6. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ŸNever use the centrifuge in any manner not specified in this manual.
ŸAlways use recommended original rotors and spare parts for best result &
product safety.
ŸThe rotors must be loaded symmetrically. Each tube should be counter
balanced by another tube of same weight.
ŸDo not use centrifuge or rotor that have not been correctly installed or shows
any sign of damage .
ŸThe rotor must always be securely fastened. If the centrifuge makes unusual
noise during operaon, the rotor fitment needs to be checked. Switch OFF the
device immediately by pressing STOP, check fitment & fasten it well.
ŸNever move the centrifuge during its operaon.
ŸPrior to centrifugaon, the tubes should be visually inspected for material
damage. Damaged tubes must not be centrifuged. This is because broken
tubes can result in sample loss and can create imbalance which can result in
Ÿfurther damage to the centrifuge and accessories.
ŸDo not fill tubes while they are in the rotor. Liquids spillage may harm the
device. If liquids are spilled on the rotor or rotor chamber, the centrifuge must
be cleaned carefully and properly before being used again.
ŸCentrifuge may be used for the specified applicaons only. It must not be
operated in a hazardous or flammable environment and must not be used to
centrifuge explosive or highly reacve substances. Also do not place the

ŸEquipment if used in any manner not specified in this manual or by the
manufacturer can result in the lapse of the product warranty.
ŸRepairs must only be performed by authorized service technician.
ŸDo not lean on the equipment. It may damage the equipment or even harm the
operator.
ŸIn the event of contaminaon caused by aggressive agents, the rotor must be
cleaned immediately using a natural cleaning liquid. This is parcularly
important for the bores of the tubes. If any damage is seen, contact the service
technician.
ŸBefore using cleaning or decontaminaon methods other than those
menoned by the manufacturer, contact the manufacturer to ensure that the
intended method will not damage the centrifuge.
ŸFor safety we have provided protecve earthing with power supply. Make sure
power supply is earthened.
7. INSTALLATION
The Laboratory centrifuge is supplied in packaging box. Open the box, remove the
packaging and gently place the centrifuge out of the box. Before 1st me usage,
open the centrifuge & ensure to remove all packaging from the rotor chamber.
Please keep all packaging in safe storage for at least 2 years for warranty purpose.
LOCATION & MOUNTING
Place the centrifuge on a flat, solid and leveled surface and ensure that all the four
feet of this centrifuge stand on the surface firmly. Avoid installing on slippery or
surface prone to vibraon.
• Ideal ambient temperature is 25° C ± 5°C, avoid placing the centrifuge in
direct sunlight.
• Keep clearance of at least 30 cm from all side for ease of usage.
• Keep away from heat or water to avoid sample temperature issues or
centrifuge failures.
• Do not place the centrifuge such that it becomes difficult to operate the
device.

9. OPERATING THE CENTRIFUGE
SWITCH ON THE CENTRIFUGE
Aer connecng the power cord. Switch ON the main power supply & then Switch
on the power switch located on the right side of the instrument. Make sure to
check the rotor fitment before use. Centrifuge will not operate with open lid.
Note: Maintain a gap of 3 seconds between switch OFF and switch ON again. DO NOT switch OFF
and ON again instantly.
Speed Seng:
Press RPM/RCF buon to set speed from 500 to 4500 RPM. Single press to set
speed, long press to toggle mode RPM/RCF. The parameter can be set when the
speed screen blinks by using + buon for increment & "- "buon for decrement.
The values will automacally saves aer screen stops blinking.
Timer Seng:
Press the mer buon to set mer. Time can be set by + for increment & - for
decrement. The mer will save automacally once the blinking stops. The mer
can be set in minutes only while seconds are for countdown mer for running
operaon.
Acc/Dcc:
This buon will set the parameters of acceleraon or deceleraon of the rotor
ramp. Press acc/dcc buon once to set the acceleraon from 1-9 by using +/-
buon for increment/decrement respecvely. Similarly press once again the
acc/dcc buon to set deceleraon from 1-9 by using +/- buon for
increment/decrement respecvely. The values of accelaeraon & deceleraon
mings are listed below.

START & STOP
The centrifugaon can be started by pressing start buon once the desired
operaon set. The operaon can be stopped by pressing stop buon once. To
open the lid press stop/open key once aer the rotor comes to stop.
10. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
• The rotor and the outside of the centrifuge should be cleaned regularly with a
mild wet (with water) cloth.
• Ensure that while cleaning the unit is not plugging in.
• Wear protecve glove & safety glass while operang & cleaning the device.
• The brushless motor in the centrifuge requires no roune maintenance. Any
required service should be performed by authorized, qualified personnel
only. Repairs performed by unauthorized personnel may void the warranty.
• Always keep the centrifuge housing, rotor chamber and rotor clean. All parts
should be wiped down periodically with a so cloth. For more thorough
cleaning, use a neutral cleaning agent (Ph between 6 and 8) and clean with a
so cloth. Exclusive amounts of liquid should be avoided.
Note: Liquid should not come into contact with the motor.
• Aer cleaning, ensure that all parts are dry before re-use.
• Regularly cleaning of the rotor is important.
• If the rotor chamber needs cleaning, clean with cloth or sponge moistened
with a neutral detergent soluon.
• Do not place the rotor into the cleaning soluon.
• If corrosive, toxic or pathogenic bacteria are accidentally spilled in the rotor
or rotor chamber the centrifuge must be decontaminated throughly.
11. TROUBLESHOOTING
