CHAPTER 2 Description This section describes the Avanti J-26XP centrifuge components and their functions. It also describes system safety features and centrifuge controls and displays. Refer to the applicable rotor manual for rotor descriptions. Centrifuge Function and Safety Features Centrifuge Function The Avanti J-26XP is a refrigerated centrifuge that generates centrifugal forces required for a wide variety of applications.
Description Centrifuge Function and Safety Features The user interface has a digital display, which can be toggled to show either actual centrifuge values or user-entered setup values, knobs for parameter entry, and touch keys. Diagnostic messages on the control panel will light to alert the operator to conditions that may need attention. Safety Features Avanti J-26XP centrifuges have been designed and tested to operate safety indoors at altitudes up to 2 000 m (6 562 ft).
Description Name Rating Plate Friction Reduction System (FRS) The friction reduction system (FRS) uses a mechanical rotary vane vacuum pump to reduce chamber pressure to approximately one-quarter atmosphere (190 mm Hg). The pump turns on after the run is started, before rotor friction reaches a high level. When the required vacuum level is reached, the pump turns off. Vacuum in the chamber is vented during rotor deceleration.
Description Controls and Indicators Figure 2.1 The Power Switch Control Panel The control panel (Figure 2.2) is mounted at an angle on the centrifuge top rear for easy visibility and access. It contains a digital display for actual and setup values, knobs and touch keys for parameter entry, and additional touch keys for system control. Figure 2.2 The Control Panel 1 1. Digital Display Digital Display The display shows current status of the instrument whenever the power is turned on.
Description Controls and Indicators • When HOLD is selected (no run time is specified), the TIME display shows the time elapsed since START was pressed. After 3 hours (180 minutes) have elapsed, the timer will reset to 0 and continue counting elapsed time until STOP is pressed. Knobs and Touch Keys The rotor name, speed, time, and temperature settings are entered by turning the appropriate knob until the required value is displayed.
Description Controls and Indicators TIME Selection Two time modes are available. The HR:MIN mode is used for runs of specified lengths. The HOLD mode is used for continuous runs of unspecified lengths. The HOLD key is used to toggle between the two modes. In HR:MIN mode: • The TIME knob is used to set run time, which can be set up to 3 hours and 0 minutes (180 minutes). • Each TIME knob increment is 1 minute. A full turn of the knob equals 60 minutes. • The time setting can be changed during a run.
Description Controls and Indicators System Keys START Pressed to begin a run. When START is pressed, the display immediately shows the actual centrifuge values. The green START light flashes during acceleration until set speed is reached, and then remains on continuously until deceleration begins. STOP Pressed to end a run; the centrifuge decelerates to a complete stop according to the deceleration setting. The red STOP light blinks during deceleration.
