End of centrifugation
• The centrifuge automatically stops after the set time has elapsed. The elapsed centrifugation will be
shown in a blinking display during the braking process. A signal tone sounds when the rotor is at a
standstill.
• Only 5418: The centrifuge lid opens automatically. The display shows the symbol .
• Only 5418 R: The centrifuge lid remains closed to maintain the sample temperature. You can open it
by pressing the
open key.
5. Remove the material for centrifuging.
5.4.2 Centrifuging in continuous operation
Perform the following steps in the sequence described.
1. Use time to set the continuous run.
The continuous run function can be set above 9:59 h or under 30 s (5418) or above 99 min or under
0.5 min (5418 R). The timer shows oo to indicate continuous operation.
2. Only 5418 R: Use the temp arrow keys to adjust the temperature.
3. Use speed to set the g-force (rcf) or speed (rpm).
4. Press start/stop to start centrifuging.
In the display flashes while the rotor is running.
Time is counted upwards, first in 30-second increments and then in minute increments from ten
minutes.
5. Press start/stop to end centrifuging after the desired time period.
• The centrifugation time will be shown in a blinking display during the braking process.
• A signal tone sounds when the rotor is at a standstill.
• Only 5418: The centrifuge lid opens automatically. The display shows the symbol .
• Only 5418 R: The centrifuge lid remains closed to maintain the sample temperature. You can open it
by pressing the
open key.
6. Remove the material for centrifuging.
5.4.3 Short-spin centrifugation
5418: You can carry out a short run with the maximum g-force (rcf) / speed (rpm).
5418 R: You can carry out a short run with the currently set or with the maximum g-force (rcf) /
speed (rpm). Set this short spin mode as described in the following section.
5.4.3.1 Selecting short spin mode (only 5418 R)
1. Press the short key while the centrifuge lid is open.
The current mode is displayed:
•
Display 1 – 14 t (run at preselected speed)
• Display 14 t (run at maximum speed of 14.000 rpm)
2. When the centrifuge lid is open, press the short key for longer than 2 s to switch between these modes.
