Using Rotor Life Management
The rotor type and serial number may be set in rotor management to allow for rotor logging within the
centrifuge. Whether the rotor type and serial number for a particular rotor have been set or not, it does
not affect the normal operation of the ultracentrifuge. However, you are advised to set the rotor type
and serial number of the rotor for each run to allow effective rotor life management. Any registered
rotor that does not have its rotor type and serial number set will appear as an undefined rotor in the
displayed list (“Undefined rotor 1”).
You can use a particular rotor as undefined if you need to manage the rotor separately from the other
defined rotors in terms of the number of runs made and accumulated run time (“Undefined rotor 2”).
For more information on rotor life management, see Section Rotor management.
