Mögliche Beschädigungen an Bedienteilen der Centrifugen 5417 C

Durch Rückmeldungen über unsere Service Info Line (SIL) aus den Märkten wurden wir auf einen möglichen Fehler an neuen Bedienteilen der Centrifugen 5417C aufmerksam gemacht.

Beim Abziehen der Schutzfolie verblieben offensichtlich Kleberreste auf der Oberfläche des Display. In vielen Fällen ließen sich diese Rückstände mit handelsüblichem Waschbenzin entfernen. In einigen Fällen war jedoch die Oberfläche des Display bereits angegriffen, so dass das Bedienteil ausgewechselt werden musste.

 Als Verursacher dieser Beschädigungen wurde ein Silikon-Lösungsmittel in einem Glasreiniger ermittelt. Der entsprechende Fertigungsprozess wurde bereits geändert.

Sollten Sie ein Display vorfinden, bei dem sich die Kleberreste nicht rückstandslos mit Waschbenzin entfernen lassen, berichten Sie uns diesen Fall bitte unter Angabe der Gerätenummer per SIL. Wir werden das Bedienteil umgehend austauschen.

Possible damage to control panels of the Centrifuge 5417 C

Due to feedback obtained from the markets through our Service Info Line (SIL) , a possible error involving the new control panels of the Centrifuge 5417C has been brought to our attention.

When the protective foil is pulled off, it seems that adhesive residue remains on the surface of the display. In many cases this residue can be removed with commercially available petroleum ether. However, in some cases the surface of the display had already been damaged, meaning that the control panel needed to be exchanged.

 A silicone solvent in a glass cleaner has been determined to be the cause of the damage. The production process involved has already been changed.

New serial number for all centrifuges

Starting with the beginning of January 2008 all newly produced centrifuges carry a

redesigned nameplate. Additionally, there is a new consistent format of the serial number.

Redesigned nameplate for centrifuges with the new 12-digit serial number  (example):

Please note that, depending on the type of instrument, it can take some time until the first

devices with the new nameplate and the new serial number reach the market.

 Error 1

Centrifuge brakes.

1. Error in measurement

system for rotational

speed. No rotor

recognized.

2. Magnet assignment of

the rotor coding is

defective.

3. Only two magnets

rec-ognized (half rotational

speed).

4. Incorrect voltage

ver-sion has been set.

5. A loose rotor has been

recognized (rotor may

have tightened during

acceleration).

Use another rotor. If the

error does not recur, check

the coding ring of the rotor.

Check whether the

mag-nets are complete and in

good condition.

Check the rotational speed

sensor with customer

ser-vice program 8:

– Four pulses per rotation;

test with service program

8 (SE 8) possible.

– Rotor ratio, test with

ser-vice program 8 or

cus-tomer service display 5.

 Error 2

Centrifuge does not start or

Imbalance idle value is

out-side the permitted limits, or

the measuring value is

incorrect.

Incorrect idle value must be

applied for at least three

seconds.

and the current idle value.

Test: Current idle value

changes when the motor

axle moves. If it does not

change, the sensor is

missing.

When the centrifuge is

sta-tionary, the current idle

value must be within the

lim-its of ± 25 diglim-its (equivalent

to ± 220 mV) of the stored

If the SOFT and SPEED-PLUS keys are pressed simultaneously, the centrifuge switches over to the

ser-vice display mode. This does not depend on the current centrifuge operational mode. The centrifugation

runs remain unaffected. The displays are run through by pressing the SOFT key. During the service

 Imbalance calibration

General information:

Imbalance calibration requires two calibration weights. Two reaction tubes of 1.5 ml or 2.0 ml are filled

and balanced with the corresponding material (e.g. quartz sand).

The tube for the lower calibration value must have a total weight of 2.3 g ± 0.1 g. The total weight of the

vessel for the upper calibration value is 3.8 g ± 0.1 g.

If the imbalance calibration is carried out with fixed-angle rotor F 45-30-11 or FA 45-30-11 (rotor number

R0), the determined limits are converted for the swing-bucket rotor and the PCR rotor (rotor number R1)

as well as the 24-position rotor (rotor number R2).

However, if the calibration is carried out with a different rotor than the 30-position rotor, the determined

values are valid for this rotor only; the values cannot be carried over to another rotor!

The imbalance calibration is carried out without rotor lid.

•

Install a flyweight of 2.3 g (lower value) into the rotor.

Close the centrifuge lid.
