SIMPLIFIEDOPERATIONINSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
The Thermo IEC Medilite is a portable benchtop centrifuge designed for use in the physician’s office, the small clinical
laboratory,andintheeducationalfield,toperformseparationsbycentrifugalforce,andnotforanyotherpurpose.
Note: Typicalsound level emissionsdo not exceed70 dB(A)
INSTALLATION
The location of the centrifuge must be clean and dry to allow the suction cup feet to properly and safely secure the centri-
fuge. Thelocationmustbe level andrigid toprovide quietandvibrationfreeperformance. International Electrotechnical
Commissionstandard 1010part 2-20 limitspermitted movementof a centrifuge to 300mmin theevent of adisruption.
Therefore,markthisclearanceenvelopeboundaryaroundthecentrifuge. Laboratoryproceduresshouldrequirethatno
personoranyhazardousmaterialsarewithinthisboundaryduringoperationofthecentrifuge.
Plug the unit into a 120 VAC ± 10%, 50/60 Hz (Cat. No.s 448 & 458) or a 220/240 VAC ± 10%, 50/60 Hz (Cat No.s 449 &
459)groundedreceptacle.
OPERATION
To open the cover, press the black latch button upward, and lift the cover. The rotor is installed by orienting it on the shaft
and pressing down on its center hub. Close the cover securely, ensuring that the latch is fully engaged. To start a run,
turn the timer knob to the desired run duration. (For runs of less than five minutes, turn the timer past the five (5) minute
setting and then back to the desired run duration.) For runs of infinite duration, turn the timer knob to the ‘∞’ setting. The
motorwill takeseveral seconds to reach topspeed.
A run is stopped by either turning the timer knob to the zero (0) setting or by allowing the time to expire. Wait until the rotor
hasstoppedbeforeopeningthecover.

1INTRODUCTION
The Thermo IEC Medilite is a portable centrifuge designed for use
in the physician’s office, the small clinical laboratory and the
classroom.
The unit consists of:
•A baseplate with three rubber suction cup pads for stability.
•A brushless AC motor is attached to the cabinet. The motor is
thermally protected at 100°C in accordance with UL specifications
•A six or twelve place plastic 45°angle rotor
•A 30 minute timer (with hold function)
•A viewport in the cover for easy speed verification

2 INSTALLATION
The unit requires minimal assembly before use.
1. After unpacking, place the unit on a clean, level surface. The
surface must be level to ensure quiet, vibration-free operation.
A rigid, stable location is important because an improperly loaded
unit can vibrate or move.
2. Lift the lever to release the latch. Remove the soft material
covering the plastic shields (6 or 12) that are shipped in position
inside the rotor.
3. Press down on the center hub to ensure that the rotor is secured to
the shaft. Turn rotor by hand to verify it turns freely.
4. Inspect the shields for damage. Make sure the flange of the shield
is flush with the surface of the rotor.
5. Plug the unit into a 120 VAC +/-10%, 50/60 Hz (Cat. Nos. 448 and
458) or a 220/240 VAC +/-10%, 50/60 Hz (Cat. Nos. 449 and
459).

3 OPERATION
3.1 Warnings and Cautions
Warnings
•Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
•Never remove the grounding prong from the power plug or use any
adapter that does not complete the grounding circuit.
•Always unplug the power cord before attempting to clean or
service the unit.
•Do not spin any fluids which have a specific gravity greater than
1.5.
•Do not operate the unit if the shields or rotor show signs of
damage. If deterioration is visible, replace the affected parts
immediately.
•Do not open the lid while the unit is spinning.
Note: Chemical damage can appear as crazing, frosting, peeling or
similar deterioration of the inner cavity or exterior surface of the
shields or rotor. Mechanical damage can appear as cracks, scratches
or gouges on the shield or rotor surfaces.
Cautions •The Thermo IEC Medilite is not intended or recommended for use
with chemical solvents that may weaken critical parts. Refrain
from using prohibited chemicals (see table 1) for cleaning or
centrifugation.
Table 1: Prohibited chemicals
Concentrated Mineral acids (e.g. Hydrochloric, Sulfuric,
Nitric acid, etc.) should not be allowed to come into contact
with the base assembly, rotor or shields of this centrifuge.
These and other parts of the Medilite are not adversely
affected by short-term exposure to other acids or solvents,
hydrocarbons, alkalies or gases. Good Laboratory Practices
for cleaning should be followed and any part of the centrifuge
exposed to strong chemicals should be thoroughly cleaned as
soon as is practical.

3.2 Loading
Unlatch and open the cover. Check that the rotor turns freely and that
there are no loose objects in the chamber.
Load the rotor symmetrically with 2,3,4 or 6 tubes in the 6-place rotor (but
not 1 or 5) or 2,3,4,6,8,9 or 12 in the 12-place rotor (but not 1, 5, 7 or 11).
The tubes must be of equal size and with contents of equal (within 1 gram)
weight. Close the cover securely, ensuring that the latch is engaged.
3.3 Starting a Run
Turn the timer knob to the desired run duration (for runs of under 5
minutes, turn the timer past the five minute setting and then back to the
desired time). For runs in the HOLD mode (infinite duration), turn the
knob speed to the ∞∞ setting. The motor will take several minutes to reach
top speed.
Note: periods of slight vibration during acceleration are normal.
If excessive vibration occurs, turn the timer knob to zero (0). When the
rotor has come to a stop, open the cover and check that the load is
balanced. If the rotor is properly balanced and vibration persists, ensure
that the suction cup feet are clean and adhering to the surface on which the
unit was placed.
3.4 Stopping a Run
To stop a run, turn the timer knob to zero or allow the time to expire. Wait
until the rotor has come to a complete stop, then unlatch and open the
cover.

4 MAINTENANCE
4.1 Cleaning
This section describes the proper method for cleaning your centrifuge.
Always unplug the unit before cleaning.
1. Release the latch, open the cover and unplug the unit.
2. Check the chamber for spills or broken glass. If present, wipe out
the chamber with a water-dampened sponge.
Note: If glass breakage is an on-going condition, we recommend that all
the plastic shields be replaced. Microscopic particles of glass become
embedded in the plastic shields. These particles can come in contact with
new glass tubes, creating a pressure point that may result in recurring tube
breakage.
3. Clean the outside of the unit, the rotor and the chamber with warm
water, mild detergent and a sponge.
Note: To remove the rotor, lift it straight up off its drive shaft. The rotor is
held in place by spring clips that line up flat to the surface on the drive
shaft. To reinstall the rotor, line up the clips with the flat surface and
press it as far down the shaft as it will go.
Warning: Never use any of the chemicals listed in Table 1 for cleaning.
Never use a cleaner that contains abrasives. Check your cleaner to be sure
none of its ingredients will damage the unit.
4.2 Fuse Change
To change the internal fuse(s), open the cover and remove the rotor and
shields. Close the cover. Unplug the centrifuge, carefully place the
machine on its cover and remove the baseplate (four bolts -1/4 inch
socket). The fuses have the following values:
For 120 VAC (Cat. No. 448 & 458) -one 2.5A Slo-Blo part number 65767
For 240 VAC (Cat. No. 449 & 459) -two 1.25A Slo-Blo part number 42517

5 SERVICE
5.1 Troubleshooting
If the unit will not start, check the following in order to isolate the
problem:
•Check the fuse by removing the base of the unit.
•Check the resistance across the coils of the relay, which is approximately
3.5 kΩ.
•Check the latch microswitch and the proximity switch.
There are two switches in the unit. One is the latch switch and the other is
the proximity switch. Both are in series with the relay and must be
‘closed’ in order for the unit to operate.
To access the components, unplug the centrifuge, open the cover, and
remove the rotor. Carefully place the unit upside down on its cover and
remove the four bolts (1/4 inch socket) which secure the baseplate. Lift
the baseplate off.
5.2 Latch Assembly
The latch assembly consists of a catch, a striker, a microswitch, and a
proximity switch. When the cover is closed, the cover striker engages the
microswitch, which senses the status of the cover (open, closed/locked).
The proximity switch also senses the position of the cover for the purpose
of disabling a run unless the cover is fully closed. The proximity switch
magnet is located in the cover and causes the switch located in the cabinet
to actuate.
To remove the latch switch, remove the two Phillips head screws at the
front plate of the unit. Note the wiring to the switch and disconnect.

5.3 Timer/ Relay
The Thermo IEC Medilite has a built-in 30-minute mechanical timer. It
also has a hold mode for indefinite time runs. The timer acts as a switch
delivering power to the motor. To replace it, the knob must be removed.
The knob is pressed onto the timer shaft and may require pliers to remove.
The timer is secured to the base with a nut.
When the timer is set, the timer, through the relay, delivers 120VAC to the
motor. This can verified using a voltmeter measuring across the two black
leads coming out of the timer.
5.4 Motor
The Thermo IEC Medilite uses a brushless induction drive motor. It
requires no maintenance. The speed of the motor is approximately 3100
rpm (60 Hz) or 2700 rpm (50 Hz). This can be verified using an optical
tachometer through the viewport in the cover. (Note: Less than nominal
line voltage will affect the centrifuge’s top speed.)
When isolated, the motor resistance should be approximately 12 Ω. To
replace the motor, remove the four nuts, which secure it to the base.
Disconnect the wiring harnesses of the motor to the relay.
