3. OPERATION

3.1 Mounting and loading rotor

3.1.1 Installation of rotors

For FC5513 centrifuge packaged with rotor already installed, these following steps are not necessary.
Clean the drive shaft as well as the collet with a clean, grease-free piece of cloth. Place the rotor onto the drive shaft.

(See figure below). Take care that the rotor is fully installed onto the motor shaft.

Nut for Rotor Tool for rotor Snap-on lid Screw-on lid

Figure. 11-1 Figure. 11-2 Figure. 11-3 Figure. 11-4

Hold the rotor with one hand and secure th e rotor to the shaf t by turning the fixing nut c lockwise. Tighten the fixing
nut with enclosed rotor key (See figures 11)
Rotor with hermetical sealed lid has to be locked with provided rotor key. Therefore hold the rotor with one hand and
secure the rotor by turning the fixing nut clockwise (see Figure 11)
We will provide a tool for none-nut rotor with centrifuge, the tool for nut-rotor will be provided with rotor.

ATTENTION:

Check that the fixing screw is properly installed before each run. (See figure 9)
Do not operate the centrifuge with rotors or buckets which show any signs of corrosion or mechanical

damage.
Do not operate with extremely corrosive substances, which could damage the rotor, buckets and

3.1.2 Loading angle rotors

Rotors must be loaded symmetrically and with equal weight (See figure below). The adapter may only be loaded with
the appropriate vessels. The weight differences between the filled vessels should be kept as low as possible.
Therefore we recommend weighing them with a balance. This reduces the wear of the drive and the acoustic
operating noise.
On each rotor, the maximum load per hole is stated.

3.1.3 Loading and overloading of rotors
All approved ro tors are listed with their max imum speed and m aximum filling weight in "table 2 permissibl e net

weight" (See APPENDIX).

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
have a maximum homogeneous density of 1.2 g/ml or less when the 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:

3.2.2 Lid lock

The lid should only be put down slightly. An lid lock closes the lid, at the same time the word "open" (M2) disappears
(refer to figure 15).
As a sign that the centrifuge is ready for starting, in the display "RPM | RCF" (A-1) the word "close" (M1) appears.
Simultaneously the word "rotor" (M3) is displayed, as well as the code number of the rotor, which is in the centrifuge
system, "no 71" (M4). With that, all rotor specific data, like e. g. max. speed, acceleration etc., are adopted.

ATTENTION:

Don't grip your fingers between lid and device or locking mechanism when closing the lid!

Before closing the lid, please check if the rotor is tightened.

3.3 Preselection

3.3.1 Preselection of speed / RCF-value

This pre-selection is activated through the k ey "RPM/RCF" (5) (refer to figure 16 below). By press ing the k ey once
the word "rpm" (M5) flashes. By pressing the key twice the pre-selection of the c entrifugal forc es can be selected.
Then the flashing word "rcf" (M6) appears. You can set the desired values with the adjusting dial (1). In the display
(A-1) the regulated value is shown permanently, before, during and after the run.

Figure. 16

As long as no rotor is inserted, the speed is adjustable between 200 rpm and maximum revolution of the centrifuge.
If there is a rotor in the centrifuge the speed can only be pre-selected until the maximum permissible revolution of
that rotor. It is the same with the pre-sel ection of the RCF-value. The setting range is between 20 x g and the
maximum permissible centrifugal force of the rotor.
See "Table 4: max. speed and RCF-values for per missible rotor" (See APPENDIX). All im portant values are
listed there.

ATTENTION:

Please also check the maximum permissible revolutions of your test tubes with the manufacturer.

3.3.2 Preselection of running time

The running time can be pre-selected in three different ranges from 10 seconds up to 99 hours 59 minutes.

1. Range from 10 seconds up to 59 minutes 50 seconds in steps of 10 seconds

2. Range from 1 hour up to 99 hours 59 minutes in steps of 1 minutes

3. The continuous run "cont", which can be interrupted by the ke y "Stop/Lid"(9) (refer to figure 17).
The running time can be pre-selected with the lid open or closed.

To activate the setting of the running time press the key "Time" (7).
In the display "Time/Prog" (A-4) flashes the indication "m : s" or "h : m", depending on the previous setting.
To set the desired value, use the adjusting dial (4). After exceeding 59 min 50 sec the indication changes
automatically into "h : m". After exceeding 99 hours 59 min the word "cont" appears in the displa y "Time/Prog"
(A-4). That continuous run can only be interrupted by pressing the key "Stop/Lid" (9). The time countdown starts as
soon as the set speed is reached.
The display always shows the remaining running time. (See figure 17)

This function is activated through the key "Accel/Decel" (6) (refer to figure18).
By pressing the key once the word "accel" (M7) flashes in the display "Acc/Dec" (A-2). The desired acceleration
can be pre-selected by the adjusting dial (4). The value 0 is equ ivalent to the lowest and the value 9 to the highest
acceleration.
By pressing the key "Accel/Decel" (6) twice, the display "Acc/Dec" (A-2) indicates the word "decel"(M8). Now the
desired brake intensity can be pre-selected by the adjusting dial (4). The value 9 is equivalent to the shortest and the
value 0 to longest possible brake time.
See "table 5: accele ration and decel eration times" (APPENDIX) . There the acceleration and decelerat ion times
for the acceleration and deceleration stages 0 to 9 for permissible rotors are shown.

3.4 Radius correction

If you use adapters or reducers it could change the centrifugal radius of the respective rotor. In that case you can
correct the radius manually. Please proceed as follows:
Close the lid, then press the k e y "Time" (7) (refer to figure 19) and the key "Prog/Setup" (3) at the same time and
hold them.
In the display "Time/Prog" (A-4) the word "radius" (M9) appears. By the adjusting dial (4) you can pr eselect the
respective radius correction (See Table 7, APPENDIX) in step s of 0.1 cm. As soon as you have set a rad ius correction
the word "radius" (M9) appears. This word will be visible until you put the radius correction back to 0 again.

5. MAINTENANCE

5.1 Maintenance and cleaning

5.1.1 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).
Lubricants containing molycote and graphite are not allowed.

Please pay special attention to anodized aluminum parts. Breakage of rotors can be caused even by slight damage.
In case of rotors, buckets or tube racks getting in touch with corrosive su bstances the concerned sp ots have to b e

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, halogenated
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 not spray disinfectant on the device.

− Thorough cleaning not only has its purpose in hygiene but also in avoiding corrosion due to 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 cleaning. Alkaline cleaning agents (pH-value > 8) must not be used.

Find Quality Products Online at: [e-mail]

www.GlobalTestSupply.com

EN-18 FrontierTM Centrifuge FC5513

− 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 anodized aluminum parts with anti-corrosion oil 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, or 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-rays or 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 cannot be autoclaved at 134°C.

5.1.2 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 disinfection of the unit and the rotor chamber use the above mentioned cleaner.

5. Clean all accessible areas of the device and its accessories, 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.
Make sure that the centrif uge is turned off the unit and disconnect the unit f rom the power supply. Then r emove
adherent dust from the ventilation slots in the centrifuge by using a soft brush. Do this at least every six months.

5.1.3 Cleaning and disinfection of the rotor

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

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

3. Rinse the rotors, rotor lid and adapter with clear water. Particularly the drillings of angle rotors.

4. For drying of the rotors and accessories set them on a towel. Place the angle rotors with bores down.

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

6. Put the dry rotor back on the motor shaft.

7. Fix the rotor by turning the rotor nut clockwise.

5.1.4 Disinfection of aluminum rotors

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

5.1.5 Disinfection of PP-rotors

Autoclaving
During autoclaving, it´s quite possible that plastic parts, i.g. rotor, can become deformed!

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

ATTENTION:

The sterilization time of 20 min. must not be exceeded. Repeated sterilization will cause reduction of the

mechanical resistance of the plastic material.
Before autoclaving the PP-rotor and adapter must be thoroughly cleaned to avoid the burning in of dirty residues.
You can disregard the consequences of some c hemical residues to plastic m aterials at am bient temperatures. But
at the high temperatures during autoc laving those residues m ay corrode and destroy the plastic. The objects must
be thoroughly rinsed with distilled water after the cleaning but before the autoclaving. Residues of any cleaning liquids
may cause fissures, whitening and stains.

www.GlobalTestSupply.com

FrontierTMCentrifuge FC5513 EN-19

Gas sterilization
Adapters, bottles and rotors may be gas sterilized with Ethylenoxyd. Make sure to air out the items after the
sterilization and before using them again.

ATTENTION:

Because the temperature may rise during the sterilization, rotors, adapters and bottles must not be

closed and must be totally unscrewed.
Chemical sterilization

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

ATTENTION:

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

5.1.6 Glass breakage

With high g-values, the rate of glass tube breakage increases. Glass splinters have to be removed immediately from
rotor, buckets, adapters and the rotor chamber itself. Fine glass splinters will scratch and therefore damage the
protective surface coating of a rotor. If glass splinters remain in the rotor chamber, fine metal dust will build up due
to air circulation. This very fine, black metal dust will significantly pollute the rotor chamber, the rotor, the buckets and
the samples.
If necessary, replace the adapters, tubes and accessories to avoid further damage. Check the rotor bores regularly
for residues and damage.

ATTENTION:

Please check the relevant specifications of the tubes centrifuges with the manufacturer.

Life time of rotors, buckets, accessories

Rotors and rotor lid made of aluminum or stainless steel, have an operating time of max. 7 years from 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
operating time up to 3 years from first use.
Condition for the operating time: Proper use damage-free condition, recommended care.
