3.6 Starting and stopping the centrifuge
3.6.1 Starting the centrifuge
You can start the centrifuge either with the "Start" key (10) (refer to figure 24) or the "Quick Spin" key (8).
By the "Start" key (10) you can start stored runs or runs with manually pre-selected parameters.
When the respective pre-selected running time has ended the centrifuge will stop automatically.
By the "Quick Spin" key (8) you can start runs, which will last just a few seconds.
By pressing the "Quick Spin" key (8) the centrifuge accelerates up to the pre-selected revolution.
In the display "Time/Prog" (A-4) the passed running time is indicated from the date of pressing the "Quick Spin"
key (8).
By releasing the "Quick Spin" key (8) the centrifuge stops and the running time is indicated until the opening of the
lid.
3.6.2 The "STOP/Lid" key
By the "Stop/Lid" key (9) (See figure 25) you can interrupt the run at any time. After pressing the key the centrifuge
decelerates with the respective pre-selected intensity down to stand still. After the rotor complete stopped, press the
"Stop/Lid" key will open the lid.

Imbalance detection

In case of the rotor not being equally loaded, the drive will turn off during acceleration. The rotor decelerates to
stand still.
When in the display "Time/Prog" (A-4) the word "error" (M11) together with the number "01" appear, the weight
difference of the samples is too large. Distribute the weight evenly.
Load the rotor as described in chapter 3.1.2 and 3.1.3.
When inside the display "Time/Prog" (A-4) the word "error" together with the number "02" (See figure 26) appear,
it could be due to the following reason: The imbalance switch is defective.
