Instruction manual

IMPORTANT Read before using
Location
The Centrifuge should only be operated indoors.
The set up location must fulfil the following requirements
• Check the Centrifuge and the Packaging for any shipping damage.
Inform the shipping company and Centurion Scientific immediately
•Check the order for completeness, if not contact Centurion Scientific
• A safety zone of at least 30Cm must be maintained around the Centrifuge
• People and hazardous substances must be kept out of this zone
during centrifugation
• The bench or supporting structure must be stable and free from resonance
• The Bench or supporting structure must be suitable for horizontal use of the
centrifuge
•The Centrifuge should Not be exposed to heat or strong sunlight
•Ultra violet rays can damage the stability of plastics and coatings
• Do not subject the Polypropylene, Delrin rotors or accessories to direct
sunlight
•The Zone location must be well ventilated at all times
Transporting the Centrifuge
•Always remove the Rotor before transportation
•Due to its weight the Centrifuge should be carried by several people
•Transport the Centrifuge upright and if possible in its packaging
•Always lift the centrifuge at both sides (see below). NOT front to rear.
• Store the original packaging, Keep this for future service to base , if required.

Fixing of rotor
Fixing for Swing out rotors.
BRK5508, BRK5506, BRK1001, BRK3000, BRK5540, BRK5740.
Locate 3 pins of fixing, into 3 holes at the top of the rotor
Push down firmly into holes.
Lift and fit rotor onto the motor shaft. M
Fit the Screw and spring washer, screw down tight with
the supplied tool.
Check tightness regularly.
Fixing for micro and fixed angle rotors
BRK5401. BRK54XXseries. BRK53XX series. BRK52XX series
Lift and fit rotor onto the motor shaft.M
Fit the Screw and spring washer, screw down tight with the
supplied tool.

Rotor balancing. Very Important
Balancing of tubes for Micro and Fixed angle rotors
Tare (zero) your scales first
Weigh a tube , note its
weight Weigh another and
match its weight to within 0.1
gram

Tube placement Fixed angle rotors
ALWAYS load your tubes opposite to each other
ALWAYS weigh samples to within 0.1Gram. For best separations. (see page 4)
CHECK The rotor screw fixing tightness regularly
✔ ✘ ✘
Large fixed angle Rotors
ALWAYS load your tubes opposite to each other
ALWAYS weigh samples to within 0.1Gram. For best separations. (see page 4)

Function Rcf/Rpm
1Select if you require Speed or Rcf (G)
RCF (G) is the actual force that does the work for your analysis.
It is speed x the radius maximum of the Rotor that is the separation for analysis.
Press Function button and press the Rcf/Rpm it will pulse dot Left top Rcf and Bottom right RPM
