OPERATION

2. OPERATION

2.1 Mounting and loading angle rotor

2.1.1 Installation of rotors

Clean the drive shaft as well as the collet with a clean, grease-fr ee piece of cloth. Place the rotor onto the drive shaft. (see figure 9) Take care that the rotor is fully installed onto th e motor shaft.

Figure 9

Hold the rotor with one hand and sec ure the rotor to the shaft by turning the fixing n ut clockwise. Tighten fixing nut with enclosed allan key (see figure 10)

Figure 10 Figure 11

ATTENTION: For safety always ensure that rotor fixing screw is tightened before each run!! (see figure 10)

2.1.2 Loading angle rotors

Rotors must be load symetrically and with eq ual weight (se e figure 12+ 13). Th e adapt er may only be load with the appropriate ves sels. The weight differences betwe en the filled vessels are as low as possible to keep. Therefore we recommend to weighting with a balance. This reduces the wear of drive and the acoustic operating noise.

On each rotor is designated how lar ge the maximu m load per hole is . (It is allowed to op erate e.g a 12-place-rotor with 2 or 4 loaded tubes only. But the loaded borings must be opposite each other).

Z306 Instruction manual.docx © Hermle Labortechnik GmbH

OPERATION

Figure 12: wrong

Figure 13: correct (4 tubes)

2.1.3 Loading swing out rotors

Loading of the buckets / vessels must be made in accordance to figure 15 It is allowed to operate e.g. a 4-place-rotor with 2 loaded buckets only. But the loaded buckets must

be opposite to each other. Make sure that the unloaded buckets also be put inside the rotor (see figure 14 and 15).

In principle swing out rotors may not be taken in operation until all buckets or racks are put into the rotor.

The bolts at the rotor must be greased with the HERMLE High EF oil (Order No. 34-5147). The

sample tubes have to be filled evenly by eye and put into the drillings or tube racks The weight difference of the loaded buckets should not exceed approx. 1,0 g.

ATTENTION!

Swing out rotors may be taken in operation only if all locations are filled in with either four buckets or four carriers – do not mix buckets and carriers up!!

Figure 14: wrong

Figure 15: correct

ATTENTION! Do not operate the centrifuge with rotors or buckets which show any signs of

corrosion or mechanical damage. Do not operate with extremel y corrosive substances, which could damage the rotor

and buckets. In case of any questions, please contact the manufacturer!

OPERATION

2.1.4 Loading and overloading of rotors

All approved rotors are listed with their maximum speed and maximum filling weight in „table 2: permissible net weight“ (see APPENDIX P. VI).

The maximum load permitted for a rotor, which is determined by the manufacturer, as well as the maximum speed allowed for this rotor (see label on rotor), must not be exceeded. The liquids the rotors are loaded with, should hav e an max. ho moge neous densi ty of 1,2 g/ml or less when th e rotor is running at maximum speed.

In order to spin liquids with a higher density, the speed has to be reduced according to the following formula:

Reduced speed n

= x max. speed (n

OPERATION

2.7 Imbalance detection

In case of the rotor not being equally loaded, the drive will turn off during acceleration. The rotor decelerates to stand still.

When in the display “time” (A-3) the word “error” (M11) together with the number “01” appear, the weight difference of the samples is too huge. Weigh out the samples exactly!

Load the rotor as described in chapter 2.1.1 and 2.1.2.

When inside the display “time” (A-3) t he word “error” together with the number “02“ (see figure 25) appear, there could be following reasons: The imbalance switch is defective.

MAINTENANCE

3. Maintenance

3.1 Maintenance and cleaning

3.1.1 General Care:

Maintenance of the centrifuge is confined to keeping the rotor, the rotor chamber and the rotor accessories clean as well as to regularly lubricating the rotor insert bolts of a swing out rotor (if available).

The most suitable lubricant is the offered HERMLE High TEF oil – Order no.: 34-5147. Lubricants containing molycote and graphite are not allowed. Please pay special attention to anodized aluminium parts. Breakage of rotors can be caused even

by slightest damages.

In case of rotors, buckets or tube racks getting in touch with corrosive substances the concerned spots have to be cleaned carefully.

Corrosive substances are for instance: alkalis, alkaline soap solutions, alkaline amines, concentrated acids, solutions containing heavy metals, water-free chlorinated solvents, saline solutions, e.g. salt water, phenol, haloge n ated hydrocarbons.

Cleaning – units, rotors, accessories:

- Turn the device off and disconnect it from the power supply before you begin any cleaning or

disinfecting. Do not pour liquids into the housing interior.

- Do spray disinfectant on the device.

- Thorough cleaning not only has its purpose in hygiene but also in avoiding corrosion based

on pollution.

- In order to avoid damaging anodized parts such as rotors, reduction plates etc., only pH-

neutral Detergents with a pH-value of 6-8 may be used for cleani ng. Alkaline cleaning agents (pH-value > 8) must not be used.

- After cleaning, please ensure all parts are dried thoroughly, either by hand or in a hot-air

cabinet (max. Temperature + 50°C).

- It is necessary to coat anodi zed aluminium parts with anti-corrosion o il regularly in order to

increase their life-spans and reduce corrosion predisposition.

- Due to humidity or not hermetically sealed samples, condensate may be formed. The

condensate has to be removed from the rotor chamber with a soft cloth regularly.

The maintenance procedure has to be repeated every 10 to 15 runs, but at least once a week!

- Connect the unit to the power supply, after the equipment is completely dry.

- Do not carry out disinfection with UV-, beta- and gamma-raysor other high energy radiation.

- Metal rotors can be autoclaved.

- Rotor lid and adapters can also be autoclaved (max. 121°C, 20 min).

- The tube racks are made of PP and can not be autoclaved at 134°C.

MAINTENANCE

3.1.2 Cleaning and disinfection of the unit

1. Open the lid before you turn off the unit. Disconnect it from the power supply.

2. Open the rotor nut by turning the rotor key counter clockwise.

3. Remove the rotor.

4. For cleaning and desinfection of the unit and the rotor chamber using the above mentioned

cleaner.

5. Clean all accessible are as of the device and its accessori es, including the power cord with a

damp cloth.

6. Wash the rubber seals and rotor chamber thoroughly with water.

7. Rub the dry rubber seals with glycerol or talc to prevent these to becoming brittle. Other

components of the unit, e.g. the lid lock, motor shaft and rotor must not be greased.

8. Dry the motor shaft with a soft, dry and lint-free cloth.

9. Control the unit and accessories for damage. Remove at least every six months adherent dust from the ventilation slots in the centrifuge by using

a soft brush.

3.1.3 Cleaning and disinfection of the rotor

1. Clean and disinfect the rotors, rotor lids and adapters with the above mentioned c leaner.

2. Use a bottle brush to clean and disinfect the rotor bores.

3. Rinse the rotors, rotorlid and adapter with clear water. Particular the drillings of angle rotors.

4. For drying of the rotors and access ories set them on a towel. Pl ace the angle rotors with bores

down, to dry them to.

5. Dry the rotor cone with a soft, dry and lint-free cloth and look for damage. Do not grease the

rotor cone.

3.1.4 Disinfection of aluminium-rotors

In case of infectious material spilling into the centrifuge, the rotor and rotor chamber have to be disinfected right after the run. Rotors may be autoclaved at a maximum temperature of 121°C.

3.1.5 Disinfection of PP-rotors Autoclaving

The recommended time for autoclaving: 15 – 20 min at 121°C (1 bar)

ATTENTION: The sterilization time of 20 min. must not be exceeded. Sterilizati on again and again will cause reduction of the mechanical resistance of the plastic material

Before the autoclaving the PP-rotor and adapter must thoroughly be cleaned to avoid the burning in of dirty residues.

You can disregard the consequences of some chemical residues to plastic materials at ambient temperatures. But at the high temperatures of the autoclaving those residues may corrode and

MAINTENANCE

destroy the plastic. The objects must be thoroughly washed up with distilled water after the cleaning but before the autoclaving. Residues of any cleaning liquids may cause fissures, whitening and stains.

Gassterilization

Adapters, bottles and rotors may be gassterilized with Ethylenoxyd. According to the duration of the application you may give lo ng enough an airing to the items after the sterilization and befor e using them again.

ATTENTION: Because the temperature may rise during the st erilization, rotors, adapters and bottles must not be closed respectively must be totally unscrewed

Chemical sterilization

Bottles, adapters and rotors may be treated with the usual liquid disinfectants.

ATTENTION: Before applying any other cleaning resp. Decontamination method than recommended by the manufacturer, contact the manufacturer to ensure that it will not damage the unit or the rotor.

3.1.6 Glass breakage

With high g-values, the r ate of glass tube br eakage increases. Glas s splinters have to be removed immediately from rotor, buckets, adapters and the rotor chamber itself. Fine glass splinters will scratch and therefore dam age the protective surface coati ng of a rotor. If glass splinters remain in the rotor chamber, fine metal dust will build up due to air ci rculation. Th is very fine, blac k metal dust will extremely pollute the rotor chamber, the rotor, the buckets and the samples.

If necessary, replace the ada pters, t ubes and ac cessor ies to av oid furth er dama ges. Ch eck the rot or bores regulary for residues and damages.

ATTENTION: Please check the relevant specifications of the tubes centrifuges with the manufacturer!

3.2 Service life of rotors, round and rectangular buckets, accessories

Rotors and rotor lid made of aluminium or s tainless steel , have a operati ng life of max. 7 years fro m first use.

Transparent rotor lids and caps made of PC or PP as well as rotors, tube racks and adapters of PP have a maximum service life up to 3 years from first use.

Condition for the operating life: Proper use, damage-free condition, recommended care.
