Err1: After entering the operation mode for 10s, and the instrument runs steadily (running stability means that the actual speed of the instrument is within the set value of ±10rpm). If the speed exceeds the set speed of ±10rpm, the instrument stops running and buzzes to alarm, Run indicator light goes off, and "Err1" is displayed in the Speed display window.
End of timer: The instrument buzzing alarm, the "End" is displayed in the Speed display window.
When the instrument alarms, press any key, the instrument is back to the standby mode.

88882119), put the holder on tray and
(figure 3)
fix it with the 4 sunk screws .
3. Vertically clip the Fixed Tube Rack into the holder and make sure there is no gap between the rack and the holder (figure 4)
.
4. Insert the test tube. Note: When using single test tube, it is recommended not to set the speed too high because the imbalanced load may damage the instrument.
