Loading Angle Rotors; Loading Swing Out Rotors - OHAUS Frontier FC5714 Manual De Instrucciones

TM
Frontier Centrifuge FC5714/FC5718/FC5718R/FC5816/FC5816R
Hold the rotor with one hand and secure the rotor to the shaft by turning the fixing nut clockwise. Tighten the fixing
nut with enclosed rotor key (See figures 9-10)
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 9-10)
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
materials.
In case of any questions, please contact the manufacturer!

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.
The maximum load per hole is stated on each rotor.

3.1.3 Loading swing out rotors

Loading of the buckets / vessels must be made in accordance to the figure below.
It is allowed to operate e.g. a 4-place-rotor with 2 loaded buckets only. But the loaded buckets must be opposite to
each other. Make sure that the unloaded buckets also be put inside the rotor (see below).
In principle swing out rotors may not be taken into operation until all buckets or racks are put into the rotor.
The bolts at the rotor must be greased with the "High TEF oil". The sample tubes have to be filled evenly by eye
and put into the drillings or tube racks. The weight difference of the loaded buckets should not exceed approx. 1.0
g.
ATTENTION!
Swing out rotors may be taken in operation only if all locations are filled in with either four buckets
or four carriers – do not mix buckets and carriers together!!
ATTENTION!
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 and buckets.
In case of any questions, please contact the manufacturer!
