Centrifuge

4-15C

Operating Manual

Dear customer,

Congratulations for purchasing a SIGMA laboratory centrifuge. You have selected a device which combines many advantages.

A wide spectrum of programming options and an electronic operation control allow a troublefree use of the centrifuge. With its 3-phase drive, maintenance-free, quiet operation without any carbon dust pollution is guaranteed.

Your device is equipped with user-friendly options which make the operation and standard settings easier for you. Built-in error-detecting functions keep the user from entering incorrect values and check the complete operation.

A special advantage is the storage capacity the centrifuge offers. The instrument has a program memory which can store up to 50 data sets and is capable of keeping the last run program in its memory for an unlimited amount of time allowing the program to be restarted at any time - even if the centrifuge was turned off in between. All important operation parameters can be seen at a glance.

The settings are executed via the knob in the control panel which has a coated surface protecting the device against moisture and dust. In addition, the interior of the centrifuge is also easy to clean. We are able to offer you a device that combines functional variety with practical applications.

We thank you for your confidence and wish you a successful application of the centrifuge.
