1. Introduction & Safety
The Clinispin Micro III centrifuge should be used in accordance with this User Manual.
Incorrect use may result in equipment damage or personal injury. The Clinispin Micro III
should be used:
•In accordance with design requirements
•By users who are trained and have read the user manual
•By users who have followed the safety protocols set out in this manual
Please read and understand this manual fully before attempting to operate the
centrifuge.
This manual provides important safety information for the Clinispin Micro III Centrifuge. It
should be kept near the centrifuge for quick and easy reference.
The Clinispin Micro III is a high speed centrifuge designed for centrifuging small volumes of
biological fluids at speeds of up to 16,500 RPM.
Speed and time can be easily changed before each run.
The Clinispin Micro III has a welded steel outer and inner casing to protect the motor and
rotor. An automatic lid lock ensures that the lid cannot be opened during running or braking.
When the centrifuge is running, please make sure that there are no hazardous materials
within 30cm of the centrifuge and that no materials are blocking the vent of the centrifuge.
Incorrect use may result in equipment damage or personal injury.
•Do not use the following materials in the centrifuge:
oFlammable/explosive materials
oStrong chemical materials
oToxic or radioactive materials
•For the separation of corrosive substances and biological samples, ensure all tubes
are sealed correctly.
1.1 Notes on Operation
•Please ensure that the rotor is installed correctly and tightened before running the
centrifuge.
•Do not try and open the door manually if the centrifuge is still running.
•The accessories of this centrifuge should be provided by Woodley Equipment
Company.
•The replacement of mechanical and electronic parts of the centrifuge should be
implemented by Woodley Equipment Company authorised personnel.
•Check the rotor regularly. Do not use the rotor if there are obvious signs of corrosion
or damage on the rotor.
•Ensure the rotor is balanced before running.

2. Features
•Maximum volume of 12 x 1.5/2.2ml tubes.
•The tube holders in the rotor are on an angle making it easier to load/unload and helps to
protect the integrity of the separated sample.
•Time is adjustable in increments of 1 minute up to a maximum of 99 minutes.
•Speed is adjustable in increments of 100 RPM up to a maximum of 16,500 RPM.
•RCF display is available with a maximum of 18,320xg.
•Brushless motor for quiet running, fast speeds, fast braking and low maintenance.
•Automatic braking reduces cycle time.
•End of run audible alarm sounds when the rotor has stopped and it is safe to open the lid.
•Automatic lid lock ensures the lid cannot be opened during a run and until the rotor has
come to a complete stop.
•The outer case is constructed of strong welded steel with an internal casing to protect the
motor and rotor.
•Conforms to all CE directives.

Switch on the power at the mains and then turn on the power at the back of the Clinispin
Micro III. The front panel should light up with the red “STBY” light on.
Press the “STOP/OPEN” button to open the lid and wait one second for the lock to open and
the lid to lift slightly.
→Do not touch the top of the lid while pressing the ‘STOP/OPEN’
key.
Ensure blood tubes are balanced before starting the centrifuge.
Close the centrifuge lid carefully until it clicks into position.
Select the Speed and Time settings required with the +/- keys.
Press the key twice quickly in succession for an incremental change
or for larger changes, press the key twice and hold key down until
the desired setting is achieved.
Press the ‘START’ key. The ‘RUN’ light will come on.
If the centrifuge sounds loud and vibrates a lot, press ‘STOP/OPEN’, wait for the centrifuge to stop
and the lid to open, then check that the tubes are balanced.
At the end of the run, wait until the alarm sounds and the speed display has returned to 0. Press the
‘STOP/OPEN’ button to open the lid.
Do not hold or press down on top of the lid.

6. Troubleshooting
The table below shows the error codes of the centrifuge and the reason, as well as the way
to solve the error.
Error Code
Problem Detected
Troubleshooting Information
E2
Overspeed. It stops working
because of detection of
overspeed of rotor.
•Problem with
microcomputer control
system, please contact
Woodley Equipment
Company.
•Problem with speed sensor.
Please contact Woodley
Equipment Company.
E3
Centrifuge lid issue.
•Open and close the lid.
•Please contact Woodley
Equipment Company if the
lid is broken.
E5
Parameter setting is wrong.
•Please re-set according to
content of parameter
setting.
E7
Motor fault.
•Contact Woodley Equipment
Company.
E8
Parameter setting error.
•Follow the parameter
settings to re-set in part.
Fault
Causes and Troubleshooting
No display.
1. Check whether the power outlet and the
connection is ok and if the power supply is
on.
2. Check whether the switch is ok.
3. If the issue still isn’t resolved, please
contact Woodley Equipment Company.
Stops working suddenly.
1. The speed exceeds the maximum rated
speed of the rotor.
2. Once the speed of the rotor exceeds the
rated speed by 250 RPM, the overspeed
alarm will sound. Wait until the centrifuge
stops and reset the speed.
3. The speed exceeds setting speed of the
rotor.
4. If the motor is overheating, the power
supply will be cut inside the centrifuge and
the centrifuge will stop working.

5. If there isn't any display on the keyboard
panel, please check the power supply
system of the centrifuge.
6. The voltage could be low. Please check
whether the voltage of the power supply is
ok.
Lid won’t open.
Manual Lid Release Cord
(Front View)
1. The lid can't open until the rotor stops
turning.
2. Check the assembly of the lid lock.
3. Check the electrical wires of the lid lock.
4. Open the lid manually using the manual
release cord (see image).
5. If the issue still isn’t resolved, please
contact Woodley Equipment Company.
If the manual release cord does not work,
follow the process below:
•Use the supplied spanner to loosen the
nut (anti clockwise) holding the metal
component (lid ‘prong’) in the lid
•Unscrew the prong in or out until its collar
is 1cm from the nut
•Once the prong is installed correctly,
tighten the nut again (clockwise), checking
it is still the same length (1cm)
Heavy vibration of centrifuge.
1. The speed of rotor is over the critical
speed and the centrifuge vibrates.
2. Check whether the rotor is securely in
place.
3. Check the rotor is balanced.
