5.5.3 Temperature monitoring
After the set temperature has been reached, the centrifuge reacts to temperature deviations during
centrifugation as follows:
5.5.4 Start FastTemp
With the FastTemp function, you can immediately start a temperature run without samples, at rotor-specific
or temperature-specific speeds. This will quickly bring the rotor chamber, including rotor and adapter, up
to the set target temperature.
Prerequisites
• The centrifuge is switched on.
• Rotor and rotor lid are correctly mounted.
• The centrifuge lid is closed.
• The temperature and g-force
(rcf) or speed (rpm) have been set for the upcoming centrifugation (see
Centrifuging on p. 33).
1. Press the fast temp key.
The display shows
• FT
• Actual temperature in the rotor chamber
• g-force (rcf) or speed (rpm)
The temperature control run FastTemp automatically ends when the target temperature has been
reached. A periodic signal tone sounds.
2. Press the start/stop key to end the temperature control run early.
Deviation from target temperature Action
±3 °C Temperature display flashes.
±5 °C Display shows Err 18. Centrifugation is stopped automatically.
• The centrifuge only stops the run once the rotor has reached the set temperature.
Therefore, there may be a delay of approx. 15 min (rotor S-24-11-AT: 30 min) between the
display indicating the set temperature has been reached and the automatic end of the
temperature control run.
