Field Rotor Inspection Program Protect Your Investment Beckman Coulter offers the widest range of rotors and accessories designed, manufactured and tested as a part of total centrifuge systems. The page you wanted could not be found, so we brought you to something similar.
We recommend that you read this entire manual, especially the Safety Notice and all safety-related information, before operating the centrifuge or performing instrument maintenance. NOTE If the centrifuge is used in a manner other than specified in this manual, the safety and performance of this equipment could be impaired.
Further, the use of any equipment other than that recommended by Beckman Coulter has not been evaluated for safety.
These international symbols may also be displayed on the centrifuge and are reproduced on the inside back cover. Typographic Conventions Certain typographic conventions are used throughout this manual to distinguish names of user interface components, such as keys and displays.
The presence of this marking on the product indicates: 1. It is very important that customers understand and follow all laws regarding the proper decontamination and safe disposal of electrical equipment.
For Beckman Coulter products bearing this label please contact your dealer or local Beckman Coulter office for details on the take back program that will facilitate the proper collection, treatment, recovery, recycling and safe disposal of the device. It controls electrical power to the centrifuge. The power must be ON before the chamber door can be opened or closed. To lock the centrifuge mode in the desired setting, power down O the instrument, remove the active key black from the key switch, and insert the red key guard.
NOTE Either the active key with a black cover B or the red key guard B must be inserted in the key switch at all times when the instrument is powered on I.
The instrument must be powered down O before removing or inserting a key. Control Panel Figure 1. Entering the rotor code limits the speed setting to the maximum for the rotor in use. TIME Pressed to enter the run time up to 99 hours Keypad The keypad is used to enter numerical values.
STOP Pressed to stop a run. Digital Display The digital display indicates rotor speed, run time remaining or elapsed , temperature, program number if selected , and acceleration and deceleration numbers.
In certain conditions the centrifuge cannot be restarted until the condition is corrected. Drive Unit The rotor drive spindle is belt-driven by an Ultra-Smooth induction motor. The variable frequency design of this motor provides high torque for fast acceleration rates.
The brushless design and ball bearings greatly extend service life. Motor and spindle are attached to a rubber-mounted subplate to minimize noise and vibration. If the drive belt breaks during centrifugation, the rotor will decelerate to a stop and the diagnostic message BELT will flash on the control panel.
This vibration, as the rotor shifts to rotate about its center of mass, is normal. Door Operation The chamber door is hinged on the left and locks on the right.
The door can be opened only by using the door handle and only if power is on and the rotor is stopped. The diagnostic message DOOR will flash on the control panel if the door is not closed when a run is started.
NOTE The door cannot be opened or closed if the power is off. The door is opened by pulling the door latch lever forward and lifting up on the handle to open the door. When the door is about three-quarters open, a gas spring opens the door the rest of the way. This label indicates a potential pinch hazard if hands or fingers are placed in the hinge area when the door is being opened or closed. Operators and observers must take care to move their hands away from the hinge area when the door is opened and closed.
Refrigeration The refrigeration compressor is in the lower rear of the centrifuge, and the evaporator surrounds the rotor chamber. A thermistor inside the bottom of the rotor chamber senses the temperature of the air in the chamber and causes the compressor to cycle on and off. Because the system works only to cool the chamber, run temperatures above room temperature depend on frictional heating, which is a function of the rotor being used and the speed selected.
The airflow bracket installed on the rear of the centrifuge Figure A. Temperature Sensing The thermistor in the bottom of the rotor chamber continuously monitors chamber temperature. Because rotors differ in size and mass, and there is windage in the chamber, chamber temperature and rotor temperature are not the same. The microprocessor calculates the required chamber temperature to achieve the selected rotor temperature by using a set of compensation values unique to the rotor in use.
The microprocessor monitors the thermistor and verifies a temperature change as the chamber cools to the required temperature see Figure 1. Actual Temperature 2. Set Temperature 3. Rotor speed is then controlled to within 20 rpm of the selected speed. Rotor Chamber The rotor chamber is stainless steel for durability and corrosion resistance.
The chamber is sealed by a silicone rubber gasket. Instrument gaskets have not been qualified as bioseals for aerosol containment. The rotor drive spindle and thermistor are visible in the chamber bottom see Figure 1. Rotor Drive Spindle 2. Thermistor 3. Chamber Gasket Specifications Only values with tolerances or limits are guaranteed data.
Values without tolerances are informative data, without guarantee. Control Features Description Specification Rotor identity Used to limit speed to rotor maximum and provide automatic temperature control. Speed Set speed to rpm Speed control Actual rotor speed will be within 20 rpm of set speed. Speed display Indicates actual rotor speed in revolutions per minute in rpm increments and three significant figures. Time display Indicates time remaining for timed runs, time elapsed for continuous operation.
Temperature display Indicates rotor temperature in degrees Celsius in 1-degree increments. Acceleration Select from 9 acceleration rates including maximum acceleration.
Deceleration Select from 9 deceleration rates including maximum dynamic braking, or a coasting stop from full speed. Temperature equilibration refers to bringing the centrifuge chamber, rotor, and sample — the whole system— to the set temperature before the run begins. Equilibration is optimized by precooling or prewarming the rotor and sample and then running the system at the required run temperature at a low speed below rpm for at least 30 minutes.
The time required to reach equilibration is based on several factors, including ambient temperature, rotor size, and centrifuge chamber and rotor starting temperatures. The minimum system equilibration time, if the rotor is not precooled or prewarmed, is 30 minutes.
Operational Features Description Specification Diagnostic Messages Interlocks prohibit drive operation in the event of certain malfunctions. Drive Unit High-torque, variable-frequency induction motor; belt-driven rotor spindle. Width Depth Minimum clearances both sides and rear Diameter of rotor chamber Maximum heat dissipation into the room 1. A registered trademark of E. Normally only nonconductive pollution occurs; occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused by condensation must be expected.
The centrifuge has been designed and tested to operate safely indoors at altitudes up to m ft. Available Rotors Refer to the applicable rotor manual for complete rotor descriptions. If you are an experienced user of this centrifuge, you may turn to the summary provided at the end of this section for a quick review of operating steps. Refer to the applicable rotor manual for instructions on preparing the rotor and labware for centrifugation.
