INTRODUCTION TO YOUR CENTRIFUGE 1.
INTRODUCTION TO YOUR CENTRIFUGE 11 The Harrier Centrifuge range are CE marked in line with required European Directives for Electromagnetic and Low Voltage Compatibility, see “Declaration of Conformity” for EC directive/standard used. 120v units designed for CSA approval to the following standards: CAN/CSA CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 1010.1-92 C22.2 No. 1010.2.
GOOD OPERATOR PRACTICE 2. 12 INSTALLATION Remove the centrifuge from its packaging and place it on a rigid, level surface. DO NOT LIFT THE CENTRIFUGE BY IT'S LID. The location of the keyboard, display, air inlet, lid lock access hole, and the release handle are shown in Figure 1 on page 8. The location of the serial number label, power switch and fuses are shown in Figure 2 on the same page. IMPORTANT: THE ROTOR MUST NOT BE FITTED WHEN MOVING THE CENTRIFUGE OR DURING TRANSIT.
GOOD OPERATOR PRACTICE 2.1 13 Connecting the power supply 230v centrifuge - Connect the 3-core cable to a 3-pin plug, fitted with a 13 amp fuse. Brown wire to Live (L) terminal Blue wire to Neutral (N) terminal Yellow/Green wire to Earth (E) terminal NOTE: BS EN 61010-2-020 ‘Particular Requirements for Centrifuges’ states that a remote switch, preferably adjacent to the room exit is a requirement in case of unit malfunction. 120v centrifuge - supplied with fitted plug. 2.
GOOD OPERATOR PRACTICE 3. 14 GOOD OPERATOR PRACTICE Please read the following notes before attempting to operate the centrifuge. 3.1 Spillage In the event of a liquid spillage the affected surfaces should be cleaned immediately. The rotor and accessories should be removed for thorough cleaning. Regular cleaning of the centrifuge is highly recommended to avoid the build up of contaminants. 3.2 Materials with specific gravity in excess of 1.
GOOD OPERATOR PRACTICE 3.4 15 Infective samples Very special care is necessary when infective materials are to be centrifuged. Sealed containers should always be used. The caps should be double checked to ensure that they are not damaged and fit correctly prior to starting the centrifuge. After use containers and caps should be sterilised immediately using a non-corrosive method.
THE CONTROL PANEL 4. 16 THE DISPLAY AND CONTROL PANEL The displays and keys on the control panel are labelled as follows:1. Run time display 2. Speed/RCF display - when displaying RCF values a point will be displayed in the bottom right hand corner 3. *Temp display 4.

HOW TO USE YOUR HARRIER 18/80 5. 17 HOW TO USE YOUR HARRIER CENTRIFUGE Connect to the power supply. Press the power ON switch, -situated on the left hand side panel of the centrifuge (see Figures 1 & 3) - 0 = OFF, 1 = ON. The status display will become active and an audible signal will inform the user that the instrument is ready for use. On power up the centrifuge will display the values which were current when the instrument was last switched off. An example of the display is shown below.
HOW TO USE YOUR HARRIER 18/80 5.3 18 Fitting the rotor If the centrifuge has been supplied with a matched wind shielded rotor (MSB080.CR2.K and MSB080.CR2.H) ensure that when fitting the rotor the alignment marks (yellow dots) on the drive head and the rotor are lined up. Locate the rotor on the drive head and tighten the rotor nut firmly by using the spanner provided, while holding the rotor stationary. DO NOT RUN THE CENTRIFUGE WITHOUT A ROTOR BEING FITTED TO THE DRIVE SHAFT.
HOW TO USE YOUR HARRIER 18/80 19 Refer to the chapter headed “Good Operator Practice” on page 14 for centrifugation of samples with the following characteristics:Specific gravity in excess of 1.2 Corrosive materials Infective samples 5.5 Balancing the rotor The loads should be reasonably balanced, which, in most cases, means equalising the liquid levels by eye. In the swing out rotor do not exceed 5 grams between loads when fully or partially loaded. When loading trunnion carriers (Cat.No.34136.
HOW TO USE YOUR HARRIER 18/80 20 5.8.2 Time hold If the unit is not required to run to a specific time press the TIME HOLD key, the time display will read “hold”. To revert back to a timed run press time hold again. On time hold the unit will run for 99 hours 59 minutes before stopping. It can be manually stopped at any time by pressing the (stop) key. 5.8.3 Entering speed (RPM) To change the speed, press the (speed) key. The displayed speed will flash and status will read “SET SPEED”.
HOW TO USE YOUR HARRIER 18/80 21 5.8.7 Entering acceleration and brake rate To change the acceleration and brake rate press the ACCEL/BRAKE key. The brake display will flash and read “SETACCEL”. Enter the acceleration rate and press ACCEL/BRAKE again. The display will read “SETBRAKE”. Enter the brake rate. If an error is made press CE and re-enter the value. Once the correct values have been entered press ACCEL/BRAKE again, and the display will stop flashing. The status will read “READY”.
HOW TO USE YOUR HARRIER 18/80 5.12 22 Opening the lid if there is a power failure It will not be possible to open the lid by the normal method of pushing the release handle if there is a power failure, or if the lid lock has been deliberately disabled by the control system for safety reasons. The procedure below should be followed in these circumstances:1. Switch the centrifuge OFF - WAIT 5 MINUTES TO ENSURE THE ROTOR HAS STOPPED. 2.
ERROR MESSAGES 6. 23 ERROR MESSAGES Any error message is intermittently displayed in the status display. The display is accompanied by an audible alarm.

MAINTENANCE 8. 41 MAINTENANCE This section describes the basic maintenance procedures, in particular, the methods and materials used for cleaning the centrifuge, rotors and accessories. To ensure reliability and safety it is recommended that a inspection of the centrifuge is made after 1000 hours of operation, or at least once per year whichever is the sooner, this should include rotors and accessories. Electricity at Work Regulations (1989).
MAINTENANCE 42 8.4 O-Rings Ensure that the O-Rings fitted to the sealing caps and covers are lightly coated with silicone grease. Check the O-Rings regularly for cuts and abrasions, replacing as necessary but at least once a year. 8.5 Sterilisation All of the rotors, buckets and sealing caps (with O-Rings removed) may be sterilised by autoclaving at 120°C. DO NOT autoclave any parts where the protective finish is scratched or damaged. 8.
MAINTENANCE 8.8 43 Replacing the fuse TO BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN ONLY. The main power supply incorporates a fuse protection on both the live and the neutral connections, the locations of the fuses are shown in Figure 2 on page 8. The main connection plug on the 230v instrument should also be fitted with a fuse. The appropriate fuse ratings are as follows:Voltage 120v 230v 230v plug Harrier 15/80 (air cooled) 15 amp (6.
