3. Required Operational Conditions 3.1 Basic operational conditions （1）Power: 110V-240V, 50Hz/60Hz, 3A. （2）Ambient temperature: 2℃~40℃. （3）Relative humidity: ≤80%. （4）No vibration and airflow around. （5）No electric dust, explosive and corrosive gases around. 3.2 Transport and storage conditions （1）Storage temperature: -40℃~55℃. （2）Relative humidity: ≤93%. 4.
4.2 Connection of the power cord and grounding WARNING z To avoid electrical shocks, ensure your hands are dry when touching the power cord. z This centrifuge must be grounded properly. An minimum 10A outlet providing a sufficient ground is required, and this must meet local safety requirements. 5.

Press the button to open the door The button is not available when the centrifuge is running. Press the button to start running.
Main interface is as figure 6-2. The speed is set to be 4500rpm, the door lock is released and the running time is 12 minutes. When speed symbol is rotating, this indicates the centrifuge is running. If the rotation is faster, the speed is higher. Temperature of chamber is displayed and cannot be controlled. Time symbol displays the ratio of working to time setting. The total time setting is divided into 10 sections. 7. Rotor Preparation 7.1 Prepare the samples 7.
8. Operation CAUTION z Do not push or lean against the centrifuge while it is running. z Do not run the centrifuge when fragments or sample solutions are left in the centrifuge chamber. Always keep the centrifugal chamber clean. z If the centrifuge makes strange noise during operation, stop it immediately and contact our service center. Notify them of the warning code if displayed. 8.
z There is a circulating function to increase/decrease the speed values. Rotate the program button clockwise to change settings from small → large → maximum → minimum. Rotate the program button anti-clockwise to change settings from large → small → minimum → maximum. （2）Set the time z Press select button z Rotate the program button z When the time displays HD, this is a continuous running mode. , time value flashes in the time setting mode. to set running time from 30 seconds to 99 minutes. 8.1.
8.2 RCF operation （1） Turn on the power switch （2） Set a RCF (Relative Centrifugal Force) value CAUTION z Do not exceed the allowable maximum RCF value of the rotor and adapters. z Press the select button and choose speed unit ×g, the speed symbol will flash into RCF value input status. z If no button is pressed after the speed value has flashed after 5 seconds, the input mode will be shut down. z Rotate program button to input a RCF value, RCF increment is10×g.
（1）Centrifuge z If the centrifuge is exposed to ultraviolet rays for a long time, the color of the door may be changed or the label may be peel off. After using, cover the centrifuge with a piece of cloth to protect it from direct exposure. z If the centrifuge needs cleaning, clean it with a cloth or sponge moistened with a neutral detergent solution. z Sterilize the centrifuge by wiping with a cloth moistened with 70% ethanol solution.
10. Troubleshooting 10.1 Possible problems and solutions This centrifuge has a self-diagnostic function. If a problem occurs, an error/warning code will be displayed on the time display screen, and the operator can determine the malfunction with the alarm code below. Symptom Causes Solutions Nothing appears on the screen when ·Building power circuit breaker ·Remove the trouble and turn the POWER is turned on. trips. on the POWER.
10.2.2 In the case of power outage The door cannot be opened automatically if there is a power outage. It is available to be opened manually as follows. （1）Ensure if the rotor has stopped rotating. z Listen carefully to ensure no rotating sound can be heard. （2）Insert a screw driver into a hole to open door. z Holes are located on the left and right sides of the unit. z Insert a screw driver into the two holes and push forward to release the door. 11.

11.2.4 Conditions and life expectancy of tubes The life expectancy of plastic tubes depends on the characteristics of samples, speed of the rotor used, temperature applied and so on. When the plastic tubes are used for ordinary aqueous samples (pH between 5.0 and 9.0), their life expectancies are defined as follows. Be operated at the maximum speed: High quality tubes (PA、PC、PP): 30-50 operations Ordinary tubes(PA、PC、PP): around 10 operations（Using in low speed can extend the tube life）.
