English (EN)

2.2.4 Speed measurement and rotor detection

Speed measurement and rotor detection are done via Hall sensor.

Non-replaceable magnetic strips are located on the rotor. Each rotor type has different magnetic strips.
When the rotor revolves, the magnetic strips are detected moving past the motor cap's Hall sensor. The
magnetic strips create different impulses according to their length. The Hall sensor detects the rotor type
by these impulses. The impulses are serve as pulses for speed measurement.

2.2.5 Imbalance detection

For imbalance detection, the distance between a magnet on the motor and the Hall sensor on the motor
plate is evaluated.

A current is induced in the Hall sensor proportional to the strength of the magnet's magnetic field. The
current in the Hall sensor changes according to motor position. Thresholds for the Hall sensor current are
set in the device software. The drive will switch off if these thresholds are exceeded.

The imbalance detection must be re-adjusted after any repairs.

2.2.6 5804 R/5810 R Centrifuge: Temperature detection

Rotor chamber temperature

The temperature sensor for rotor chamber temperature is located in a shell at the bottom of the rotor bowl.
An NTC resistor serves as a sensor, NTC 10 k/25 °C.

Condenser temperature

The temperature sensor for condenser temperature is located on a pipe bend on the condenser. An NTC
resistor serves as a sensor, NTC 10 k/25 °C.

2.2.7 Fan and ventilation flap

5810/5804: Ventilation flap

• The ventilation flap opens when fixed-angle rotors are used (except for F-35-48-17).

5810 R/5804 R: Condenser fan

• Is controlled in program levels 0–32 depending on condenser temperature.

5810 R/5804 R: Motor fan

• The motor fan always runs when the centrifuge lid is closed.
The motor fan continues to run for a few minutes after the centrifuge lid has been opened.

Fan on the PCB Control/frequency converter

• EPROM software version 5.0 – 6.X:
(Fan voltage 12 V) Fans always run along slowly.
• EPROM software version 7.0 and higher:
(Fan voltage 24 V) Fans are switched on when the temperature on the PCB Control/Frequency converter
is > 58 °C.
Fans are switched off when the temperature is < 54 °C.
• EPROM software version 7.8 and higher:
Fans are switched on when the centrifuge lid is closed and the temperature on the PCB Control/
Frequency converter is > 60 °C.
Fans are switched off when the centrifuge lid is open and the temperature on the PCB Control/
Frequency converter is < 70 °C.

2.2.8 Lid latch

When the lid is open, it is held by a gas spring.

The lid mechanism consists of the lid latch motor, lid position probe and lid latch position determination.

When the lid is opened or closed, the lid latch motor rotates counterclockwise. To open a blocked latch, the
lid latch motor rotates clockwise after approx. 2 sec.

2 microswitches serve as lid position probes. The microswitches can be found in the housing slits for the
metal lid's strike plates. These microswitches are activated when the strike plates go into the housing. The
device detects the lid as closed. The lid latch motor starts.

To detect the locking mechanism's position, the lid latch's slider has a magnet on both its upper and lower
edges. These magnets have opposite polarities. A Hall sensor is on the PCB Control/Frequency, which
induces a different current depending on the polarity of the magnet.

5.3.12 SE 10: Imbalance compensation

Description

When compensating the imbalance sensor, the centrifuge determines the imbalance shut-off values for the
individual rotors from the imbalance shut-off values of a fixed-angle rotor or a swing-bucket rotor.

Perform an imbalance compensation after the following operations:

• Replacing the motor
• Replacing the shock mounts
• Replacing the PCB Control/frequency converter
• Replacing the PCB Imbalance detection or the magnet support imbalance detection
• Adjusting the imbalance detection (Setting the sensor idle value)
• Retrofitting a new rotor

If fixed-angle and swing-bucket rotors are being used in the centrifuge, imbalance compensation must be
performed on both one fixed-angle rotor and one swing-bucket rotor. Imbalance compensation should be
performed with the standard rotors.

Centrifuge Standard rotors

5804 / 5804 R F34–6–38 and rotor A–4–44
5810 / 5810 R F34–6–38 and rotor A–4–81

To bring the shock mounts to normal hardness, let the centrifuge run for approx. 5 minutes at
maximum speed.

 Start this run after replacing the motor.

 Start this run if the centrifuge has not been used in a while.

Performing an imbalance compensation

1. Call up service function 10.

2. Insert the fixed-angle rotor with rotor lid.
3. Insert test weight.
4. Close the centrifuge lid.
5. Press the start/stop key.

17. Remove test weights.

Rotors and test weights

• The aforementioned test weights are overall weight (incl. the weight of empty tubes and the lid).
• Use the appropriate tubes with fixed angled rotors. To reach the test weight, you can insert several
tubes in adjacent positions.
• Use flat vessels with swing-bucket rotors. Lay the vessels on the bottom of the swing bucket.
• Do not use any adapters or caps on the swing buckets when performing an imbalance compensation.
• Alternately, a corresponding amount of water placed directly in the fixed-angle rotor's boreholes or in
the swing-bucket rotor's buckets.
• With MTP/DWP rotors, all MTP/DWP positions can be filled with only one position being filled with the
test weight.

9.5 Verification
9.5.1 Speed check

Measuring device
• Digital manual speedometer suitable for contactless measurement; alternately, a stroboscope
• Measuring range: 1 to ≥ 30,000 rpm
• Accuracy: ≤ 0.1 %
1. Place the rotor in the centrifuge.
2. Fully load the rotor with filled tubes.
3. Mark the rotor hub with a reflector (measuring device accessory).
4. Close the centrifuge lid.
5. Start the centrifuge at the desired speed. Let the centrifuge run until the speed has stabilized.
6. Measure the rotational speed through the monitoring glass in the centrifuge lid. Observe the operating
manual of the measuring device for this.
7. Make a note of the measuring result.
8. If required, repeat steps 5 to 7 for other rotational speeds.

The speed tolerances can be found in the Technical Data chapter.

9.5.2 Temperature check

Ambient temperature: 23 °C ± 2 °C

Measuring device
• Thermometer and temperature sensor with a low heat capacity. Example: Thermocoupler, max.
diameter 0.5 mm
• Measuring range: 0 °C to ≥ 100 °C
• Accuracy: ≤ 0.3 °C

Auxiliary equipment
• Rotor
• Tubes that fit the rotor, with a minimum volume of 1.5 mL

9.5.2.1 Refrigerated centrifuges

1. Fill the tubes with ethylene glycol.

2. Equip the rotor with tubes. Place the rotor in the centrifuge.
3. Set the maximum speed.
4. Set the minimum temperature that can be achieved (depends on the rotor).
5. Precool the centrifuge with rotor, tubes and adapters, using the fast temp function (refer to the
operating manual for the centrifuge).
6. Start the centrifuge and let it run for 60 min.
7. Stop the centrifuge. Measure the temperature in the center of the tubes immediately after opening.
8. Compare the sample temperature with the temperature displayed by the centrifuge.
 Maintenance

9.5.2.2 Non-refrigerated centrifuges

For non-refrigerated centrifuges, sample heating is checked against the ambient temperature.

1. Fill the tubes with ethylene glycol.

2. Equip the rotor with tubes. Place the rotor in the centrifuge.
3. Set the maximum speed.
4. Start the centrifuge and let it run for at least 45 min.
5. Measure the ambient temperature.
6. Stop the centrifuge. Measure the temperature in the center of the tubes immediately after opening.
7. Compare the ambient temperature and the sample temperature.

The temperature tolerances can be found in the Technical Data chapter.

9.5.3 Timer check

Measuring device
• Stopwatch
• Accuracy: ≤ 0.1 seconds
1. Set the centrifuge to continuous run.
2. Start the centrifuge and the stopwatch simultaneously.
3. Allow the centrifuge to run for at least 5 min.
4. Compare the time displayed by the centrifuge with the time measured by the stopwatch.

The timer tolerances can be found in the Technical Data chapter.

9.5.4 Electrical safety check

Notes on the check procedure:

• Checking electrical safety may only be carried out by an electrically skilled or instructed person.
• Measure on a grounded, metallic point that is not insulated and can be touched from the outside, e.g.,
on housing screws.
• The leakage current or the resistance of the PE conductors cannot be measured on the centrifuge lid,
the rotor or the motor shaft.
• Never measure at an interface. This may damage the electronics of the centrifuge.
• Due to the electrical design of the centrifuge, the equivalent leakage current (e.g., VDE 701/702) cannot
be measured correctly.
→ Always measure the real leakage current (direct measurement or differential current measurement).

9.6 Inspecting the imbalance cutoff

The test is carried out in normal operating mode. The test should be carried out for each existing rotor. The
test is carried out without bucket adapters or caps.

9.6.1 Test weights

1. Use test weight G3 (see SE 10: Imbalance compensation on p. 46).

2. Please refer to the instructions regarding weights (see SE 10: Imbalance compensation on p. 46).

9.6.2 Carrying out the inspection

1. Insert the rotor.

2. Load the rotor one-sidedly with test weight G3.
3. Start run at maximum rotor rotation speed.
When the rotor reaches its maximum rotational speed at the latest, the run should abort with the error
message Imbalance (W-30).

If the centrifuge does not abort the test run with test weight G3:

 Stop the centrifuge with the start/stop key.

 Call up service function 10.
 Perform an imbalance compensation with the installed rotor.

These values are to be considered as guidelines. Level 9 means "strongest braking", level 0 means "free
deceleration". Considerable fluctuations can occur depending upon the condition of the device and the
load. The deceleration times for the 230 and 120 V devices are almost identical.
