CAUTION - DANGER!
To protect people and the environment observe the following safety measures:
The CRYOFUGES are neither made inert nor protected against explosion. Therefore, do not use the
centrifuge in environments where there is a risk of explosion.
During centrifuging, the presence of persons or dangerous materials is prohibited within a 30 cm safety
zone around the appliance!
The centrifuging of radioactive, flammable, explosive materials or those which chemically react with each
other with high energy, is prohibited unless suitable safety systems are used (e.g. protective chambers).
During the centrifuging of toxins or pathogenic micro-organisms without suitable safety systems, it is
prohibited to use vessels without (or with defective) BIO SEALS. The user is obliged to carry out suitable
disinfecting measures, in case any dangerous materials have entered the appliance or any parts of it.
Under no circumstances manually open the lid when the rotor is still moving!
It is prohibited to program any rotor or bucket other than those inserted.
Exclude any improper operation, such as:
Incorrectly installed centrifuge.
Operation with casing or parts thereof removed.
Operating the centrifuge after interference in mechanical or electrical components by non-authorised
persons.
Starting the centrifuge with a non-permitted rotor.
Operating the centrifuge with partially empty bucket holders or incorrectly inserted buckets.
Overloading the rotor – exceeding the maximum weight of the swing buckets (with load) permitted for a
determined speed.
Centrifugation of highly corroded substances, which can cause material damage and can decrease the
mechanical strength of rotors and swivel vessels, without sufficient protective measures.
Operating the centrifuge with rotors and buckets, which are already showing clear signs of corrosion or
mechanical damage.
Use of rotors and accessories, which are not expressly approved by KENDRO Laboratory Products with
the exception of standard centrifuge vessels made of glass or plastic.

Description of Appliance
Classification
The CRYOFUGE 6000i and the CRYOFUGE 8500i are temperature controlled, microprocessor driven and
programmable laboratory centrifuges for universal use in large laboratories, blood banks and other opera-
tions of the pharmaceutical and bio-technical industries. The CRYOFUGES are built as floor-standing appli-
ances with frequency controlled and maintenance-free induction motors and are designed for a wide range
of accessories. They belonged to group 3 according to the German Medical Appliance Ordinance (Med
GV). In the framework of European harmonisation, the Med GV was replaced by the Medical Product Law
(MPG).
Definition
The CRYOFUGES are surrounded by a stable and completely welded sheet steel housing. The rotors are
driven directly by a frequency controlled, maintenance-free induction motor with high acceleration perform-
ance. This motor runs with little noise and vibration, even at high speeds, and has an extremely long life
cycle. It is secured on the bed plate preventing vibrations and is sealed by a rubber flange towards the rotor
chamber. In order to control the temperature, the appliances are equipped with compressor systems for
environmentally friendly refrigerants.
The central processor monitors the sequencing, the speed measurement and control, the temperature
measurement and control, the safety systems and the error messages of the centrifuge.
An additional microprocessor is responsible for the key and display functions and is also used for saving
parameters. The practical SEPACONTROL system takes care of the operation and programming of the
centrifuge.
Safety Equipment
Rotor chamber armouring
The high-grade steel rotor chamber is surrounded by a massive armoured boiler. This armouring is able to
absorb the full rotation energy in the case of a rotor crash.
Lid lock
The centrifuge lid can only be opened when the rotor speed has dropped to < 10 rpm and the appliance is
connected to the electricity supply. The centrifuge can only be started when the lid is correctly locked on
both sides and the "OPEN" display disappears.
Thermal motor and electronic protection
In the case of the motor or the heat dissipater overheating, the power electronics is switched off, in order to
protect the drive and the electronics against damage (error message "E-08").
Imbalance switch
The drive system is provided with an imbalance switch to protect against inadmissible imbalances. If the
permitted imbalance is exceeded, the LED "imbalance" is alight, accompanied by an intermittent alarm, and
the centrifuge automatically decelerates until it comes to a standstill.

Description of Appliance

Protection against excess temperature
The centrifuges have 2 different protection systems against excess temperature:
1.Programmable protection against excess temperature (DT function)
Depending on the programmed set temperature, an increase in temperature (DT) of a minimum of 5 K
can be set. If the display exceeds the value of temperature pre-selection plus DT when the rotor is
turning, the excess temperature alarm is activated (LED "overtemp“ is alight, the alarm signal is acti-
vated and the rotor is stopped).
If no value is set for DT (display "- -"), the excess temperature alarm is activated when the temperature
display exceeds 51°C.
2. Excess temperature protection sensor
The excess temperature alarm is activated, when the temperature of the sensor located in the rotor
chamber exceeds 70°C.
Lid emergency opening
CAUTION- DANGER!
Opening the lid while the rotor is moving is prohibited!
In the case of a power failure, the electrical unlocking of the lid does not work. To remove the specimen
after the rotor has stopped, there is a manual opening device.
In this case, proceed as follows:
Switch off and disconnect the centrifuge from the power supply.
Ensure that the rotor is at a standstill (view window)!
Unlock and open the front door with a square socket spanner.
Pull down both pull cords on the right, the lid catch is mechanically unlocked.
Accessories
The centrifuge delivered also includes 2 metal rails for rolling the centrifuge down from the palette as well as
an open jawed spanner (17 mm/19 mm) and a socket spanner (10 mm) for assembling and dismantling the
rotor. Two further open jawed spanners (24 mm and 8 mm) are intended for fixing and securing the stand
feet. The square socket spanner is used to open the front door.
Furthermore, 50 ml corrosion protection oil (order number 70009824) for maintaining the metallic rotor and
bucket surfaces and a can of grease (order number 70006692) for lubricating the retaining bolts of the
swing rotor are delivered with the centrifuge.

Transport and Installation
Transport and Storage
The centrifuge is securely fixed to a wooden board with 4 screws and steel straps and is packed in a carton
made from corrugated cardboard. It is best to use a fork lift truck, as it grips under the palette so that the
centrifuge can be transported and loaded in an up-right position. It must be ensured that the appliance is
transported as dry and with as little dust and vibration as possible. The centrifuge must be stored in a dry
and dust free room until its final installation on location.
WARNING!
Before transporting the centrifuge (in the case of a future move), the rotor must always be re-
moved! Damage to the rotor and the centrifuge cannot be ruled out if these instructions are not
followed.
Unpacking the CRYOFUGE
Before unpacking, ensure that the floor is stable and even. To
roll the centrifuge down, a free area of at least 2m (appliance
and rails) is required
First remove the surrounding carton. Then the centrifuge cov-
ered with corrugated cardboard is visible (Illustration 1).

Metal rail
Strip (to be removed)
Wooden lath for support
After removing the steel straps, the 4 securing screws and
transportation sleeves, the steel rails are removed and are
fixed to the palette in front of the wheels using the supplied
nails as shown in Illustration 2.
When doing this, ensure that the rails are parallel!
The wooden lath supplied must be pushed under both steel
rails for support with the narrower side facing upwards.
Illustration 2: Lining up the metal rails so that they are par-
allel and securing them with the nails.
Now, remove the stand feet (if attached) after screwing in the
appropriate screws (Illustration 3 and 4).

Transport and Installation
14
Screw in the stud bolts and safety hooks up to the top, so that they
do not get caught when the centrifuge is being rolled down.
Illustration 4: Removing the stand feet
When rolling the centrifuge (observe weight) down from the pal-
ette, at least 2 adults are required (see Illustration 5). In case of
doubt, use a third person.
Once again ensure that the rollers run smoothly over the rails and
check the steering rollers are facing the rear.
Illustration 5: Centrifuge being slowly rolled from the palette by
2 people
After installation at the location, re-attach the stand feet.
Observe requirements of the place in which the centrifuge is to be
installed!
Screw out the stud bolts, put the appliance feet underneath in the
centre and align the centrifuge so that all feet are equally burdened
(carry out the toppling test) and the transport rollers are approxi-
mately a hand’s width from the floor.

Unpacking the Rotor
To avoid damage during transportation, the rotor is delivered
in special packaging. The contents of the steel armoured car-
ton on the wooden palette are wrapped in foam.
To unpack the contents, proceed as follows:
1. Cut and remove the steel straps using snips (Illustration 7).
2. Cut open the carton along the edges (Illustration 8).
3. Remove the foam padding and take out the buckets and other
accessories (Illustration 9).
4. Take the lid off the uncovered tubular frame and cut the steel
straps using snips and remove them (Illustration 10).

 Unscrew the nut from the central fastening screw.
The supplied open jawed spanner size 17 can be used for this. Keep
the nut and steel washer for subsequent transportation (Illustration
11).
6. After removing the upper piece of wood, the rotor is free. Remove the
spacer, which prevents the central securing screw from rattling, from
the flanged nut and keep it (Illustration 12).
7. The rotor weighs approx. 25 kg and is therefore best transported by
two people, as shown in Illustration 13
WARNING!
Under no circumstances hold the rotor by the wind boiler
and try to transport it in this way! The wind protection
boiler could bend, and then the rotor may no longer be
able to rotate perfectly, if these instructions are not fol-
lowed!
8. Keep the packaging in case of subsequent transportation (bottom
plate, top plate, 4 rectangular shaped wooden supports, 1 wooden
palette, 1 nut (17 mm), 1 steel washer, 1 spacer, see Illustration 14).
