Temperature

During centrifugation, heat is generated by air friction between the rapidly

spinning rotor and the air inside the rotor chamber.

The temperature rise depends on the rotor ( swing-out or angle rotor ),bucket type,

ambient temperature, running time and the speed of the rotor.

The continous air flow through the centrifuge housing is restricting the

temperature rise of the samples to the standard value of 40°C with each rotor even

at maximum speed.

Imbalance

In case of unequal loading of opposite buckets/tube racks or tube-holes, the

operation will be interrupted during the acceleration phase. The rotor will be

decelerated to a standstill. Additionally the message "ERROR" appears on the

preset "speed" display.

If the actual "speed" display shows error no. 1, the difference in weight of the

samples is too big. Fill the tubes and load the rotor as described under point 3.

If the actual "speed" display shows error no. 2, there can be several reasons:

- The imbalance switch is not adjusted correctly.

- The imbalance switch is defective.
