Mgliche Beschdigungen an Bedienteilen der Centrifugen 5417 C
Durch Rckmeldungen ber unsere Service Info Line (SIL) aus den Mrkten wurden wir auf einen mglichen
Fehler an neuen Bedienteilen der Centrifugen 5417C aufmerksam gemacht.
Beim Abziehen der Schutzfolie verblieben offensichtlich Kleberreste auf der Oberflche des Display. In vielen
Fllen lieen sich diese Rckstnde mit handelsblichem Waschbenzin entfernen. In einigen Fllen war jedoch
die Oberflche des Display bereits angegriffen, so dass das Bedienteil ausgewechselt werden musste.
Als Verursacher dieser Beschdigungen wurde ein Silikon-Lsungsmittel in einem Glasreiniger ermittelt.
Der entsprechende Fertigungsprozess wurde bereits gendert.
Sollten Sie ein Display vorfinden, bei dem sich die Kleberreste nicht rckstandslos mit Waschbenzin entfernen
lassen, berichten Sie uns diesen Fall bitte unter Angabe der Gertenummer per SIL. Wir werden das Bedienteil
umgehend austauschen.
Possible damage to control panels of the Centrifuge 5417 C
Due to feedback obtained from the markets through our Service Info Line (SIL) , a possible error involving the
new control panels of the Centrifuge 5417C has been brought to our attention.
When the protective foil is pulled off, it seems that adhesive residue remains on the surface of the display.
In many cases this residue can be removed with commercially available petroleum ether. However, in some
cases the surface of the display had already been damaged, meaning that the control panel needed to be
exchanged.
A silicone solvent in a glass cleaner has been determined to be the cause of the damage.
The production process involved has already been changed.
If you should discover a display where it is not possible to completely remove the adhesive residue with
petroleum ether, please report this case to us with the device number via an SIL. We will replace the control
panel immediately.

New serial number for all centrifuges

Starting with the beginning of January 2008 all newly produced centrifuges carry a
redesigned nameplate. Additionally, there is a new consistent format of the serial number.
Redesigned nameplate for centrifuges with the new 12-digit serial number (example):
Please note that, depending on the type of instrument, it can take some time until the first
devices with the new nameplate and the new serial number reach the market.

Customer service displays
For Centrifuge 5417 C from serial no. 13.000 onwards and for Centrifuge 5417 R from serial no. 7.000
onwards.
If the SOFT and SPEED-PLUS keys are pressed simultaneously, the centrifuge switches over to the ser-
vice display mode. This does not depend on the current centrifuge operational mode. The centrifugation
runs remain unaffected. The displays are run through by pressing the SOFT key. During the service dis-
play, a SOFT switchover is not possible.
In the case of error, the display automatically jumps to "current error message". It is then possible to
switch to different displays.
The display "current error message" shows the current error and the error location. For Error 6, the con-
verter error number is also shown.

10) Imbalance calibration
General information:
Imbalance calibration requires two calibration weights. Two reaction tubes of 1.5 ml or 2.0 ml are filled
and balanced with the corresponding material (e.g. quartz sand).
The tube for the lower calibration value must have a total weight of 2.3 g 0.1 g. The total weight of the
vessel for the upper calibration value is 3.8 g 0.1 g.
If the imbalance calibration is carried out with fixed-angle rotor F 45-30-11 or FA 45-30-11 (rotor number
R0), the determined limits are converted for the swing-bucket rotor and the PCR rotor (rotor number R1)
as well as the 24-position rotor (rotor number R2).
However, if the calibration is carried out with a different rotor than the 30-position rotor, the determined
values are valid for this rotor only; the values cannot be carried over to another rotor!
The imbalance calibration is carried out without rotor lid.
Install a flyweight of 2.3 g (lower value) into the rotor.

Close the centrifuge lid.
START program 10
Three runs are carried out and the measured value imbalance value is displayed,
The lid automatically opens after the third run.
Install a flyweight of 3.8 g (upper value).
Close the centrifuge lid, Three runs are repeated.

magnet.
Error 34 Incorrect measuring series (deviation is too large or the space between the measuring
series too small).
Possible causes: the distance between the sensor and magnet is too large or is set
incorrectly.
Error 35 Idle value of the imbalance sensor is outside the specified limits.

11) Determination of acceleration and braking times
Load the rotor completely.

Close the lid.
START program 11

SHORT To return to the program selection

Acceleration and braking times depend on the rotor model, load and voltage version. The average values
listed below are valid for 30-position rotor F 45-30-11 with the maximum load:
Voltage version Acceleration time (sec) Braking time (sec)

230 V 7.510.5 9.011.5

100 V 10.013.5 11.015.0
Soft ramp approx. 60 sec approx. 60 sec

12) Overspeed cut-off test
Close the lid

START program 12
A rotational speed above the cut-off rotational speed is set by the software. If the centrifuge is OK, it
switches itself off via Error 7 when the cut-off speed has been reached and then decelerates with brak-
ing.
If there is no cut-off, the run must be immediately stopped by hand!

The cut-off rotational speeds are 300 rpm above the nominal speed of the rotor in use.

KS/ 1709
9 Maintenance
Description of centrifuge maintenance
M 01 Cleaning of the device in accordance with the operating manual

Clean the centrifuge as described in the corresponding operating manual and supplement sheets.
M 02 Condensation water tray drain hose

Drain the condensation water tray and remove it.
Check the hose for any obstructions and gently blow with compressed air, if necessary.
M 03 Visual check of the display

Check the display with the corresponding service program.
Pay special attention to the following:
Defective pixels
Background lighting
Illumination of the prog and stand by keys
Test of the buzzer
M 04 Keypad
Test the keypad with the corresponding service program and press each key.
Tactility
M 05 Stability
Check the device feet to ensure stability of the device. In case of crack formation, the feet must be
replaced.
M 05 Housing
Clean the housing as described in the corresponding operating manual and supplement sheets.
Inspect for any damage which could impair safety.
In case of any cracks, liquid might leak into the device. The housing must be replaced.
M 06 Rotor chamber
Check the rotor chamber for damages.
Look out for cracks, especially in case of plastic rotor chambers.
Clean metal rotor chambers in accordance with the instructions in the operating manual.
They consist of stainless steel or specially coated metal.
If samples with a high concentration of sodium chloride (NaCL) are used, spots which look like rust
can occur.
These spots must be removed immediately with polishing paste. Rust can only develop if the
maintenance measures recommended in the operating manual are not complied with.
If glass splinters are in the rotor chamber during centrifugation, black/gray abrasion may occur.
If glass tubes have broken, the rotor and the complete rotor chamber must be cleaned immediately
to remove glass splinters. Small particles might get caught in rubber parts such as the motor
sleeve, rotor chamber sealing and rubber mats of adapters. These particles may be released later
and cause a sandblast effect with rubber abrasion. Thoroughly clean the rotor chamber and
replace all rubber parts.
KS/ 1709 Care and maintenance 9-3

9 Maintenance
M 07 Cleaning and greasing the rotor chamber seal
Clean the rotor chamber seal as described in the corresponding operating manual and supplement
sheets.
Perform the maintenance measures recommended there such as applying glycerin or silicone
grease to the seals.
Crack formation
Deformation
Hardened seals
Replace damaged seals.
A defective seal may cause the ingress of air into the rotor chamber to increase, which may lead
to an increase in ice formation in the rotor chamber, depending on the indoor air humidity. Ice
formation has a negative impact on the cooling performance of the centrifuge.
A hardened seal may cause problems when closing the lid.
M 08 Lid latch with emergency release

Check the emergency release for proper functioning.
Observe the notes in the operating manual.
M 08 Lid latch reed switch

Check the reed switch with the corresponding service program.
In addition, a reed switch can be checked manually using a magnet.
M 08 Lid latch locking mechanism

Check the locking mechanism with the corresponding service program. In the service program,
each individual step of the locking process can be triggered by a separate keystroke.
It is useful to remove the front panel and/or the housing of the centrifuge to better observe the
individual movement phases.
Check the latches of the system.
Lid latch
Wear of the lid eyelets
Slides and hooks
M 09 Lid springs
The lid spring must be replaced every 2 years during maintenance as a precautionary measure.
Visible wear, e.g. chafe marks.
M 09 Gas spring
The gas spring must be replaced at the latest every 2 years during maintenance as a precautionary
measure.
A new gas spring will ensure a lid opening angle of > 75.
When the centrifuge is not in use, the centrifuge lid should always be open and must not be
restricted in its opening, e.g. by shelves mounted above the centrifuge.
Observe the notes in the operating manual.
M 10 Cleaning and lubricating the lid locking mechanism

Clean with a degreasing agent (e.g. alcohol).
Do not use acidic cleaning agents.
Only use high performance grease paste (e.g. Gleitmo WSP 5040) for lubricating the lid locking
mechanism.
9-4 Care and maintenance KS/ 1709

9 Maintenance
M 11 Motor cap
Replace the motor cap seals of the Centrifuges 5804, 5804R, 5810 and 5810R every 2 years as a
precautionary measure.
Cracks
Damage
Centered and tension-free installation
Penetrating liquids may cause considerable damage to the centrifuge.
Cracks and damage may result from improperly closed brackets on the aerosol-tight caps.
Tubes or other parts jammed in the rotor chamber during the centrifugation process may damage the
device.
Only insert the motor cap of the Centrifuge 5430 R with silicone rubber E 41.
M 11 Speed sensor
Install the rotor and check rotor detection and the rotor relation with the appropriate service
program.
Check the motor speed sensor of the Centrifuges 5430, 5430R, 5702, 5702R and 5702RH with the
customer service indications.
Note: Perform the speed check in accordance with the OQ.
M 12 Motor sleeve
Cracks
Damage
Correct installation (to ensure leak tightness)
Liquid ingressing into the device may cause significant damage.
Only insert the motor sleeve of the Centrifuge 5430 R with Loctite 5910.
M 13 Motor
Remove the rotor and rotate the motor shaft by hand. Running noise and a stiff movement indicate
bearing wear.
When the motor is disassembled, look out for signs of corrosion and cracks in the bearing shield of
the motor.
M 13 Motor shaft
Ensure that the motor shaft is clean, and look out for signs of wear.
Grooves and scratches result from careless mounting/dismounting of the rotor or from incorrect
tensioning of the rotor screw by the user.
The taper bush of the Centrifuges 5804, 5804R, 5810 and 5810R must be firmly connected to the
motor shaft. Do not use silicone grease or similar products for lubrication.
The O-ring of the Centrifuges 5702, 5702R and 5702RH must be renewed every 2 years.
M 14 Drive suspension
Check the drive suspension for cracks.
In case of horizontal installation of the shock mounts, the drive suspension is subjected to
particular stress.

9 Maintenance
M 14 Shock mounts
As a precautionary measure, the shock mounts should be replaced every 2 years as a whole set
(3 pieces).
Cracks
Damage
Deformed shock mounts
If installed horizontally, the shock mounts are exposed to shear forces, facilitating the formation of
cracks when heavily stressed.
If installed vertically, the shock mounts are subjected to stress by the large weight of the loaded rotor,
which may lead to deformation and cracks.
M 15 Imbalance detection
1. Load the rotor in a one-sided way.

ME 06 Electrical test
See "Description: Device check for centrifuges".
ME 07 Compulsory testing in Germany (BGR 500):

In Germany, centrifuges with a nominal power consumption (without refrigerating system) of more than
500 W or a kinetic energy exceeding 10,000 Nm are subject to compulsory testing in accordance with
accident prevention regulation BGR 500 (formerly VBG 7z).
This applies to the following centrifuges by Eppendorf AG: Centrifuge 5804/5804R/5810/5810R/5810

RA.
This means that a periodic inspection must be completed in the operational state at least once a year,
and in the disassembled state at least every 3 years. Rotors with a kinetic energy not exceeding 10,000
Nm are not subject to compulsory testing, but because of the fact that they are used in Centrifuges
5804/5804R/5810/5810R/5810 RA, all rotors (swing-bucket rotors with buckets) must be included in
the tests.
The centrifuge operator is, on his own authority, responsible to provide proper evidence to document
the required tests.

12-2 Descriptions MMT/MMWT/ 3099

12 Descriptions
Power unit for motor drive and brake chopper
The frequency converter transforms the single-phase alternating current into a three-phase alternating
current for driving the three-phase asynchronous motor without collectors. The converter is equipped with
a basic data set, which can be updated at any time to the necessary parameters via the interface. With
this type of control, it is possible to set acceleration and braking curves as desired and to minimize power
consumption and power loss. The resistors required for the brake chopper operation are connected to
S402.
The converter contains the electronic braking circuit, which uses the external braking resistors in order to
reduce the excess energy which is generated (motor acts as generator).
Computer core with interface to the operating unit PCB
The core of the computer is formed by the Siemens Controller C504, which provides complete central
control of the drive (data communication for operation, generating a rotary field, or monitoring current and
voltage). The data communication between control and converter is based on a serial data transmission
(RS 232) via the connection cable to X4 or X604. This makes it possible to modify the converter
parameters for an optimal centrifuge run even when the run is taking place. During the run, there is a
continuous telegram exchange, so that also converter errors can be analyzed immediately. The data
output to the converter is carried out via port 6.1 and the data acceptance from the converter via port 3.0
of the processor on the keypad.
Display/operation assembly group
This assembly group consists of a matrix with an adhesive front foil and a PCB which is equipped on both
sides. The following parts are integrated onto the PCB:
Short-stroke keys for operation and for entering parameters

Seven-segment LC display with background illumination
Computer core (Siemens-Controller SAB 80C515A) (IC1), OTP (IC2), address latch (IC3) and
EEPROM (IC4)
Peripheral electronics for processing signals (sensors) and data communication
The processor operates with a clock frequency of 12 MHz which is generated by means of an oscillatory
circuit. This circuit consists of an oscillator switch in the processor and an external 12 MHz quartz (Q1)
with two 22 pF capacitors (C29, C30).
The operating system of the centrifuge is stored on the OTP. The EEPROM makes it possible to store
current operating parameters, such as rotational speed, duration of the last run and operating hours. This
data remains saved even after the centrifuge has been switched off and can be called up again after the
centrifuge has been switched on again. All control signals and sensor signals (except for lid inquiry) are
transferred to or from the converter via a 26-pin flat-band cable (X4). Please note that the adaptation of
the sensor leads at the converter PCB differs according to whether 5417 C or 5417 R is used. However,
the signal processing on the operating LP is identical.

12 Descriptions
Rotational speed determination and rotor recognition
These functions are carried out with the aid of a unipolar Hall sensor (TL4905L). This sensor consists of a
3-pin flat-band cable and is soldered to a sensor board located below the motor covering in the rotor
chamber. As the output is designed as an open-collector, R13 acts as "pull-up" resistor and supplies a
defined signal at the processor port (e.g. if a cable break occurs between the sensor and the keypad
PCB). R15 and C19 help to reduce interfering pulses (low-pass filter) and IC6 helps to improve the
steepness of the pulse.
Active mechanism
Under influence of a magnetic field, the output of the sensor becomes conductive against ground. When
the rotor is spinning, the magnetic strips on the rotor move past the Hall sensor and generate "LOW"
pulses, according to the width of the magnet. These impulses are evaluated as rotational speed pulses.
Four magnets of an identical width are used for each rotor, with the width used depending on the rotor
model. This enables clear coding of the rotors. The rotational speed has no effect in this regard.
Imbalance determination
Imbalance determination is carried out by a system which analyzes the distance between a magnet
fastened to the motor and an analog Hall sensor (UGN3503U). The sensor is integrated on PCB
"Imbalance Detection", which amplifies the Hall signal. The height and polarity of the induced voltage
corresponds to the strength and polarity of the magnetic field. Depending on the position of the motor
axle, the magnetic field of the magnet influences the sensor with different field strengths. In turn, this
changes the induced voltage at the output. This enables an analysis of the imbalance which is
reproducible exactly. The assembly is either directly mounted on the converter PCB (5417 C) or mounted
on the motor plate and adapted to the converter PCB (5417 R) via plug X601. The amplified sensor signal
reaches the keypad PCB (X4) via X604. It reaches the control processor (pinport 6.0) via an RC
combination, which functions as a low-pass filter and dampens interfering pulses. At this processor, it is
transformed into a signal which can be analyzed by the internal A/D converter. This assembly group is
installed at a distance of approx. 10 mm from the permanent magnet. In order to achieve a sufficient
signal, the operating voltage of the OPV on the imbalance PCB is 8 V. The signal is generated on the
converter PCB from the 24 V supply by means of a Z-stabilization. Since the analog voltage on the
processor pin of the operating unit PCB must not exceed 5 V, the voltage is limited by a 4.7 V Z-diode
(ZD1).

12 Descriptions
Temperature determination (Refrigerated Centrifuge 5417 R only)
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 base of the rotor chamber. The sensor (NTC 10 k / 25 C) changes its
resistance in accordance with the temperature. The connection cables are connected to plug X601 of the
converter PCB. The signal reaches the operating unit PCB via X604, where it reaches the analog port
(PORT 6.1) of the processor with the voltage divider (R12) and the voltage modification is registered and
analyzed.
Condenser temperature
The condenser temperature is measured with the aid of an NTC resistor which is fastened to the port of
the compressor. This sensor (NTC 10 k / 25 C) serves as protection against overtemperature for the
compressor and as control element for the rotational speed control of the condenser fan. It is connected
to the analogue port of the processor (PORT 6.2) via X602 and X604 and a voltage divider (R14). The
measurement is carried out in proportion to the rotor chamber temperature.
Lid magnet selection and lid query
The lid latch mechanism contains a solenoid magnet and two switches, which are mounted in a separate
assembly group in the casing. The solenoid magnet is a DC magnet which is supplied with rectified mains
voltage by the converter PCB. Two solid-state relays (triac with optocoupler port), which are located on
the converter PCB, serve as "mains" switches. X4 and X604 of the keypad PCB serve to open the triacs,
which releases the magnet. A pulse of 200 ms in length opens the lid. When the machine has come to a
standstill and the "OPEN" key has been pressed, this pulse is sent from the processor pin (P5.2). The
signal distance of this pulse is connected to a monoflop circuit (IC7, C27, R39), which stops opening
pulses, if there are still rotational speed pulses. This circuit serves as an additional protection which
prevents the lid from being released unintentionally before the rotor has come to a standstill. The lid
position query has an important safety function, in order to prevent the machine from starting when the lid
is open. One microswitch recognizes the position of the locking and the other switch recognizes the lid
position.
Refrigerated version (5417 R): Second microswitch at the ejector of the lid recognition.
Non-refrigerated version (5417 C): Second switch is a Reed sensor that is activated by a magnet located
in the lid.
However, in both machines, both switches must be closed in order to signal that the machine is ready to
operate. This means that both processor ports (P3.4, P3.5) are connected to GND.
Converter interface
The data output (TX1) and the data input (RX1) are transported by two port cables (P3.0, P3.1). The
release cable (P5.3) has an additional safety function, as it can prevent the converter power level from
releasing. This release cable is additionally connected to the lid query signals by means of the hardware.
When the centrifuge lid is not closed properly, the release signal is blocked. The connection to a monoflop

12 Descriptions
(IC7) offers additional protection against non-permitted release (e.g. if the keypad processor does not
operate correctly). A pulse frequency of 20 Hz from the processor must be applied to the monoflop in
order to maintain the release for the converter. This prevents the output signal (continuous release) from
switching off. If there are no trigger pulses from the processor (e.g. when the processor is reset), the final
amplifiers of the converter are switched off.
Condenser fan regulation (Refrigerated Centrifuge 5417 R only)
A condenser is installed in the refrigeration circuit which is used to distribute the heat from the
compressor to the surroundings. In addition, a fan supplies the condenser with cooling air. regulation of
the fan occurs via phase-control. This is realized by a solid-state relay (SR603 on the converter PCB),
which influences the voltage on the fan via a control signal (P1.3) from the processor. The rotational
speed of the fan depends on the condenser temperature which has been determined.
Power supply
for the refrigerating aggregate, the condenser fan and the solenoid valve (5417 R only)
These three aggregates operate with the mains voltage and are designed for the corresponding voltage
versions.
Refrigerating aggregate
Connecting the mains voltage via relay (REL 602) on the converter PCB to the connecting plugs SVL6,
SVN6. The command for switching is given by the data interface and carried out by the converter control.
Condenser fan
The mains voltage controlled by the solid-state relay is connected to the fan via X606 of the converter
PCB. Regulation takes place via a direct control cable from the processor of the operating unit PCB.
Solenoid valve
The solenoid valve is switched on and off by a solid-state relay (SR604) that is controlled via a direct
control cable from the processor of the keypad PCB. The solenoid valve is connected to the converter by
means of the terminal X607.
PC interface
Centrifuges 5417 R/C are prepared for operation at a PC interface. This means that the operating unit
PCB contains a plug board (X3) which can be connected to an additional assembly group via a cable.
This assembly group is used for adaptation to a standardized serial interface RS 232. Port 4 (4.0...4.4) on
the processor (IC1) is designed to carry out data exchange.
