WARNING：
⚫Improper power supply may damage centrifuge.
⚫Make sure the power source conforms to the required power supply before connecting.
3.1 Location
（1）Place the centrifuge on a firm, flat and level table, ensure the four feet of this centrifuge stand on the
table firmly. Avoid installing on the slippery surface or surface prone to vibration.
（2）Ideal ambient temperature is 20℃±5℃, avoid placing the centrifuge in direct sunlight if temperature
exceeds 30℃.
（3）Keep clear of the centrifuge at least 10cm on both sides and at least 30cm behind it to guarantee the
cooling efficiency.
（4）Keep away from heat or water to avoid sample temperature issues or centrifuge failures.
3.2 Connection of the power cord and grounding
WARNING：
⚫Toavoid electrical shocks, ensure your hands are dry when touching the power cord.
⚫This centrifuge must be grounded properly.
A minimum 10A outlet providing a sufficient ground is required, and this must meet with local safety
requirements.

6. Rotor Preparation
6.1 Prepare the samples
6.2 Inject the samples into tubes.
CAUTION：
⚫Do not overload samples into the centrifuge which will cause leaking.
⚫Do not exceed the actual capacity allowed in the user manual.
6.3 Keep the tubes balance
⚫Although the centrifuge can accept sample balancing by eye, we recommend that you keep this
centrifuge in a well-balanced condition to extend its life expectancy.
⚫Never intentionally run the centrifuge under unbalanced condition even though the allowable
imbalance is not exceeded.
6.4 Inspect the rotor
Check the rotor for corrosion or scratches before using.
CAUTION：
⚫Any abnormality such as corrosions or scratches are found, stop using the rotor and contact our service
center.
⚫Only manufacturer’s rotors must be used with the unit.
6.5 Symmetrically load centrifuge tubes in rotor
CAUTION：
⚫Make sure the rotor lid is securely fixed on the rotor, as well as the rotor and shaft are tightened.
Otherwise, the rotor may be moved off while rotating and cause damage of the centrifuge and rotor.

7. Operation
CAUTION：
⚫Do not push or lean against the centrifuge while it is running.
⚫Do not run the centrifuge when fragments or sample solutions are left in the centrifuge chamber.
Always keep the centrifugal chamber clean.
⚫If the centrifuge makes strange noise during operation, stop it immediately and contact our service
center. Notify them of the warning code if displayed.
7.1Normal Operation
Turn on the power switch, centrifuge will display the running interface last time after passing the self-
diagnostic checks, see figure 8-1 below:
Figure 8-1 the last running interface
⚫Speed: 15000rpm. Running time: 12 minutes.
⚫The door lock is released.
7.1.1 Rotor loading and removal
CAUTION
⚫Attach the rotor to the rotor shaft. Ensure the rotor is in position and connected with the shaft,
tightening the locking nut to secure the rotor with shaft, to prevent the rotor damaging the centrifuge.
⚫Ensure the rotor lid is firmly tightened to the rotor.

7.1.1.1 Load the rotor to the shaft to ensure rotor is in position until it connected well with the shaft.
7.1.1.2 Rotate the rotor slightly by your fingers to check, if the rotor vibrates, if so attach the rotor
again.
7.1.1.3 Hold on the rotor with one hand, tighten clockwise the nut with the other hand, and make
sure tighten firmly.
7.1.1.4 Put the rotor lid to the rotor, press the fastener down and make the
fastener att tightly.
7.1.1.5 Close the door and start running.

7.1.1.6 To release the rotor, firstly pull the fastener up to remove the lid, and then turn the locking
nut anti-clockwise.
CAUTION
⚫Check the rotor is firmly tightened before running.
7.1.2 Set the operation parameters
Press the button to select required parameters. The parameter can be modified when the parameter is
flashing. Clockwise rotate the parameter button to increase parameter value; counter-clockwise rotate the
parameter button to decrease parameter value. Parameter button rotate faster, parameter value
increase faster. The minimum speed increment is 100 rpm, the minimum time increment is 1 second.
（1）Set the speed
⚫Press the select button until the speed rpm is displayed.
⚫When the speed button is selected, the speed symbol will flash the speed value.
⚫The minimum speed value you can set 500rpm, the minimum increment is 100rpm.
⚫Rotate program button clockwise to increase speed value, rotate the program button anti-clockwise
to decrease speed value.
⚫You can speed-up set the speed value by rotating program button quickly.
⚫There is a circulating function to increase/decrease the speed values. Rotate the program button

button anti-clockwise to change settings from large → small →minimum → maximum.
（2）Set the time
⚫Press button , time value flashes in the time setting mode.
⚫Rotate the program button to set running time from 30 seconds to 99 minutes.
⚫When time displays HD, this is a continuous running mode.
7.1.3 Start the operation
（1）Press running button to start running
⚫Timer will operate once the speed setting value is reached, the screen displays the remaining run time.
（2）View and modify the operation programs
⚫Pressing button , returns the display to the program interface and displays settings programs. Press
the select button to the desired program. When flashing, rotate parameter button to modify
values. Release the button after 5 seconds, and the centrifuge will return to normal operation mode and
run according to the new value.
⚫If the set time value has been modified, the operation time is not affected and will continue.
（3）Warning display
⚫If an error occurs during the operation, the centrifuge will brake to stop automatically, and display the
error code on the time/display area. The error code can be checked in the table 10-1, and corrective
actions can be applied accordingly.
7.1.4 End the operation
（1）The centrifuge will brake when it reaches the setting time or button is pressed.
⚫When the rotor stops rotating, centrifuge will start beeping to alert the operation has finished.
（2）Open the door
⚫The door can be released automatically when the operation has stopped.
⚫With the door closed, you are able to press the button to open it.
⚫After ending the operation, the program will store the setting parameters of this operation, and will
recall these parameters when restart the program.
