Brake Rate Pulse (secs)

Hold down Pulse to run
0-9 Brake Rate Options centrifuge. Time (in seconds)
counted up from zero on
To Increment Brake Rate: time display.
Hold down Brake Rate and press Release button when desired
Speed Up or Down arrows. time is reached.

Start/Stop Lid Open

To start, shut lid and press Start. Press when LED display
Centrifuge will run to set time and then indicates OPEn.
automatically brake to STOP.
Press STOP if you need to stop before
timer ends
 TROUBLESHOOTING (Indicative only)

OPEn WAIt baL?

The rotor has stopped spinning. You may now
open the lid. Press the ‘Lid Open’ button.
You have tried to open the lid. Please wait for 10
seconds and try again. If the lid still does not
open: check that the rotor has stopped turning,
insert lid release tool into side hole (on right) and
lever down. The lid will ‘pop’ open.
An imbalance has occurred. Check that the
tubes are correctly placed in the rotor. If tubes
are correctly placed and baL? still showing please
contact your service department.

tAcho?
The rotor has not turned in 5 seconds. Check
that nothing is preventing the rotor from turning
i.e tall tubes or packaging. If tAcho? still
showing please contact your service department.
Lid?
The lid has opened during the run. The motor
will now brake. After it has come to a complete
stop you may open the lid. Check that the lid is
correctly shut. If Lid? still showing please
contact your service department.

Tachometer
• The Tachometer is a horseshoe LED type, 5volt, sensing dark and light current off the butterfly interrupter.
• The only adjustment necessary is to make sure the sensor is central to the horseshoe array.
• Apart from a light haired brush to the sensors, to remove dust no other maintenance is necessary.

Motor connections
• These are the Mains power connections to the series
wound motor.

• Connection is to J1

Lid Locking Mechanism and Solenoid

• The two point locking mechanism is released by a 12-volt solenoid, capacitor at 20 volts, for a brief period.
• This method gives maximum power for a short period without the possibility of burning out the Solenoid
Coil, by remaining on, thus by constantly pressing the lid open button, a ‘WAit’ message appears on the LED
this is while the capacitor charges (approximately 4 seconds).

• The lid open sensor is a V3 microswitch, wired normally open.

• The actuation is on the latch arm; adjustments can be made only by removing the front panel and trimming
the V3 microswitch arm. The switch is situated front right above the Solenoid (see Picture below).

• The Solenoid plug is a 4 way connection to J5 on the Circuit Board (see Picture below)
• Apart from adjustment to the Microswitch, or Lid latches (on the lid) dependant on wear.
• No other maintenance is necessary

Imbalance Detector
• The imbalance Detector is a V3 microswitch wired normally
closed.

• A break in the circuit actuates the motor brake and the rotor
comes to a safe stop.

• The circuit is 5 volt from the main board.

• The adjustment is by two pozihead screws on the underside of the
base plate.

• Release and push forward or backwards to adjust.

NOTE: a 3mm gap should be between the stop and the detector arm
for normal use.

Mains Inlet Filter
• The Mains inlet is double fused, with an IEC Socket for the power source.
• It is held in place with 2 Countersunk M3 Screws.
• Fuses are 5 x 20mm 6.3 (TA) Slow blow only.
• Wiring to filter is shown as below.

Filter
To comply with EMC regulations a 5 amp filter is fitted.
This has been tested and complies with radiated and transmitted
specifications.

Connections are as on the Filter and should NOT be reversed

Buzzer and Fitment (optional extra)

• The buzzer is a 12 volt type, fitted to the front panel by a tape backing.
• The connection is to J6, a 3 pin connector.
• The buzzer sounds at the end of the run, stays on for a few minutes and then shuts off (so as not to be
intrusive).

• No maintenance is necessary.

34
Transformer and Connection
• The transformer is a 12 volt 20Va type, held in position with two flat washers, spring washers and M4 nuts.
This unit powers the circuit board (regulated down further to 5 volts), lid lock and buzzer.

• The wiring from the top is Mains voltage (brown wires). Area dependent.
• The two lower wires (as marked are 12 volt) DO NOT USE mains power here.
• These 12 volt (blue wires) pass into a Molex two pin plug to J2 on the circuit board.
