5.6.4 Setting the centrifugation radius
If an adapter for tubes is used in a rotor, this changes the centrifugation radius. In the RAD menu item, the
parameter for the tube/adapter combination has to be set.
Prerequisites
• Rotor is inserted.
• The centrifuge has detected the rotor (see Automatic rotor detection on p. 27).
1. Press the menu/enter key.
2. Select the RAD menu item using the arrow key. Confirm with the menu/enter key.
In the RAD menu item, the parameters for the rotor-specific tube/adapter combination are available.
3. Select the parameters for the tube/adapter combination using the arrow key. Confirm with the menu/
enter key.
The display shows the g-force for the rotor/adapter combination used in the rotor.
5.6.5 After centrifugation
If the centrifuge is temporarily not used, carry out the following steps. Please also observe the care
instructions (see p. 39).
 Turn the rotor nut counterclockwise using the supplied rotor key.
Remove the rotor by lifting it vertically.
 Empty the condensation water tray.
 Leave the centrifuge lid open.
5.7 Standby mode
The centrifuge switches to the standby mode when the following prerequisites are met:
• Centrifuge lid is open: centrifuge has not been used for 15 min.
• The centrifuge lid is closed: continuous cooling was stopped (see Continuous cooling on p. 32).
In the Standby mode, the following applies :
• The display shows EP .
• The rotor chamber is not cooled .
 Press any key to end the standby mode.
Default setting: If the centrifugation speed is only controlled using the g-force (rcf), the
centrifuge calculates the g-force for the largest radius of the rotor used.
If start centrifuging immediately has not been used for 15 min, it switches to standby. EP
appears in the display.
