1 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing this OHAUS product.
Please read the manual completely before using the FrontierTM FC5306 to
avoid incorrect operation.
You will find much helpful functionality in FrontierTM 5000 series centrifuge.
A few of the many existing features for FrontierTM FC5306 are:
Small and exquisite body, one-key operation
Convenient and quick installation and replacement of rotor without
need of using tool
Rotor will immediately stop running if lid is opened during operation
Desktop power adapter is applicable to 100-240V AC power supply
Elaborate product with low noise and long service time
1.1 Safety measures
CAUTION: Read all safety warnings before installing, making
connections, or servicing this equipment. Failure to comply with
these warnings could result in personal injury and/or property
damage. Retain all instructions for future reference.
Measures for your protection
Never work in an environment subject to explosion hazards!
The housing of the instrument is not gas tight. (explosion
hazard due to spark formation, corrosion caused by the
ingress of gases)
When using chemicals and solvents, comply with the
instructions of the producer and the general lab safety rules.
Measures for operational safety
Do not lean on the centrifuge.
Do not stay within the clearance envelope longer than necessary for
operational reasons.
Do not deposit any potentially hazardous materials within the clearance
envelope.
Do not unscrew the two halves of the housing.
Dry off any liquid spills immediately! The instrument is not watertight.

Verify that the AC adapter’s input voltage range and plug type are
compatible with the local AC power to be used.
Do not position the equipment such that it is difficult to disconnect the
AC adapter from the power receptacle.
Make sure that the power cord does not pose a potential obstacle or
tripping hazard.
The equipment is for indoor use only. Use the equipment only in dry
locations.
Use only approved accessories and peripherals.
Operate the equipment only under ambient conditions specified in
these instructions.
Disconnect the equipment from the power supply when cleaning.
Do not operate the equipment in hazardous or unstable environments.
Service should only be performed by authorized personnel.
Exclude the following environmental influences:
Powerful vibrations
Direct sunlight
Atmospheric humidity greater than 80%
Corrosive gases present
Temperatures below 5 °C and above 40 °C
Powerful electric or magnetic fields

2.2 Replacement or Installation of Rotor
1. When the machine is delivered from the factory, the seizing shaft
sleeve and angle rotor are firmly fixed on the shaft of the drive motor.
2. If it is necessary to dismantle an installed rotor, the user should hold
the outside edge of the rotor, and push the protruding clamp towards
its center with two thumbs, then lift the rotor upwards.
3. To reinstall rotor, align the oval hole of rotor over the clamp, then
gently press down the rotor until the clamp clicks into place.

2.3 Power On
1. With the power switch on the back of this machine OFF.
2. Connect the output end of the adapter to the power socket on the
back of the machine, and then plug the unit to a power source.
2.4 Preparation for Centrifugation
1. Open the transparent lid (see photo below) and properly add load
in a balanced manner (refer to section “3.2 use and maintenance”). (refer to “section 3.2 use and maintenance”).
2. Close the lid then press the power switch on the back of this
machine to ON (note: The rotor will not run as long as the lid is open).
2.5 Centrifugation (Running)
1．After the lid is closed and the machine switched on, the rotor will
automatically start running with its speed increasing to the rated
speed, and then it will run stably.
2. Open the lid when the requirement of centrifugation is met, the rotor
will immediately slow down to a complete stop.
3. It is unnecessary to turn off power if another centrifugation is
required.
4. Turn off and unplug the machine when all centrifugation work is
completed or when not in use.

3 SPECIAL ATTENTION
3.1 Power supply
1. The power supply to this machine must be realized through the
adapter provided together with the machine. The AC plug of adapter
should not be connected with three-phase power source.
2. Don’t insert or disconnect the power plug of the adapter with wet hand.
Don’t forcibly pull the cable to disconnect the power plug.
3.2 Use and maintenance
1. Prepare the micro burette of standard specification with hinged
cover for centrifugation. It is only allowed to add sample till approx.
70% of nominal capacity at most. Visually check balance during
adding of sample. Don’t detach any poisonous or infectious biological
sample. Don’t detach flammable or explosive chemical sample.
2. The centrifugal tubes with sample must be symmetrically placed into
the centrifugal tube holes of the rotor to keep the rotor balanced.
3. When the rotor is installed or replaced, excessive sidewise force
should be avoided to prevent its deformation and bending. If the
seizing shaft sleeve around the motor shaft is a bit loose, it is
necessary to fasten the M3 set screw again.
4. Do not use broken or deformed rotor.
5. During daily cleaning and maintenance, the machine should be wiped
with clean water or neutral detergent, and be dried through natural
ventilation.
6. During use, attention should be paid to symmetrical and horizontal
placement of centrifugal tubes.
WARNING: Disconnect the AC adapter from the AC power
supply and the equipment before cleaning. Do not allow liquids
to enter the AC adapter or the equipment.
