SECTION 1 –INTRODUCTION
1.1. USE AND FUNCTION
NF 200 Bench Top Centrifuge is especially designed for the separation of blood samples,
sedimentation of urine particles and for the separation of substance or substance mixtures in
laboratories.
By means of the programmable microprocessor control system, speed, RCF value and time
could be programmed and the ‘pulse’ function allows the operator to run short spins.
NF 200 ensures safe operation by means of the locking system which does not allow the
centrifuge to operate if the lid is open the lid cannot be opened while the rotor is spinning.
There are audible and visible alarms to inform the operator when the lid is open, when the
program ends and when any error condition occurs. In case of a power failure, the lid could
be opened manually by using a manual lid opening tool. There is also an observation hole on
the lid to check the speed of the centrifuge by a tachometer.
NF 200 is delivered with 12x15 ml angle rotor made of polypropylene.
NF 200 Bench Top Centrifuges are manufactured according to the following
standards,
EN 61010-1, EN 61010-2-020, EN 61000-6-3, EN 50419, EN 61326-1.
This device is in compliance with WEEE Regulation.

2.4. RECAUTIONS AND USAGE LIMITATIONS
•Do not use the device for any purpose other than the usage purpose.
•Prior to first use, the user’s manual should be read and the device is only to be used by
authorized and trained personnel. Only authorized technical personnel handle the
product in case of any failure.
•The working bench should be durable to the device weight and vibration isolated.
•Ensure that the rotor is placed correctly prior to usage.
•According to the standard IEC 61010-2-020, anyone and any hazardous materials
should not be in the 300 mm safety zone while centrifuge is running.
•Do not move the device while it is running.
•Do not open the lid while rotor is spinning.
•Apply the manual lid opening procedure in the case of power cut or in the case of any
error.
•Use only the the spare parts, rotors and accessories which are supplied by NUVE.
•Load the rotor according to the explanations in the user’s manual.
•Start the device after ensuring the rotor is loaded correctly.
•Do not use the centrifuge in areas which are in explosive danger.
•Do not centrifuge the explosive, flammable, radioactive, corrosive materials and the
materials which may react with each other.
•The centrifuge and the rotor are not microbiologically leak-proof. Use tubes with leak-
proof covers, if hazardous, toxic and pathogenic microorganisms are centrifuged.
•Do not use corrosive materials which may be harmful for the device integrity, rotor and
accessories.
•Do not use rotors and accessories with corrosion and mechanical damages.
•Mains supply should be appropriate to power of the device and grounded.
•Use tubes whose sizes are suitable to the rotor and accessories.
•Tubes which are used in the centrifuge should not be deformed by the effect of the
centrifuge force.

7
•Use glass tubes to balance, if glass tubes are used. Use plastics tubes to balance, if
plastics tubes are used.
•Do not start the device unless tubes are in balance.
•Imbalance loading may cause mixing the samples, broken tubes, and damages on the
rotor and motor shaft.
SECTION 3 –SYMBOLS
SECTION 4 –INSTALLATION
4.1. LIFTING AND TRANSPORT
Because of the heavy weight of the centrifuge, all lifting and transport must be carried out
using proper handling equipment. The centrifuge should be lifted from underneath and never
be turned over.
4.2. UNPACKING
Remove the packing cardboard box and the second nylon packing around the centrifuge.
The below written are provided with the instrument, please check them;
•1 ea. User’s manual
•1 ea. Warranty certification
•1 ea. Power cable
•1 ea. Manual lid opening tool
4.3. POSITIONING
•Check that no damage has occurred during transport.
•Check that the positioning is suitable for users.
•Lift the centrifuge (use proper handling equipment if necessary) underneath and carry it
to its place. Check that the centrifuge is stable on its four pads.
•The bench-top must be rigid enough to support the weight and vibrations.
•Leave 30 cm. free space on the every side of the centrifuge.
•Open the lid by using unlocking tool and check no substances left in the bowl.
•Make sure that the centrifuge does not occupy the utilization space of nearby
equipment or do damage to them.
•The user should be able to follow the centrifuge during the operation.
If mentioned warnings are not considered, nüve will not be responsible
from their results.
Symbol in the operating instructions: Attention, general hazard area.
This symbol refers to safety relevant warnings and indicates possibly
dangerous situations. The non-adherence to these warnings can lead to
