5.4.2 Centrifuging in continuous operation
Perform the following steps in the sequence described.
5.4.3 Short spin centrifugation
You can carry out a short spin centrifugation with the currently set or with the maximum
g-force (rcf)/ speed (rpm) of the used rotor.
Setting the speed option
Starting the short spin centrifugation
1. Set the g-force (rcf)/speed (rpm) and possibly the temperature as previously
described (see p. 57).
2. Select the runtime setting.
3. Set continuous operation below 1 min or above 99 min.
In the display  indicates continuous run.
4. Start centrifugation.
• blinks in the display when the rotor is running.
• If the centrifuge runs for more than 99 min, 99. appears in the display.
• Only 5804 R/5810 R: The current temperature is displayed.
• The current g-force (rcf)/speed (rpm) of the rotor is displayed.
5. End centrifugation after the desired time.
• During braking the elapsed centrifugation time is displayed flashing.
6. Open the centrifuge lid as soon as the key lights up.
 Press and hold down the key with the centrifuge lid open.
One of the following options appears in the display:
rpm max : the rotor accelerates up to its maximum g-force (rcf)/speed (rpm)
(see Rotors on p. 13).
200 - rpm : the rotor only accelerates up to its set g-force (rcf)/speed (rpm).
 Press and hold down the key for more than 3 s with the centrifuge lid open to switch
between the
rpm max and 200 - rpm options.
The selected option appears in the display for 2 s and is retained.
1. If 200 - rpm is set, set the g-force (rcf)/ speed (rpm) for the short spin centrifugation
(see p. 57).
2. Only 5804 R/5810 R: set the temperature (see p. 57).
3. Keep the key pressed to start the short spin centrifugation.
• SH appears in the display while the rotor is running.
• The time is counted upwards in seconds.
4. Release to end the short spin centrifugation.
Hint!
During the braking process, centrifuging can be restarted up to two more times by pressing the
short key again.
5. Open the centrifuge lid as soon as the key is illuminated.
