USER MANUAL
Centrifuge-Mixer CM-50M
Dear user!
Centrifuge-mixer Fugamix CM-50M is easy to use
and reliable in operation.We ask you to carefully
read the user manual and follow the instructions
for proper operation and maintenance of the CM-
50MP. This will insure excellent results and endur-
ing performance.
General information
The Fugamix CM-50M can be used with a range of ro-
tor options, including for 12 x 1.5/2ml tubes, as well
as PCR Strips and tubes. This microprocessor-con-
trolled system provides smooth rotor acceleration
and braking during all segments of the operation.
A big graphical display oers instant readout of all
the relevant parameters, including time, braking
level, mixing level and rotor speed (simultaneous
RPM and RCF). The centrifuge lid locks during rota-
tion and unlocks at the end of each run. Adjustable
sound alarm , brightness and sleep mode are also
standard. Imbalance detection and a temperature
sensor protect the unit from imbalancing and over-
heating.

General safety
•Use only as specied in the operating instruc-
tions provided.
•The unit should not be used if it has encoun-
tered a physical shock or has been dropped.
•The unit must be stored and transported in a
horizontal position (see package label).
•After transport or storage, allow the unit to dry
out (2-3 hrs) before connecting to mains power.
•It is necessary to observe the safety area of 300
mm around the centrifuge in accordance with
EN-61010-2-20. Persons and hazardous materi-
als must not be located in the safety area whilst
the centrifuge is in operation.
•Use only original accessories (rotors, adaptors,
etc.) provided by the manufacturer and ordered
specically for this model.
Electrical safety
•Connect to the mains only with a voltage cor-
responding to that on the serial number label.
•Ensure that the switch and plug are easily ac-
cessible during use.
•Do not plug the unit into the main outlet with-
out grounding, and do not use extension lead
without grounding.
•Before moving the unit, disconnect it from the
mains. To turn o the unit, disconnect the pow-
er plug from the mains outlet.
•It is the user’s responsibility to carry out appro-
priate decontamination if hazardous material is
spilt on or inside the equipment. If liquid is split
inside the unit, disconnect it from the mains
and have it checked by a competent person.
During operation
•Do not centrifuge ammable or chemically vig-
orously reactive materials. If such liquids are
spilled in the rotor or rotor chamber, the centri-
fuge must be cleaned with a moist cloth and a
mild soap solution.
•Do not use rotors with visible signs of corrosion,
wear or mechanical damage.
•Do not ll in the containers after they are insert-
ed in the rotor.
•Do not leave the operating unit unattended.
•Do not operate the unit in environments with
aggressive or explosive chemical mixtures.
•Do not operate the unit if it is faulty or has been
incorrectly installed.
•For indoor use only.
•Do not use outside laboratory rooms.
•Before using any cleaning or decontamination
method except those recommended by the
manufacturer, check with the manufacturer
that the proposed method will not damage the
equipment.
•Do not make modications to the unit.
Biological safety
•Without bioseal, the centrifuge is not a biosafe-
ty system in accordance with EN61010-2-20 and
cannot be used for centrifuging hazardous ma-
terials contaminated with toxic, radioactive or
pathogenic microorganisms.
•It is the user’s responsibility to carry out appro-
priate decontamination if hazardous material is
spilt on or inside the equipment.
Preparation for use
•Unpack the device.
•Inspect the appearance of the device, the adapt-
er and the power cord for damage.
•Open the lid of the CM-50M with the emergen-
cy lid opening lever and remove the packaging
material.( see emergency opening of the centri-
fuge lid p.8).
•In the cold season keep centrifuge at room tem-
perature for at least 2 hours.
•Assembly the rotor.
•Rotor must rotate freely without jamming.
•Centrifuge it self determines and congures to
the installed rotor.
•Connect the centrifuge to the adapter and the
adapter to the socket.
•Thus the light indicators will light up.
•In the absence of faults or damage the centri-
fuge can be considered ready to work.
•In the presence of faults and damage, do not
use the centrifuge without consulting a special-
ist.
ATTENTION! Automatic rotor detection system seamlessly detect a type of rotor installed and reprogram the pa-
rameters of the operation accordingly.
ATTENTION! Network socket must correspond to the adapter plug. In case of non compliance with this condition
the rules of electrical safety are violated.

Rotor assembly and usage
Assembly: Put the rotor on the shaft rst and then
tighten the nut with a provided hand driven key.
Usage: always load the rotor symmetrically. By
minimizing the dierence of weight between the
lled test tubes, you reduce the wear of mechani-
cal parts of the centrifuge. If the overall imbalance
of test tubes exceeds 1gram, centrifuge will stop
and the display will show DISBALANCE error code.
Always apply the accessories for the rotor:
Rotor 50.01 must be used with the aerodynamic
lid which seals the contents of the rotor, reduces
noise level and heating of test tubes.
Rotors 50.02 and 50.03 must be used with the
aerodynamic housing which reduces noise level
and heating of the tubes.
ATTENTION! It is prohibited to apply the aerodynamic housing with the rotor 50.01.
Rotor 50.01
Highspeed rotor 50.01 for 12 test tubes
with aerodynamic, hermetic lid.
Maximal rotation speed 15 000 RPM.

temperature range from +10 C up to +40 C. It is not
recommended to store the equipment more then
36 month.

er during warranty period, are removed free of
charge.
• Warranty is is not valid in the following cases:
If the serial number label of the manufac-
turer is damaged.
If damages appears as a result of the incor-
rect operation, transportation or storage.
• These documents are necessary if applying for
warranty repair:
User manual with serial number of the ma-
chine.
Ocially signed report, describing the rea-
sons and conditions of equipment malfunc-
tion.
• Warranty repair could be performed only if the
equipment is delivered in the original manu-
facturers packaging or equally safe packaging.
Therefore please save the packaging after un-
packing the device.
• If the above warranty requirements are dis-
turbed, repair charges are applied to the con-
sumer.
• For all further questions concerning exploita-
tion and maintenance please contact manufac-
turer or product vendor.
