Y 2 Turn the TIMER knob in a clockwise direction to the required run time At this point the amber LID OPEN neon indicator will go out the red RUN neon indicator will come on and the rotor will start to rotate TIMER 30 0 27 sa sC Timer set to 15mins 217 Sg a s PLEASE NOTE if the required run time is less than 10 minutes turn the TIMER knob up to 15 minutes or more and then back to the desired setting This will ensure that the timing is accurate 3 The centrifuge is now locked and it will not be possible to open the lid until the rotor has stopped and the amber LID OPEN neon indicator has come on 4 The centrifuge may be subject to some vibration initially while the rotor accelerates through a critical stage but this should cease once it has reached a reasonable speed However if the vibration continues it is most likely that the centrifuge is unbalanced If this is the case the TIMER knob must be turned OFF and the rotor will slow down and come to a stop Once the amber LID OPEN neon indicator has come on the lid should be opened and the balance checked COMPLETION 1 Once the run has been completed the timer will switch off and the rotor will start to decelerate The red RUN neon indicator will go out and the green POWER neon indicator will remain on Once the rotor has stopped the amber LID OPEN neon indicator will come on after a s
