that 2 sec the number changes quickly).
4.5. The program can also be changed during the operation - microprocessor automatically enters
the last changes into the memory as the working program when the new cycle begins.
4.6. SMS - algorithm
4.6.4. Set the necessary speed of spin (increment 100 RPM, Fig.2/u ).
4.6.5. Set the time of spin (time less than 1 min - with 1 sec increment, more than 1 min - with
1 min increment, Fig.2/v ).
4.6.6. Set the vortexing strength (select from soft, medium and hard, Fig.2/x ).
4.6.7. Set the time of vortexing, from 1 to 20 sec (increment 1 sec, Fig.2/y ).
4.6.8. Set how many times the set sms - algorithm shall be repeated (from 1 till 999 times,
Fig.2/{ ).
4.7. Multitube centrifugation
4.7.1. Set the necessary speed of spin (increment 100 RPM, Fig.2/u ).
4.7.2. Set the time of spin (time less than 1 min - with 1 sec step, more than 1 min - with 1
min increment, Fig.2/v ).
4.7.3. Turn off the Vortex type motion by setting the time of Vortex type motion to zero
(OFF, Fig. 2/y ). Note that the cycle counter turns off.
4.8. Multitube vortexing
4.8.1. Turn off the Spin motion by setting the time of Spin motion to zero (OFF, Fig. 2/v ).
Note that the cycle counter turns off.
4.8.3. Set the vortexing strength (select from soft, medium and hard, Fig.2/x ).
4.8.4. Set the time of vortexing (from 1 till 20 sec, increment 1 sec, Fig.2/y ).
4.9. Press Run/Stop key (Fig.2/} ) to start the program.
4.10. The rotor motion begins and the corresponding indication (RUN (Fig.2/| ), cycle countdown
(Fig.2/{ ), the changing time values (Fig.2/v or Fig.2/y )) is shown on the display.
4.11. Multi-Spin automatically stops after the set number of cycles is performed (blinking indication
STOP (fig.2/| ) on the display) and gives a sound signal about the end of operation (press
Run\Stop key to stop the signal).
4.12. For the repeated operation according to the set program press Run\Stop key.
4.13. If necessary Multi-Spin can be stopped at any time during operation before the set number of
cycles is performed by pressing Run/Stop key. Pressing Run/Stop key again will start the
program from the beginning (cycle countdown will be restarted).
4.14. At the and of operation unplug the external power supply from the mains.
4.15. Post session cleaning
It is important to thoroughly clean all parts of the PCV-3000 that may have been contaminated by
the previous operation. This can be done by using isopropyl alcohol (up to 75%) or hot soapy
water.
