Woodley Clinispin Micro II User manual

4. The rotor must be loaded symmetrically.
5. Donot use the centrifuge or rotor if it is not installed correctly or it is damaged.
6. Do not use the centrifuge or rotor if it shows any sign of external mechanical
or electrical damages.
7. The centrifuge must be used only for the specified application. It must not
be operated ina hazardous or flammable environment and no hazardous or
flammable content should be centrifuged.
8. Donot fill tubes while they are in the rotor. Liquid spillage may harm the device.
9. If liquid is spilled on the rotor or rotor chamber, the centrifuge must be cleaned
immediately.
10. “Tube Holders” are a part of the Rotor. They should be placed in the rotor
whether 2,3,4, 6...12 tubes are being used.
11. TROUBLESHOOTING
The centrifuge has a self-diagnostic function. If a problem occurs, an
error/warning code will be displayed on the screen and the operator can
determine the malfunction with the warning code below.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
1. If the centrifuge is working slowly or is hot due to overdraw current, restart the
centrifuge and check it again.
2. Do not use liquid with density higher than 1.2g/ml for full load operation.
12. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
1. The rotor and the outside of the centrifuge should be cleaned regularly with a
damp cloth.
2. Ensure the centrifuge is not connected to power during cleaning.
3. The brushless motor in the centrifuge does not require routine maintenance.
Any service required should be performed by Woodley Equipment Company
only. Repairs performed by unauthorised personnel may void the warranty.
4. Always keep the centrifuge housing, rotor chamber, rotor and rotor
accessories clean. All parts should be wiped down periodically with a soft
cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a neutral cleaning agent (Ph
between 6 and 8) applied with a soft cloth. Excessive amounts of liquid
should be avoided. Liquid should not come into contact with the motor.
5. After cleaning, ensure that all parts are dried.
6. Do not place the rotor into the cleaning solution

6. INSTALLATION
Gently remove the upper packaging and take out
the centrifuge by holding it from the base. When
the centrifuge is used for the first time, ensure
that all the packaging and accessories are
removed from the rotor chamber. The rotor is pre-
installed. Please make sure that the rotor is firmly
tightened. Accessories and the user manual are
kept inside the box with the centrifuge. Please
keep all the packaging in safe storage for at least 2
years for warranty purposes.
7. ROTOR AND REDUCED ADAPTORS
The tablebelow shows the Maximum RCF of the rotor and Maximum RCF with
different tubes and adaptors.
CONNECTING POWER ADAPTOR & ROTOR INSTALLATION
1. Connect one side of the power adaptor to the rear side of the centrifuge and
the other to the power supply as shown in the figure below.
2. Rotate the adaptor nut clockwise to tighten the adaptor with the centrifuge.
Ensure the power switch is OFF while connecting the power adaptor.
3. The sticker on the body and jack are indicating the position of the rib on the
jack. While fitting the adaptor to the unit, please match the sticker position as
shown in the figure below & gently push it in.
4. If matched correctly the plug will go in easily without much force (do not try to
force the plug in if it is not matched properly). Once the plug is inserted into
position, turn the loose upper ring clockwise to tighten and secure the fitment.
The rotor is pre-installed. If any spillage occurs, remove the rotor as shown in the
above figure to clean the rotor and its chamber thoroughly.
8. BALANCING THE ROTOR
Always balance the rotor before centrifugation - symmetrical loading of tubes in
the rotor is necessary otherwise vibration or imbalance can occur which can
damage the centrifuge. The diagram below shows the correct method of
symmetrical loading of centrifuge tubes inside the rotor. The samples in the tubes
should be of equal volume. To achieve a balanced condition, "Reduction
Adaptors” are mandatory to place inside the rotor.
9. OPERATION
After properly installing the centrifuge, switch ON the centrifuge from the rear
side by pressing the power switch. The lid status will be seen in the display. If the
lid is open, the display will show “Lid” and if it is closed, the set RPM will be
displayed. Please ensure that the Tube Holders are inside the rotor.
9.1 START
After setting speed and time parameters as
instructed below press the “START”button to run
the machine.
9.2 STOP/OPEN LID
To stop the machine at any point of time press the
“STOP” button. The lid will open automatically. The
lid will open on its own upon completion of the
run. During acceleration no other button will work
except for the STOP button.
9.3 SPEED
Upon turning the power on the centrifuge, RPM/RCF display will show the
previous set speed. The speed can be set from 500-15000 RPM. The speed can be
set by using “+” button for increment & “-” button for decrement of the values.
The increment/decrement is in values of 100 RPM. The displayed values will be in
multiples of 10 (x10). The values are saved automatically after the display flashes
5 times.
9.4 RPM-RCF SWITCH
Long press the RPM/RCF button to change the mode from RPM to RCF. The
switch over will be indicated by the LED on respective mode. While RCF mode is
ON, speed is to be read as value x10 in the display window. The maximum RCF of
the centrifuge is 15596 xg. Press ‘SPEED’ button to see the corresponding value.
9.5 TIME
Upon turning the power on the centrifuge, TIME display will be of previous set
timer. The timer can be set from 1 minute - 99 minutes and infinite mode. The
timer can be set by using the increment (+) and decrement (-) buttons. The set
time will automatically be saved. The timer operates as a countdown so will run in
descending order during operation of the centrifuge.
9.6 SHORT-SPIN OPERATION
The centrifuge can be operated for a short run by pressing and holding the
SHORT SPIN button. The centrifuge will continue to run as long as the Short-Spin
button is pressed. The time will count up in seconds on the time display for 1
minute then in minutes. After releasing the short spin button, the time in the
display shows the short spin duration. The Short- Spin speed is based on the last
run settings in the memory or set rotational speed prior to short spin as required.
9.7 INCREMENT / DECREMENTS
Press “+” and “-” buttons to increase or decrease the speed or time values.
9.8 OPENING THE CENTRIFUGE LID IN CASE OF POWER FAILURE
Disconnect the centrifuge from the
mains power supply. Wait until the
rotor comes to a standstill. Once the
rotor has stopped, pull out the
emergency lid release (as shown in the
diagram) to open the centrifuge lid.
After the centrifuge lid opens, push the thread back in the hole with your hand
and fit the emergency release cap back in the hole.
9.9 IMBALANCE DETECTION
This centrifuge is equipped with an imbalance detection safety feature. When the
rotor is not loaded symmetrically the imbalance detector is activated. This will cut
off the centrifugation and error “Err55” will be shown on the display. To correct
the imbalance, open the centrifuge lid and correct the imbalance load using
methods described in the balancing the rotor section (page no.4) of this manual.
After correctly loading the tubes into the rotor, turn off the centrifuge and turn it
back on.
10. SAFETY PRECAUTION
1. Never use the centrifuge in any manner not specified in the manual.
2. Never move the centrifuge while it’s operating.
3. The rotor must always be securely fastened. If the centrifuge makes an
unusual noise during the operation, the rotor fit needs to be checked.
