Centrifuge 5804/5804 R/5810/5810 R — Operating manual
5.2.5 Closing the centrifuge lid
1. Check the correct attachment of the rotor and rotor lid.
2. Push down the centrifuge lid until the lid latch engages and the lid is automatically closed.
The centrifuge will close automatically.
The open key lights up blue. The symbol appears in the display.
5.3 Cooling (only 5804 R/5810 R)
5.3.1 Temperature adjustment
 Select the temperature setting using the temp key.
 Set the temperature using the arrow keys between -9°C and +40°C.
5.3.2 Temperature display
5.3.3 Temperature monitoring
After the target temperature has been reached, the centrifuge reacts to temperature deviations
during centrifugation as follows:
5.3.4 FastTemp
This function can be used to start a temperature control run directly without samples with a rotor
and temperature-specific speed in order to quickly adjust the rotor chamber, including the rotor,
buckets and adapters, to the previously set nominal temperature.
Prerequisites
• The centrifuge is switched on.
• The rotor and rotor lid are properly attached.
• The centrifuge lid is closed.
• Temperature and g-force (rcf)/speed (rpm) for the centrifugation are set (see Centrifuging on
p. 57).
1. Press the fast temp key.
The display shows from left to right: actual temperature value, FT , g-force (rcf)/speed (rpm)
and -- (time).
The temperature control run automatically ends when the set temperature is reached. A
periodic signal tone sounds.
2. Press the start/stop key to terminate the temperature control run early.
After the set temperature has been reached and the temperature control run is complete, the
centrifuge keeps the rotor chamber with the centrifuge lid closed at the set target temperature if
the temperature is below the ambient temperature. However, independent of the target
WARNING!
Crushing of the fingers with the centrifuge lid.
 When opening or closing the device lid, do not reach between the lid and device or into the
latching mechanism of the lid.
 Always open the centrifuge lid completely to prevent it from falling.
If the rotor is stopped: Target temperature
