Servicing schedule
This chapter describes the maintenance work to be performed on a yearly basis.A checklist can be found in the attachment A-1.
Maintenance routine without dismantling the centrifuge
Electrical installation and safety
Switch OFF the centrifuge and disconnect the unit from power, check voltage supply and mainsfusing (16 (15) Amps, slow blow characteristic).
Check condition of plug and wall socket - (let) replace defective parts.
Check cord condition and fixing / connection - replace or refit it.
Check condition of instrument socket and replace it in case of bad contacts.
Location and mechanical installation
Check the base (ground, table, trolley with lockable wheels etc.) for resonance-free and stableconditions.
Check for a well ventilated place and sufficient distances to walls or adjacent equipment, withoutexposition to direct sunlight.
Check the leveling of the centrifuge drive with help of a spirit level.
Lid latch mechanism and safety circuit
Connect the centrifuge to power and switch ON.
Check for correct lid closing and opening - if in disorder, readjust lid, hinges and/or lid latch.
Check the rubber gasket for correct sealing and replace, if damaged.
Check gas lid stay for correct function.
Check the electronic safety circuit: start the centrifuge. Let it shortly run and press stop. The lidmust not be unlocked by the microprocessor as long as the speed is more than 60 rpm - if safetycircuit is out of function, replace main board.
Cleanliness of rotor chamber and motor cover
Open the lid and remove the rotor by pressing the green AutoLock button in the center of therotor.
Clean the spin chamber with a dry and absorbent cloth (remove all dust and moisture - see alsopage 2-18 for cleaning).
Check the cleanliness of the motor cover and take special care of the slot between the bowl andthe motor cover: penetrating fluids can damage the motor and/or electronics and foreign objectsmay block the air flow.
Condition and sealing of rotors and accessories
Check the condition of rotors and accessory parts (especially all supporting or stressedpartitions): the rotor and/or accessory parts must not be used any longer, if there are visibletraces of mechanical damage or corrosion.
Check the condition of rotor and/or accessory sealing and replace them in case of malfunction.
2-3SERVICE
AutoLock and motor shaft
Check the perfect condition of the AutoLock system. In case of malfunction use tool Kit# 70904693 to change the AutoLock. (see page 5-7)
Check the condition of the drive motor shaft: the centrifuge must not be used any longer, if thedrive shaft is damaged (e.g. bend or it’s bearings are worn out).
Temperature level
Check the air inlet slots for free ventilation. Insufficient air flow will lead to an inadmissibletemperature rise of the motor and electronic parts.
Imbalance behavior
install available and empty rotors and check the imbalance behavior with rotor dependant cut offand run through weights (see page 2-18) and replace worn anti vibration mounts, faulty mainboard or sensor cover.
Maintenance routine after dismantling the centrifuge casing
Motor supporting elements
Check the anti vibration mounts of the drive motor and replace them in case of increased rubberabrasion or abnormal occurrence of imbalance but at least after 3 years of usage.
Braking circuit
Check the function of the braking circuit (warming up of brake resistor, even and noiseless brakeeffect) and replace defective parts in case of malfunction.
Clamp and plug connections of wires
Check the clamp and plug connections of all leads on the main board and all electrical Protectionearth core and grounding connections.
Check the grounding connection for continuity and all grounding plug connectors. (see also page2-19 Electrical Safety Check)
Check insulation resistance and accessible current. (see page 2-19)

3-4FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Power Pack
The power pack consists of 1 transformer, 2 rectifiers (single diode) and 2 voltage regulators. Itgenerates the following low voltage levels:
5V VCC: By switched-mode regulator A8499Supplies all processors and its electronic components on main board, keypadand display. The reference potential is GND.
24V: UnregulatedDrives the lid lock stepper motor and the buzzer, supplies the LCD and therelays K1, K2, K3 and K4.The reference potential is GND.
15V: By voltage regulator LM317For protection circuit. CAUTION: The reference potential is U-.
Intermediate Circuit
The DC intermediate circuit serves as an energy store between the AC power input and thetransmitted motor performance. The intermediate circuit consists of a line voltage selection switch, aheat-sink-cooled bridge rectifier and two reservoir capacitors which are charged whenever thecentrifuge lid is closed (K1 activated). The presence of the DC voltage is indicated by LED V41.When switching the unit off, the DC voltage of the intermediate circuit is discharged across a path ofresistors.
Brake Path
Electrical power is fed back into the intermediate circuit during motor deceleration (motor acts asgenerator). This braking power is transformed into heat by the connected resistor so that theintermediate circuit voltage does not rise to an excessive level. The brake resistor is switched into theintermediate circuit by a fast switching transistor (pulse-width modulation, synchronised by the doublemains frequency). This transistor is voltage dependent controlled by a self-acting stage (closed loop).
Frequency inverter
The 3-phased motor is provided with chopped direct voltage blocks (chopped frequency approx.5kHz, amplitude is height of DC intermediate voltage). These blocks are variable in frequency andpulse-width modulation, 120° de-phased. These 3 phases are controlled during acceleration, runningat set speed and deceleration (e.g. for small speed: low frequency and small pulse-width length willbe affected). The frequency inverter is protected against over current, over temperature and over-voltage.
Microcontroller (Central Processing Unit) Part
The controller block includes the central processor unit (CPU) LPC1764 programmed with software tocontrol the centrifuge and a data storage (NV-RAM). Current versions and revisions of software anddata can be seen in the system menu.Software is loaded into the LPC1764 via a serial interface on the main board X6 and cannot beupgraded in the field. The NV-RAM data can be updated by replacing the entire NV-RAM with one ofthe latest revision.NV-RAM data includes rotor parameters, such as max speed and g-force, acceleration anddeceleration profiles and imbalance behaviour.
3-5FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Display
The LCD is attached to the front panel. The connection to the main board is done by a RJ45 cable.Data transfer as well the low voltage supply of 5V is verified. The operating keys are managed by anown connection.
Speed, imbalance and rotor detection
The motor cover contains the detection circuits for speed, rotor and imbalance. The LED V11 on themain board indicates the function of the speed and rotor detection. A measurement of the signal isnot possible.
Rotor detection
4 magnets mounted on each rotors bottom are detected by aHall Effect sensor in the motor cover. The magnets arealternately arranged in polarity on a ring around the rotorscentre. The gap between 2 magnets varies with different rotortypes, but is at least 20°.The magnets are switching a flip-flop stage by which differentpulse lengths and pulse intermissions are generated during onerotor rotation. By this signal the CPU is able to detect up to 65different rotors and the correct direction of rotation, too.After the rotor has been recognized this signal is used for theredundant speed measurement.
Speed detection
A Hall Effect sensor in the rotor cover counts the passing bymagnets. As the 4 magnets are arranged alternating in polarity,2 north and 2 south poles make one revolution.For safety reasons the speed detection circuit is redundant andthe rotor detection circuit is used to detect the speed, too, afterthe rotor has been recognized.
Imbalance detection
After the rotor has been recognized, the depending vibrationcurve is loaded from the NV-RAM. If vibration, which is detectedby an accelerometer in the motor cover, exceeds this curve, animbalance alarm is triggered by the CPU.
Lid lock system
The lid is closed by pressing the hook into the latch. Two micro switches monitor the correct positionof the hook and the emergency opening during the run. An alarm is triggered if one of these two microswitches opens, while the rotor is spinning.The latch is unlocked by a bi-directional stepper motor controlled by a stepper motor driver on themain board. A micro switch is used for the 0-position finding after each opening and at power on.For additional safety the motor driver is de-activated by a relay when the speed is above 120rpm.
