MSTM/0408 Safety precautions 1-1

Risk to persons
Danger! Electric shock.

→ Switch off the device and disconnect the mains power plug before opening the
device, performing work on electrical connections or starting maintenance or
cleaning.
Risk of explosion!
→ Do not operate the device in rooms where work is being carried out with explosive
substances.
→ Do not use this device to process explosive or highly-reactive substances.
Warning! Risk of injury from trapping or crushing.

→ When closing the device lid, do not place your fingers between the lid and the
device, otherwise they may be trapped.
Risk of damage to device
Warning! Damage due to incorrect power supply.

→ Only connect the device to power sources which match the details on the device
ID plate.
→ Use only sockets with protective earth.
Caution! Poor safety due to incorrect accessories.

The use of accessories and spare parts other than those recommended by Eppendorf
may impair the safety, function and precision of the device.
Eppendorf refuses to accept any warranty and liability for damage caused by third-
party parts.
→ Use only original accessories recommended by Eppendorf.
Caution! Poor safety due to missing operating manual.

→ When passing on the device, always enclose the operating manual.
→ If you lose the operating manual, request a replacement. The current version of
the operating manual and the safety instructions in your language can also be
found on our website, www.eppendorf.com.
1-2 Safety precautions MSTM/0408

Risks through incorrect handling of centrifuge
Caution! Damage to device by knocking / moving running centrifuge

Deflection of the rotor shaft may cause the rotor to strike hard against the wall of the
rotor chamber. Serious damage inside the device should be expected here.
→ At all events avoid knocking or moving the centrifuge to another location when
running.
Warning! Personal injury and damage to property through objects within safety
zone
Objects within the safety zone of the device will be set in motion by the vibrations and
may cause accidents.
→ Maintain a safety clearance of 30 cm between the device and other objects
according to the recommendations of EN 61010-2-020.
Risks through incorrect handling of rotors
Caution! Damage to device through loose rotor or rotor lid

→ Always secure the rotor and rotor lid as described in the operating manual.
→ The centrifuge may only be operated with the rotor and rotor lid firmly tightened
(as required).
Warning! Risk through asymmetric loading of rotor

→ All places of the rotor should be loaded with identical buckets or tubes.
→ Always use tubes of the same type.
→ Fill tubes opposite each other with the same quantity of liquid. This can be
checked by taring the tubes with a balance.
→ Only load adapters with the tubes and plates designed for this purpose.
Warning! Damage to device through overloading of rotor

→ Do not exceed the data marked on each rotor for the maximum load (adapters,
tubes and contents) per rotor bore / per bucket.
Caution! Damage to device through corroded or damaged rotor

→ Check accessories regularly.
→ Protect the rotor from mechanical damage. Even minor scratches or cracks may
result in serious internal material damage.
→ Do not use rotors which show signs of corrosion or mechanical damage.
→ Do not use buckets showing signs of corrosion or mechanical damage (e.g. bent
supporting walls).

Risks through extreme stress on test tubes
Caution! Damage to device through overloaded tubes

→ Keep within the limits specified by the tube manufacturers for the loading of tubes.
→ Tubes may only be centrifuged at the preselected g-force (rcf) if they are approved
for this application by the manufacturer.
Caution! Damage to device through damaged tubes

Damaged tubes must not be centrifuged: if tubes break/burst open, there may be
further damage to the device and accessories besides loss of the sample.
→ Before centrifugation, all tubes should be visually inspected for material damage.
Caution! Damage to device through open tube lids

The lids of tubes which are not closed may rip off during centrifugation and bend or
tear rotor lids made of plastic. Damage to the centrifuge is also possible.
→ Before centrifugation close all tube lids carefully.
Caution! Damage to plastic tubes from organic solvents

When using organic solvents (e.g. phenol, chloroform), the strength of plastic tubes
may be impaired so that tubes may break/burst open during centrifugation.
→ Before centrifugation check the condition of all plastic tubes.
Risks from products, chemicals and extreme ambient conditions
Risk! Harm to health from contact with toxic liquids and pathogenic
microorganisms
→ When handling toxic liquids or pathogenic microorganisms belonging to risk
group II (see World Health Organization: Laboratory Biosafety Manual), make sure
you comply with the relevant national regulations.
→ When working with pathogenic microorganisms belonging to a higher risk group,
more than one aerosol-tight bioseal must be provided for. ?(Bioseals are a
component of biosafety systems which are however not capable by themselves of
ensuring the protection of people and the environment when pathogenic
microorganisms are being handled.)
Caution! Damage to device by spilling liquids in the rotor or rotor chamber

1. Switch the device off.
2. Disconnect the device from the power supply.
3. Have careful professional cleaning of the device carried out. The instructions
about cleaning and disinfection included in the operating manual should be
observed here.
4. If a different cleaning and disinfection method is to be used, check with Eppendorf

that the intended method will not harm the device.

Caution! Damage to electronic components through formation of condensate

To avoid the formation of condensate on electric and electronic components:
→ Let the device warm up for at least 3 hours after being moved from a cool to a
warmer room. Only connect the device to the power supply after this period.
→ Or let the device warm up for half an hour before moving it from a cool to a
warmer room for usage there.
Caution! Damage to device from aggressive chemicals

Although rotors are high-grade components that withstand extreme loads, they may
be damaged by aggressive chemicals. This may also impair the protection of
aluminum rotors, which are largely safeguarded from corrosion by standard
laboratory chemicals via a surface treatment.
→ Avoid damage caused by aggressive chemicals such as alkalis, acids, solutions of
mercury, copper and other heavy metal ions, chlorinated hydrocarbons,
concentrated salt solutions and phenol.
→ If the rotor is contaminated by aggressive substances, clean immediately with a
neutral agent (e.g. Extran® neutral, RBS® neutral or Teepol® 610 S). This applies
to the rotor bores in particular.
→ Rotors marked "coated" should also be cleaned. Although they are particularly
resistant to chemicals, this is no substitute for regular cleaning as described in
Section 7.1 "Cleaning" of the operating manual.
Emergency cut-off
Warning! Damage to device through uncontrollable centrifuge

→ The centrifuge should only be connected to a power supply line with an
emergency switch. The emergency switch should be located outside the room in
which the centrifuge stands or next to the exit from this room.

By actuating simultaneously the PLUS and MINUS buttons (cursor keys) the device is switched over to
the service indication mode. This does not depend on the operational mode the device is currently in.
The run of the centrifuge is not influenced by this.
The indications are continued by pressing the PLUS button.
During a run only the indications no. 1...6 are accessible (from START to opening the lid or resetting to
the nominal value indication with START).
During a fault the indication automatically jumps to 9. After that you can start again switching to different
indications (error indication with display of the error location and for error 6 of the FC error numbers).
The FC parameters can be checked during a standstill and while the lid is closed (FC on!) with the

rule, this should be carried out with the standard rotors.
Exception: Use (A) Rotor A-4-81 if avaliable.
Standard rotors: Centrifuge 5804 / 5804R – (W) F34-6-38 and (A) Rotor A-4-44
Standard rotors: Centrifuge 5810 / 5810R – (W) F34-6-38 and (A) Rotor A-4-62
Prepare the weights: G1/G2/G3
It is possible to weigh the weights yourself using Eppendorf tubes. Filled 2.0 ml tubes (approx. 3.2 g) are
recommended. The weight of the tube must also be taken into consideration.
With swing-bucket rotors, these should be placed flat, loose and without an adapter on the bottom of
the swing-bucket. With the angled rotor F34-6-38, water should be pipetted directly into the empty
bores. MTP rotors can be loaded and then filled with one MTP each.
Procedure for imbalance calibration
1. Insert fixed-angle rotor (W). (Use the present rotor lid).
2. Call up the service program: Hold down both cursor keys and switching on the device.
Display : SE 1
3. Using the cursor key, call up SE 10
4. Insert the tube with G1.
5. Close lid. Start run: Start
6. Three calibration runs are performed automatically. The lid opens automatically.
7. Insert weight G2.
8. Close the lid and wait until three further calibration runs have been performed.
Lid opens automatically.
9. Insert weight G3. Close lid. Start run: Start (Centrifuge must show "Imbal" and switch off.)
10. Open lid: Open.
11. Remove fixed-angle rotor (W) and insert swing-bucket rotor (A).
12. Using the corresponding imbalance amounts G1, G2, G3, carry out the procedure described in
points 2. to 9
13. Switch off the device. Remove the imbalance weights and then switch on the centrifuge again as
normal.
Note:
An imbalance adjustment must be carried out every time the motor, PCB Control or PCB Imbalance is
replaced or when the rotor is inserted!
After the motor has been replacedl or when the centrifuge has not been used for a long period, it should
run for approximately five minutes at maximum speed in order to ensure
that the vibration mounts have the normal degree of hardness.

Overspeed cut-off test (Test with Rotor)
START Program 12
– Close the lid
– The software sets a rotational speed above the switching-off limit. If the device operates correctly, it
switches itself off when reaching the switching-off rotational speed and stops without braking.
If the device is not switched off, the run must be stopped immediately by hand!
– The device must be switched off!
On switching on again the centrifuge brakes and is then again in the normal operational mode.
Overspeed cut-off:
The overspeed cut-off is about 300 1/min above the nominal speed of the rotor in use.

Repair kit motor cap cpl. with rotational speed sensor (no. 5820 850.329)
containing:
Motor cap with rotational speed sensor
3 spacer bushings
3 screws
3 O-rings
O-ring 40 x 1 (for refrigerated centrifuge)
Insulating flange
Ferrite bead
Fastening material
For mounting the repair kit motor cap, push the 3 small o-rings onto the spacer bushings.
Note:
Always when mounting the motor cap, be sure that the rubber sleeeve does not slide onto the insulating
flange. This would result in a too high position of the motor cap on one side, thus causing the swing-
buckets of rotor A-4-81to strike there.

Retrofitting rotors
Retrofitting must only be carried out by a trained service technician.
An imbalance adjustment is required after retrofitting the EPROM.
Retrofitting without installation is possible from the following serial numbers onwards:

Removing rotor
Turn rotor nut anticlockwise using the rotor key, remove rotor in an upward direction. If this is impossible,
tighten the rotor nut back up, close the centrifuge lid and set the temperature in the rotor chamber to the
removal temperature in the range from 10 °C to 30 °C. Turn rotor nut anticlockwise using the rotor key,
remove rotor in an upward direction.
If this is unsuccessful: undo the rotor nut and use both hands to pull the rotor vigorously upwards using
a gentle rocking and tilting motion. It may be helpful for a second person to hit the rotor key in the rotor
gently with a plastic hammer at the same time to loosen the jam on the motor shaft.
Please follow the section in the operating manual entitled "Fitting and removing the rotors".


Adjusting magnet to Imbalance PCB
Magnet must align horizontally and vertically to Hall sensor of Imbalance PCB!
Horizontal distance magnet to sensor approx. 9 to 13 mm.
Assembling sequence for adjusting the sensor-idle value of Imbalance PCB
– Disassemble centrifuge (operating panel, lid, housing, motor cap etc.)
– Place centrifuge upright.
– Remove motor holding plate (13 mm ring wrench).

Do not loosen the motor fastening screws!
– Disconnect plug X=10 from Control PCB and replace by extender cable.
– Connect mains switch and operating panel.
– Connect cable of Imbalance PCB to extender cable (pay attention to colors).
– Switch on centrifuge (perhaps Error 20, because temperature sensor is not connected).
– Select customer service display. (Press keys up V and down W simultaneously).
– Function 5, Imbalance value

Recommended service setting = 670±30 Please note, important
Max. tolerance during standstill = 670±100 Please note, important
– Fasten Imbalance PCB. Adjust angle with magnet at motor if required. Distance to sensor
approx. 9 to 13 mm, depending upon the version of the magnet carrier Imbalance detection.
Switch off centrifuge. Reassemble everything. It is essential to carry out an imbalance

adjustment!
To avoid damaging the compressor, do not operate the centrifuge with cooling in normal
position within 4 hours. Disconnect the compressor plug on Control PCB for the test time if
required!
Adjusting microswitches for lid latch
Both microswitches are actuated by the locking plates of the reinforcement for the lid mat and issue the
start signal for the lid latch motor. Set the switches so that they switch simultaneously when the lid is
closed. The switches should not respond too early, when the lid is just lying loosely on top, otherwise the
latch might not reach its end position and be switched immediately to Lid Open.
Set/check using Service program SE 4.

C) Secure crank compl. (3) on drive shaft (4) using screw (6) (see Figure 2 following assembly).
D) Turn adjustment ring (7) 30°– 45° to the right (clockwise) which puts torsion spring (8) under
initial tension. Now secure adjustment ring (7) using screw (9).
E) Perform a function check: put the rotor key in crank for the lid latch (5) and check that it will
turn through approx. 170° anticlockwise (and against the tension of the torsion spring).
F) Put the motor in a favorable installation position of crank for the lid latch (5) to facilitate assembly
in the centrifuge. Fit motor unit (Figure 2) and connect the cable.
G) Once the motor unit has been installed or replaced, select a different installation position for crank
for the lid latch (5), put on the slide for the lid latch and and install the washer (10) and tighten with the
nut M5 (11). If there is still a crank with peg, tighten the circlip.
Set/check using Service program SE 4.

Power supply unit
The power supply unit consists of the components transformer, rectifier bridges GL_2, GL_3, voltage
regulator SPR1 or SPR2 and filter capacitors.
• Transformer with integrated thermal fuse

or
1x 120-V coil (optional: fuse T 0.300 A UL)
secondary no-load voltage 11.2 V fuse: Polyswitch RXE050

• SPR1 supplies5 Vstabilized, potential free voltage
• SPR2 supplies24 Vstabilized, potential free voltage
• non-stabilized DC voltage as a driver voltage for the locking mechanism of the lid
Apart from that SPR1 supplies a reset signal if the voltage drops below 4.8 V.
Central control unit
The following components are part of the central control:
– processor SAB80C517A (IC1)
– EPROM 27C512 (IC3) with the operating system of the device
– an address latch 74HCT573 (IC2)
– an EEPROM FM24C04 (IC4)
The processor works with a cycle frequency of 12 MHz which is generated by an external oscillator. This
oscillator is designed as an oscillatory circuit consisting of a12 MHz quartz and two 22 pF capacitors.
The operating system of the centrifuge is stored on the EPROM.
With the EEPROM it is possible to store current operating parameters such as the rotational speed, the
duration of the last run, the operating hours etc. These data remain in the EEPROM even when the
centrifuge is switched off, they can be called up when the centrifuge is switched back on.
Apart from that the selectable programs are stored in the EEPROM.

10 Descriptions
Rotational speed monitoring and rotor recognition
These functions are carried out with the help of a unipolar Hall sensor with an open-collector output. A
"pull-up" resistor (R32) in the output of the sensor is used as a load resistor which supplies a defined
signal at the processor input if e.g. a cable break occurs between the sensor and the PCB “58xx
Control“. The Hall sensor (HAL506UA) is soldered to a sensor board which is located underneath the
motor covering in the rotor chamber.
Under the influence of the magnetic field of the coded magnet bar in the lower part of the rotor the
output of the sensor becomes conductive against ground. The sensor board is connected to the control
PCB via the plug connector X10. The pulses are supplied via a triggered inverter (IC5) at PORT 1.3 and
1.4 of the processor.
During the rotation the magnetic strips on the rotor move past the Hall sensor and according to the
length of the strips they generate “LOW“ pulses which are analyzed as rotational speed pulses. The
magnetic systems of the rotors consist of a strip with even length (starting magnet) and a strip with
variable length which enables coding of the rotors. By making the relation, a large number of rotors can
be coded. The rotational speed has no influence in this context. R23 and C38 serve to reduce interfering
pulses (low-pass filter) and IC 5 serves to improve the pulse steepness.
For measuring purposes the rotational speed pulses can be taken from OUTX(X17).
Imbalance monitoring
The imbalance monitoring is done by a system which analyzes the distance between a magnet fastened
to the motor and a Hall sensor which is installed in a fixed position on the motor plate. This sensor is an
analogue Hall sensor (UGN3503U) in which a voltage is induced that corresponds to the strength and
polarity of the magnetic field. This voltage is applied to the A/D converter in the processor (PORT 7.3).
Depending on the position of the motor the magnetic field of the magnet influences the sensor with
different field strengths which in turn changes the induced voltage at the output.
The voltage is proportional to the deflection. This enables an analysis of the imbalance that can be
exactly reproduced. An RC combination (R14, C31) serves as a low-pass filter that dampens interfering
pulses.
The sensor is integrated on the PCB "Imbalance detection" which amplifies the Hall signal. This
assembly group is installed at a distance of approx. 10 mm from the initial magnet.
In order to achieve a sufficient signal the operating voltage of the OpAmp. on the imbalance PCB is 8 V.
The signal is generated on the control PCB from the 24V supply by means of a Z stabilization.
Since the analogue voltage at the processor input to be analyzed may not exceed 5 V, the voltage is
limited by a 4.7 V Z-diode (D2).

10 Descriptions
Temperature monitoring (only refrigerated version)
Rotor chamber temperature
In order to measure the rotor chamber temperature, an NTC resistor is used which is encapsulated in a
sleeve and located on the rotor chamber base.
Depending on the temperature the sensor (NTC 10 k / 25 °C) changes its resistance. Via a voltage
divider (R8) this leads to a change of the voltage at the analogue input (PORT 7.0) of the processor.
Condenser temperature
In order to measure the condenser temperature, an NTC resistor is used which is fastened at the output
of the compressor.
This sensor (NTC 10 k / 25°C) serves as a protection against overtemperature. Via X11 and a voltage
divider (R7) it is connected to the analogue input of the processor PORT 7.1.
Locking mechanism of the lid
The locking mechanism consists of the lid motor drive, the lid position request and the position request
of the locking mechanism.
The necessary current is supplied to the lid motor by means of an IC driver (IC9). Depending on the
signal at the ports 4.2 and 4.3 the motor can rotate in left-hand or right-hand direction. Normally the
motor will rotate in left-hand direction when it opens as well as when it closes the lid. In case of a fault
(e.g. the locking bar is blocked) the motor will be rotated in right-hand direction after a certain time
(approx. 2 s) to loosen the blocking. For a short period of time (less than 1 s) during the locking process
it can draw up to 1.5 A current. This reduces the transformer voltage from 30 V to approx. 15 V.
The “ENABLE“ line, controlled by PORT 4.5, blocks the outputs of IC 9 when the locking mechanism for
the lid is inactive.
Two microswitches are used for the position request of the lid. They are located at the slots in the
housing in which the brackets of the lid are inserted. When these brackets are inserted into the slots
PORT 3.4 and 3.5 are connected to GND. In this way it is recognized that the lid is closed and can now
be locked.
In order to recognize the position of the locking mechanism the junction plate has one magnet each on
the upper and lower edge with opposite magnetic polarity. An analogue Hall sensor (SEN1) is located on
the control PCB which is influenced by these magnets. Without the influence of a field the voltage at the
sensor is approx. 2.5 V. When the lid is locked the lower magnet is positioned above the sensor and the
voltage is approx. 2.7 V. If the lid is unlocked the upper magnet is positioned above the sensor and the
voltage is approx. 2.3 V. Since this voltage can be measured at ANALOGPORT 7.3 it is possible to
request the position.

10 Descriptions
Condenser fan regulation (only refrigerated version)
A condenser is installed in the refrigeration circuit which is used to distribute the heat from the
compressor to the environment. Additionally the condenser is supplied with cooling air by a fan.
The fan regulation is done phase-controlled. This is done by a solid state relay (TRI1) which influences
the voltage at the fan and is controlled by the processor. In this application there are only two steps; full
load during the run and fixed load in stand-by mode.
The necessary phase analysis (D1, R3, OK1, R4) of the mains voltage is done by means of the phase
analysis circuit. D1 suppresses the negative half wave and the positive half wave is switched by the
opto-coupler onto a trigger. This generates a rectangular signal, which is used by the processor to
control the rotational speed of the fan.
Power supply for the refrigerating aggregate, the motor fan (lifting magnet) and the converter
These 3 aggregates operate with the mains voltage. For the individual aggregates the power is supplied
in the following way:
– the refrigerating aggregate via relay K5
– the converter via relay K3 and K4
– the motor fan (refrigerated version) via relay K6
– the lifting magnet (non-refrigerated version) directly from pin 15 and 16 of the IC7
All relay contacts are equipped with a radio shielding capacitor to minimize sparks when switching off.
On the refrigerating aggregate relay an RC circuit (R2, C7) is used for this purpose.
Converter interface
The communication between the control and the converter is done on the basis of a serial data
transmission (RS232). This makes it possible to change the converter parameters during a run to achieve
an optimal run of the centrifuge. During a run telegrams are constantly exchanged, in this way a
malfunction of the converter can be immediately analyzed.
The data input to the converter is done by port 6.2 and the data output from the converter is done by
port 6.1.
Additionally a release signal (PORT 6.4) is transferred to the converter which reports its readiness to
PORT 6.5.
The connection is done by plug connector X9.

10 Descriptions
PC interface
The centrifuge series 58XX can be equipped with a standard serial interface RS232C and with an
Eppendorf specific interface (BBUS).
For this it is necessary to retrofit the module "IFACE" on the control PCB and to retrofit the 9-pole cable
in the device with SUB_D connector (9-pole). Then it is possible to communicate directly with the
centrifuge via a PC.
A special PC program is also required.
X15 is the plug connection and X8 the plug for the SUB_D cable.
The selection of the interface type is done by PORT 3.5.
– PORT 3.5 (SELECT) means "HIGH" ➞ RS232C active
– PORT 3.5 (SELECT) means "LOW" ➞ BBUS active

Assembly group "IFACE" PCB
This assembly group contains all components that are needed to operate the centrifuge with a PC or an
Eppendorf-BBUS.
For the RS232 (PC) the MAX233CPP (IC2) is used.
The BBUS operation is done by opto-couplers and is thus uncoupled from the RS232C. This interface is
operated by a BBUS converter which is externally connected or by the Eppendorf BUS system.
By means of the data selector IC (IC1) the signals TXD0 and RXD0 are either switched to the BBUS
interface or to the RS232C interface.
Frequency converter CCI 1000
The frequency converter is used to convert the single-phase alternating voltage into a 3-phase
alternating voltage which powers the 3-phase asynchronous motor (no collector). The output of the
converter is approx. 1100 W. The converter is equipped with a basic data set which can be updated with
the required parameters via the interface.
This makes it possible to adjust optimal acceleration and brake curves, also the power consumption and
the power loss can be reduced to a minimum.
The converter contains the electronic braking circuit which uses the external braking resistors to reduce
the excess energy which is generated (the motor acts as a generator).

Assembly group operation / display
Keypad
The keypad request is done by a resistor matrix that contains tactile switches. By pressing a key a
certain voltage divider is generated. The voltage value is either higher than TZ1 or TZ2 at the analogue
inputs PORT 8.0, 8.1. To each key a certain voltage value is assigned.
Display
The display is an LCD module with a driver/decoder and background illumination. The intensity of the
illumination is fixed. The brightness of the display can be set at the potentiometer POT1.
The control of the display is done by 3 control lines and 8 data lines.
– control lines EN from PORT 4.5 enable signal for the driver
RW from PORT 4.6 read / write command
RS from PORT 4.7 selection whether the incoming byte (DB0...DB7)
is a control command or a data byte
– data lines DB0...DB7 PORT 5.0...5.7
The standstill of the device and the readiness to open the lid of the centrifuge is indicated by the "OPEN"
LED LED1 (PORT 4.2).
The buzzer SUM1 signals the completion of the centrifuge run or a fault during the centrifuging process
(PORT 1.1).

Specifications for the serial interface of the Centrifuges 5804/5804R/5810/5810R
Control via serial interface
The centrifuge can be controlled together with other laboratory devices via the BBUS as well as
individually via a PC and an RS 232 interface. During operation via BBUS, several different devices can
be connected to one BBUS interface and controlled by a master PC.
The centrifuge functions as a "slave", meaning that it must be addressed via an external EDP. A test with
an interface tester is only possible when the centrifuge and the EDP are connected.
A voltage of approx. minus 9.5 volt should be measured at the EDP plug output (TX) of the centrifuge
when not connected to the EDP.
9-pole plug output: TX = pin 2
Ground= pin 5
In service program 1, set the interface type and the device address.
Pin assignment and connection to a PC
The Centrifuges 58xx have two different interfaces on a 9-pin SUB-D plug.
The pin assignment for the 9-pin male SUB-D plug is as follows::
RS232 2 = TX
3 = RX
5 = GND
BBUS 7 = V-BUS
8 = I/O-BUS
9 = GND-BUS

Notes for centrifuge operation
With the exception of Short spin and the programming of fixed programs, all machine functions can be
operated via the serial interface. The fixed programs of the centrifuge cannot be used, although this
function may be simulated on a computer by transferring fixed data records.
The parameters 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17 may be modified during a centrifugation run. Unlike operation
using the keypad, the run time (Par. 12) cannot be calculated using the time which has already expired.
The value which is transferred is valid as the new nominal value.
Par. 12 =0 signifies continuous operation.
For technical reasons, it is not possible to switch during the braking phase from free deceleration
(Par. 17 =0) to a braking level (Par.17= 1...9).

Fixed-angle and swing-bucket rotors with bucket
Period of use
The service life of a rotor/bucket depends on different parameters like care, material and of course on
the factors type and scope of runs.
Eppendorf rotors and buckets have a max. period of use of 7 years from initial commissioning.
No fixed-angle rotors have any restriction on period of use with the exception of F-34-6-38 and T-60-11.
Please follow the instructions in the operating manual and the rotor supplement sheet with specific
reference to measures for looking after rotors.
Once period of use has expired, rotors and buckets should be decommissioned at once!
Visual check/cleanliness
Examine rotors/buckets for dirt residues and check that they have a smooth, clean surface. The
Eppendorf markings should be clearly legible. The bores of the fixed-angle rotors should be checked
with the torch for deposits and for residues of chemicals (use an endoscope if possible).
Aluminum rotors are protected against common laboratory chemicals by an anodized coating. No traces
of corrosion from chemical or mechanical effects, such as falls, blows, scratches, cracks and damage
which may be due to glass from broken tubes not having been removed may be present.
Also check for deformation.
For Rotor A-4-62 with MTP carriers only: ensure that there are no traces of abrasion on the rotor caused
by careless insertion/removal of MTP carriers (not guided in straight).
Rotor cone and motor shaft
Clean with a clean, grease-free, damp cleaning cloth and then dry.
Note: do not use pivot grease.
Perform a visual inspection (using torch if necessary). Check for score marks which can be caused only
by the customer not securing the rotor properly with the rotor key.
Rotor and motor thread
Assess the thread of the motor shaft of the centrifuge (use torch if necessary). Check that the rotor can
be tightened up properly clockwise using the rotor key so as to test the rotor nut as well. After the rotor
nut has been turned through approx. two revolutions, the threads must mesh and it should no longer be
possible to take off the rotor. Turn the nut right in up to the stop and check that it is properly and firmly
located.
Note: do not use pivot grease.

10 Descriptions
Swing-bucket rotors
Clean the pivots, they must be free of contamination. Is there any obvious wear? Clean the buckets and
suspend them in the rotor to check possible swing path. With the bucket inserted in the rotor, check
whether it is possible for the bucket to swing evenly at all positions without jerks when swinging
backwards and forwards. Grease lightly with Eppendorf pivot grease.
Rotor cross: have the distances between the individual arms of the rotor cross changed as a result of
incorrect use? With a bucket suspended in the rotor, check whether even swinging is possible at all
positions without jerks when swinging backwards and forwards.
Note: only use original Eppendorf pivot grease, order no. 5810 350.050, other types may go
resinous or sticky! It is recommended that a few runs be started in the centrifuge before
routine operation to distribute grease evenly.
Buckets
Clean grooves, which must be free of contamination. If there is visible wear on the bearing surface of the
pivots, this may be a result of aggressive cleaning in a dishwasher. Clean the buckets and suspend them
in the rotor to check possible swing path. With a bucket inserted in the rotor, check whether it is possible
for the bucket to swing evenly at all positions without jerks when swinging backwards and forwards.
Grease grooves lightly with Eppendorf pivot grease.
Note: only use original Eppendorf pivot grease, order no. 5810 350.050, other types may go
resinous or sticky! It is recommended that a few runs be started in the centrifuge before routine
operation to distribute the grease evenly.

10 Descriptions
Weight classes
Buckets are sorted by weight. The weight class is embossed into the side of the groove, see illustration:
e.g.. "_60" (the last 2 digits in grammes if the empty bucket weighs 260 g, for example).
Then place all buckets on a scale, consecutively if possible, and check for deviations.
In this example "60", the weight must be between 260 g and 260.9 g with empty and cleaned
rectangular buckets A-4-44.
Opposing buckets in the rotor must be of the same weight class.
Note: a mixed arrangement of 2 opposing MTP carriers with 2 rectangular buckets or 2 Flex
buckets is permitted only on swing-bucket rotor A-4-81
Use with only two buckets inserted is prohibited for all swing-bucket rotors!
Supplementary information for MTP/DWP/Flex buckets
Are the side walls bent as a result of too many plates or the wrong, non-approved plates having been
inserted? The cause may also be a plate inserted carelessly at the edge of the bucket.
Under no circumstances continue using buckets with bent side walls.
Watch out for deformation.
If the baseplate is damaged or cracked or the screws are oxidized as a result of aggressive chemicals or
inadequate cleaning, then replace them. In the process, replace plastic baseplates on all buckets with
rubber baseplates.
Information: to replace the rubber baseplate: undo screws, remove baseplate and clean bucket. Ensure
that the new rubber baseplate is located centrally. Do not use any adhesive such as Loctite or similar;
gently tighten new screws alternately to 0.6 Nm so that no unnecessary deformation is caused.
Fixed-angle rotors
Examine the bores of the fixed-angle rotor. Are there any cracks, changes inside or underneath the
rotor? Perform the examination using the torch (or endoscope, if appropriate). Any residues of chemicals
or the like will have to be removed for this purpose. Is there visible efflorescence/are there visible
material changes at the edge of the rotor under the seal?
This is often caused by the customer not taking adequate care of the rotor.

10 Descriptions
Rotor lid
Perform a visual inspection, in particular of the lid screw with thread (not for Rotor F-45-30-11). Check
that circlip and spacer are securely located.
Place rotor lid on a smooth surface and inspect it for an out-of-round, deformed appearance.
Locking mechanism
Check rotor lid and rotor (not for Rotor F-45-30-11).

Perform a visual inspection, in particular of the rotor thread for the lid locator. A connection should have
been achieved after no more than a 360° revolution of the lid screw on the rotor thread. Undo and tighten
the lid screw several times to test it.
Information: the rotor lid and the rotor thread can be greased lightly with Eppendorf pivot grease, order
no. 5810 350.050 to minimize noise when tightening.
Rotor F 45-30-11
On this rotor, the lid is simply placed on top and is held on the rotor during operation by physical
conditions.
The O-rings should be replaced as a precaution during a service.
O-ring for lid mounting, order no. 0013 578.109
O-ring for rotor (set of 5 pcs.), order no. 5498 900.137
Aerosol-tight rotor FA-45-30-11
The aerosol-tight rotor lid has two sealing rings: one on the lid screw and another in the lid groove. The
aerosol-tight rotor lid may only be used with undamaged, clean seals. Frayed, worn or dirty seals do not
provide adequate protection and may lead to loss of aerosol-tightness. Damage may also occur as a
result of incorrect autoclaving operations.
The rotor lid should be replaced with a new aerosol-tight rotor lid every 10 autoclaving cycles (121 °C, 20
min.). Please check regularly that seals are undamaged! Rotor lids with defective seals may not continue
to be used and should be replaced by a new rotor lid. It is not permitted to replace the seals!
Information: the rotor with aerosol-tight rotor lid is tested using the Porton Down test. Tests are also
offered by other institutes. However, it is cheaper to replace the existing lid with a new aerosol-tight rotor
lid tested by the factory.
Please note: to prolong the life of the seal, do not store aerosol-tight rotors with the lid
screwed up tightly!

10 Descriptions
Old aerosol-tight rotor FA-45-30-11
The old aerosol-tight rotor in silver has the aerosol-tight sealing ring in the rotor and not in the lid. The
sealing ring (set of 2 x 5) order no. 5498 900.013 continues to be available and replaceable.
However, a test of leaktightness cannot be performed.
Information: the aerosol-tight rotor with lid has passed the Porton Down test. Tests are also offered by
other institutes, though it is cheaper to replace the rotor complete with rotor lid with a new one if
required. The silver design is no longer available.
Drum rotor T-60-11
Check whether the locators for the adapters are still firmly assembled. Check for visible damage.
