Centrifuge 5702 is non-refrigerated, Centrifuge 5702 R is refrigerated and Centrifuge 5702 RH is a refrigerated and
heatable bench-top centrifuge. For these centrifuges following rotors are available:
Fixed-angle rotor F-35-30-17 with a capacity of 30 x 15 ml centrifuge tubes.
Fixed-angle rotor F-45-24-11 with a max. capacity of 24 x 1.5 / 2.0 ml in micro test tubes.
Fixed-angle rotor F-45-18-17-Cryo with a max. capacity of 18 x cryotubes (max. 17 mm).
Swing-bucket rotor A-4-38 with a max. capacity of 4 x 85 ml in round buckets and 4 x 90 ml in
rectangular buckets.
Swing-bucket rotor A-8-17 with a max. capacity of 8 x 15 ml.
Before using the centrifuge 5702 / 5702 R / 5702 RH for the first time, please read the operating manual.
The latest version of the manual and the safety instructions in your language can be found on the Internet at
www.eppendorf.com.
You will see this symbol on your centrifuge and at a number of points throughout this manual. The texts it
highlights are relevant to safety. Use the centrifuge only after having read the safety notices.
The Centrifuge 5702 / 5702 R / 5702 RH is intended exclusively for indoor use and for separating aqueous solutions and
suspensions of various densities in approved test tubes.
This device may only be operated by trained specialist staff. They must have carefully read the operating manual and be
familiar with the function of the device.

– The device is heavy. Lifting and carrying the device can lead to back injuries.
► The device may only be transported in its original packaging.
► The device must be transported by least two people.
► Use a transport aid (e.g., dolly) to transport the device longer distances.
– For 5702 R / RH only: In order to prevent damage to the compressor following improper transport, the device
may not be switched on until four hours after setting up.
– For 5702 only: Please remove the transport safety device and keep it for possible use if the device is
subsequently moved again.
– Place the centrifuge on a solid, flat, non-resonant lab bench. For the Centrifuge 5702 R / RH , the condensation
water tray should be inserted from the side (see cover flap).
– The surrounding area must be well ventilated and protected against direct sunlight.
To ensure that the ventilation of the device is not impaired, a fundamental clearance of 30 cm to the side and a
min. of 15 cm to the back wall must be maintained. This is especially important for the refrigeration capacity of
the 5702 R / RH.
– During centrifugation, according to the recommendations set out in EN 61010-2-020 a safety clearance of 30 cm
must be maintained around the centrifuge within which there are no objects which may be destroyed and so
cause further damage.
–Only connect the device to power supplies which correspond with the electrical requirements on the name plate.
Only use sockets with a protective earth (PE) conductor and suitable power cable.
– Now connect the centrifuge to the power supply and switch it on at the main power switch (on the rear side,
see cover flap). The centrifuge is now ready for operation. The Stand-by button lights up green and the display is
active.
– Before starting, check that the rotor is firmly seated.
