de laboratorio horizontal, estable y sin vibraciones

(las vibraciones fuertes de la mesa de laboratorio pueden dejar fuera de servicio el interruptor de desequilibrio).
El ambiente debe estar bien ventilado y protegido de los rayos solares.
Debe mantenerse una distancia de 15 cm a ambos lados y de 10 cm por detrs de la centrfuga.
Segn recomienda la norma EN 61010-2-020, durante la centrifugacin debe haber marcada una distancia de
seguridad de 30 cm alrededor de la centrfuga; en este espacio no deben encontrarse objetos cuya destruccin
pudiera causar daos.
Enchufe la centrfuga a la red y conecte el interruptor principal.
La tapa de la centrfuga se abre pulsando la tecla Open.
Antes del inicio, por favor, coloque el rotor y apritelo con la llave del rotor. Los rotores A-4-81 y A-4-81-MTP se aprietan
con la llave especial del rotor que se incluye en el suministro de los rotores.
Funcionamiento
(Tenha em ateno os dados constantes do guia da centrfuga)
Carga de los rotores
Para los rotores basculantes, se aplica:
: Compruebe si todos los dispositivos suspensores estn colgados completamente y pueden
bascular con total libertad.
Por razones de estabilizacin mecnica, en el caso de los rotores A-4-44 y A-4-62 / A-4-62-MTP, todas las posiciones
tienen que estar ocupadas por dispositivos suspensores del mismo tipo. Por el contrario, en el caso del rotor A-4-81 /
A-4-81-MTP es posible una ocupacin mixta con vasos rectangulares y dispositivos suspensores de placas Titer.
Si se utilizan tubos muy largos (ms de 100 mm de longitud), es imprescindible realizar un test de basculacin manual
con contenedores vacos!

la centrfuga y girar en el sentido contrario a las agujas del reloj. La tapa se desbloquea y se puede abrir.
A continuacin, sacar obligatoriamente la llave del rotor.
Limpieza
Aparato
La superficie exterior de la centrfuga y la cmara del rotor pueden limpiarse con un detergente neutro:
De vez en cuando, deben limpiarse el rotor y los vasos, con el fin de evitar que los restos del material centrifugado
provoquen modificaciones en el material. Para la limpieza y la desinfeccin deben emplearse nicamente agentes
neutros (por ejemplo Extran o etanol al 70 %). La cmara del rotor debe limpiarse nicamente con un pao hmedo.
Despus de la limpieza con detergente, las juntas de goma de la cmara del rotor deben enjuagarse bien con agua y
frotarse con glicerina.
En caso de que se produzca condensacin de agua en la cmara del rotor, squela con materiales absorbentes suaves.
35
Rotor
No deben emplearse rotores deteriorados ni corrodos.
El anillo magntico fijado en la parte inferior de cada rotor, para la identificacin del rotor y el control del nmero
de revoluciones, debe sustituirlo el servicio tcnico en caso de que se produzca algn deterioro.
Cuando se utilicen rotores basculantes, asegurarse de que las ranuras y los pivotes de los contenedores estn
limpios y engrasados con la grasa para pivotes suministrada, de tal forma que los contenedores puedan
bascular con total libertad.
El rotor antiaerosol no debe guardarse con la tapa apretada!
Rotura de vidrios
Para el centrifugado de tubos de vidrio se debe tener en cuenta que si aumenta el nmero de revoluciones o la
aceleracin centrfuga relativa, crece el peligro de rotura del vidrio. Por favor, tenga en cuenta las instrucciones del
fabricante sobre la carga mxima de tubos de centrfuga.
Si se produce una rotura de vidrio, por favor extraiga todos los fragmentos y polvo de vidrio del rotor, los contenedores,
los adaptadores y la cmara de centrifugacin. En caso necesario, deben cambiarse por otros nuevos las placas de
goma y el adaptador para evitar daos posteriores.
De lo contrario los fragmentos finos de vidrio araan la superficie del rotor y los contenedores, con lo que disminuye su
resistencia a las sustancias qumicas. En la cmara de centrifugacin, y debido a los remolinos de aire, se forma una
abrasin metlica negra muy fina, que adems de daos en la cmara de centrifugacin, el rotor, los contenedores y el
adaptador, origina tambin impurezas en las muestras.
Por favor, revise regularmente los orificios del rotor en cuanto a residuos y daos.
Devolucin de aparatos
Por favor, para devolver las centrfugas preste atencin a que los aparatos estn completamente descontaminados, con
el fin de que no representen ningn riesgo para la salud de nuestro personal de servicio.
En www.eppendorf.com. hallar ms informacin y un impreso de confirmacin de descontaminacin. Para un mtodo
de descontaminacin adecuado consulte tambin con los responsables de seguridad de su laboratorio.
Por favor, rellene la confirmacin de descontaminacin y acompela con el aparato en caso de que ste deba ser
devuelto a Eppendorf.
