2.1.1.6 Rotor Fixing and Motor Shaft
· check the trouble-free condition of the locking nut and replace it in case of malfunction
· check the condition of the drive motor shaft: the centrifuge must not be used any longer, if the drive
shaft is damaged (bend, thread is worn out, etc.)
2.1.1.7 Temperature Control Circuit
· clean the condenser with a dust exhauster
· check the thermal isolated fixing and the correct place of the temperature sensor
· reinstall the rotor and run the centrifuge at maximum rotor speed and at 4°C, check the
temperature 15 minutes later: the displayed and measured value should be approximately the
same (allowed tolerances ±2°)

Maintenance
2.1.2 Maintenance Routine after Dismantling the Centrifuge Casing

2.1.2.1 Motor Supporting Elements
· check the supporting and damping motor elements and replace them in case of increased rubber
abrasion or abundance of imbalance but at least every 3 years
2.1.2.2 Braking Circuit
· check the function of the braking circuit (warming up of brake resistor, even and noiseless brake
effect) and replace defective parts in case of malfunction
2.1.2.3 Ventilation and proper Air Flow
· check the sucking performance of the fans (a piece of paper must be sucked on), if necessary
clean or replace defective fan
· check the air path and lateral sealing: no air must be redrawn from inside, if necessary replace the
lateral insulation
2.1.2.4 Lead and Screwing Connections
· check the terminal and plug connections of all leads and on all boards and electrical components,
tighten all loosen screwing connections, refit or replace defective parts
· check the screwing connections of all boards, mechanical and electrical components and re-
tighten them if necessary (use screw locking lacquer for motor mounts and lid lock assembly)

2.4 Mounting and adjustment of the torsion spring
2.4.1 Purpose
The torsion spring offers the user a comfortable support when closing and opening the centrifuge lid.
When the "open lid" key is pressed, the lid lock is released on both sides and the lid bursts open and
remains in a 20° position. Up to an angle of 45° the lid remains stable in any chosen position, beyond
45° it automatically opens to full extent.
2.4.2 Mounting
The torsion spring assembly contains the following parts:
· torsion spring
· 2 plain bearing bushes (for shaft guidance)
· 2 bushing nipples (for leg catch)
· 2 set screws (aid for fixing legs)
· dowel pin (for hooking the torsion spring onto the shaft)
· tube of Loctite 221 (for fastening screws)
· tube of Molykote TP42 (for lubrication of the torsion spring)
Preparation:
The defective torsion spring has been removed as described in Section 5, the old plain bearing bushes
and bushing nipples have been removed.
1. Press the new plain bearing bush from outside into the right-hand bore of the chassis.
2. Slip on both bushing nipples up to the head of the hexagon bolt M6x12. Fix the screws again to the
chassis and secure with Loctite 221.
3. Push the old dowel pin carefully from the shaft using a pin punch, then push the new dowel pin on
using a plane surface (e.g. a wooden panel).
Mounting the shaft and torsion spring:

4. Grease the short end of the shaft evenly using about 5 g of Molykote TP42.
Attention! Do not cover the plain bearing with grease!
5. Slip the torsion spring onto the short end of the shaft (short loop first).
6. Push the long end of the shaft through the left-hand bore of the chassis and slip into right-hand
plain bearing bush.
7. Press the plain bearing bush via the shaft into the left-hand bore of the chassis.
2.4.3 Adjustment
Preassembly and alignment of the legs:
8. Push both legs onto the ends of the shaft such that the bores are horizontally oriented and the leg
ends point forward.
9. Screw the M8 nuts loosely onto each of the shaft ends to position the legs.
10. Screw one dowel pin each tightly into the rear threaded bores, thereby fixing them with the bore in
the chassis.
Stretching the torsion spring:

11. Push a suitable screwdriver from behind into the left-hand bore of the shaft and turn totally to the
front. Grip the shaft via the middle bore with another screwdriver and turn it to approximately 15°
from horizontal.
12. Tighten fast both nuts of the shaft.
2.4.4 Assembling lid and housing

13. Put lid in place. It must catch audibly into both locks.
14. Screw on front cap screws on both sides, thereby fastening the lid tightly to the two legs.
15. Replace one by one the two set screws in the rear bores by the remaining two cap screws.
16. Manually release the locks. The lid should come to rest at an angle of 15-30°. If this is not the
case, restretch using the middle bore of the shaft. Should this be impossible, the lid must be
disassembled and the spring must be stretched anew!
17. If the angle is okay, secure the M8 nuts with one drop of Loctite each on the legs.
18. Close the lid and replace the rear cap screws on both sides by set screws. Attention! Set screws
must not jut out of the legs!

17.11.02 MH
Maintenance
19. Screw lid off and mount housing.

20. Reassemble lid as described above and check opening angle of 15-30°.
2.5 Assembly and Adjustment of the Drive

2.5.1 Purpose of the adjustment
The temperature measurement of the Biofuge fresco is done using a slim temperature probe. The tip
of this temperature probe is fixed at a very short distance to the motor cover as well as to the rotor. In
order to guarantee an accurate temperature measurement, a defined distance to both rotor and motor
cover is mandatory! For this purpose, the drive must be adjusted.
2.5.2 Mounting / Adjustment of the drive with help of the rotor #3327/3328
Fasten rubber buffers to the transverse crosshead using nuts and washers.
· Place transverse crosshead inside the chassis and fasten with screws such that the screws are
aligned with the upper ends of the long holes.
· Connect the motor to the rubber buffers using the screws and locking rings.
Adjusting the transverse crosshead

· Put three cylindrical spacers with a thickness of 6,0±0,1 mm (diameter 10 to 20mm) for rotor
#3327/3328 into the evaporator.
· Position the rotor onto the motor shaft and fasten with flanged nut.
· Loosen the screws about ½ turn and carefully move transverse crosshead downward until the rotor
rests on top of the spacers. Attention! Make sure the transverse crosshead is horizontally placed.
Besides, the rubber buffers must not be stretched or tilted.
· Fasten all 8 screws of the transverse crosshead.
Checking the adjustment

· Replace the spacers by three 5,0±0,1 mm thick spacers (diameter 10 to 20mm) for rotor
#3327/3328. Fasten rotor again as prescribed.
· Turn rotor manually. The motor is correctly mounted if the rotor does not touch the spacers. If it
does, the adjustment must be repeated.
· Remove spacers and secure screws with a drop of screw lock.
· Reinstall centrifuge and rotor as prescribed and do a test run.
2.6 Cleaning of Instrument Parts
ATTENTION - WARNING!
The electrical and electronic components must not be cleaned with moist detergents!
For Cleaning the centrifuge housing or its accessories see Operating Instructions section 1
(maintenance and care).
· Electronic components
Clean dusty components carefully with a dry and soft brush and remove loose dust with a
vacuum cleaner.
· Fans
Scratch off carefully with a knife or similar tool the crusted dirt from the fans’ blades. Resulting
grooves or marks must be removed subsequently with a fine abrasive cloth. Loose dirt is to
remove with an absorbent cloth or vacuum cleaner.
· Vent holes
Remove dirt from the vent grid behind the front panel by using a brush and vacuum cleaner.
· Condensers of cooling plant
The louvers between the condensers’ heat air deflectors have to be vacuum cleaned. In case of
persistent dirt the unit must be carried to an appropriate place where the condensers can be
cleaned with compressed air from inside to outside. Bent heat air deflectors have to be realigned
correctly.

17.11.02 MH
Maintenance
2.7 Electrical Safety Check
ATTENTION!
A final electrical safety check must be performed after each maintenance and/or repair!
· Resistance check of protective conductor

The measuring value of the resistance between the mains plug's grounding pin and the grounding
conductors of the motor, electronic chassis and the casing must not exceed 200 mW.
· Insulation resistance Check
Check also the insulation resistance between the poles of the mains plug and the grounding
conductor; the resistance value must be more than 2 MW.
· Accessible current measured to EN 61 010
The accessible current must not exceed 3.5 mAmps in single fault condition (interrupted
protection earth wire)! In accordance with the EN61010, IEC1010 and UL3101 such a fault
condition can be reproduced by the following measuring circuit.

3.2.2 Intermediate Circuit with Brake Path and Frequency Converter

Intermediate Circuit
The DC intermediate circuit serves as an energy store between the AC power input and the
transmitted motor performance. The intermediate circuit consists of a bridge rectifier (4 diodes) and
one reservoir capacitor which is softly charged, continuously supplied during operation and slowly
discharged after power off.
Brake Path
Electrical power is fed back into the intermediate circuit during motor deceleration (motor acts as
generator). This braking power is transformed into heat by two big brake resistors (parallel connected)
on board so that the intermediate circuit voltage does not rise to an excessive level (see section 2 -
test points on main board). The brake resistors are switched into the intermediate circuit by a fast
switching transistor (pulse width modulation). This transistor is voltage dependant controlled by a self-
acting stage (closed loop).
Frequency Converter
The motor is 3-phased provided with chopped direct voltage blocks. These blocks are variable in
frequency and pulse width modulation and are dephased to 120° between the motor windings.
Beginning with low frequency and small pulse width chopped blocks, both parameters will be
increased up to the operators set speed. By this variation the acceleration power of the drive motor
can be effected. For deceleration the frequency and pulse width parameters will be reduced. The
frequency converter is protected against over current, over temperature and over voltage.

28.11.02 MH
3.2.3 Microcontroller (Central Processing Unit)

The controller block includes the central processor unit (CPU) 80C21 PLCC and the data storage (NV-
RAM) 9346 with the software identification No's. for:
· CPU: 097 8 xx (first displayed No. in speed, time and temperature field)
· RAM: 415 8 xx (second displayed No. in speed, time and temperature field)
The second parts of these No.'s (xx displayed in the temperature field) will be upgraded if necessary.
The ROM with control program is integrated in the CPU. The most important operating parameters
(e.g. the maximum data or the last operator settings) are stored in the non volatile (NV) -RAM.
The CPU co-operates with the ASIC 80 component via the 8 bit data bus and some control lines. The
ASIC 80 is a specially designed integrated circuit for the driving of our centrifuges (with induction
motors), containing additional functions for temperature measuring and electronics protection.

28.11.02 MH
3.3 Key and Indication Board

The key and indication board is mounted behind the display. The connection to the main board is done
by a 14 pole flat cable. The 7-segment displays, the control key LED and the operating keys are also
managed by the CPU. For the programming serves EASYCONTROL (see Operating Instruction
Manual).

DIASSEMBLY OF INSTRUMENT PARTS
The index numbers stated in ( ) reappear within the spare part figures (block diagram, schematic
diagram of cooling plant) and the spare part lists.
5.1 Dismantling the Housing
5.1.1 Front Panel (100)

· Open the lid. Pull out the mains plug.
· Pull the unit a little over the table's rim and remove both screws (105) from the bottom of the front
panel.
· Pull the front panel's lower rim a few centimetre to front and push it vertically out of the upper
plastic frame. ATTENTION! Do not pull the front panel too much to front! Doing so could tear off
the upper plastic holders!
· For continuing the disassembly remove or disconnect all wires.
· Refitting the front panel is performed analogously in reverse order.
5.1.2 Lid (130)

· Open the lid. Pull out the mains plug.
· Remove the 4 Allen head screws (135), using a 5 mm key and take off the lid.
5.1.3 Casing (120)

· Remove the front panel and the lid (see 5.1.1 and 5.1.2).
· Remove the 3 Phillips screws (125) in front and both lateral.
· Press both legs of the torsion spring down and fix them with a 5-mm set screw (or one of the 4
Allen head screws) in the bore of the frame.
· Lift the housing at the front and the rear, pull upwards past the legs of the torsion spring and flip
over to the front. If the leg is fixed with an Allen head screw, carefully widen the opening of the
housing with a screw driver!
· Pull off mains switch wires and take off the casing inclusive lid sealing.

5.6.2 Fans (310)

Both fans (ventilators) aspire air for cooling from the front through the ventilation slots and the wire
mesh. The air is forced past the power transistors, the lamellae of the condenser and the motor
windings and exits through the rear ventilation slots.
Take care that the Armaflex cut (218) seals the condenser tightly against the casing. Otherwise the
circulating air may form shortcuts via the slots or openings, thereby reducing cooling power and
longevity of both drive and compressor.

27.11.02 He
5.6.3 Components of the Cooling Cycle

When working on the cooling cycle the general guidelines regarding the handling of
refrigerants must be observed! The compressor oil must be recycled, too, in case of a
compressor break down!
Refrigerant: R134a (CFC-free)

Filling quantity: 135 g (individually the compressor labelled amount is relevant)
There must not be used any kind of hoses, armatures and manifold gauges which are already
contaminated with CFC based refrigerants. Otherwise the compressor oil will become an
aggressive condition and will destroy the compressor in a short time.
Procedure for replacing defective components of the cooling cycle

· Mount a pinch valve onto the compressor's service line (suction line)
· Suck off the refrigerant and recycle it
· If the compressor (340) is defective, let the oil run out into a bowl and recycle it, too.
· Unsolder the defective component(s) and replace additionally the dryer cartridge (325).
· Let a little amount of dry nitrogen gas stream through the tubes when soldering
· Do the evacuation and refill the system with the exact amount of refrigerant via a new external
dryer (check amount with a balance or filling cylinder)
The pinch valve must not be left on the line! Close the system hermetically (solder close) and fix the
service lines using cable ties with a little drop to let the oil run back after transportation.
Re-assemble the unit in reverse order and test the cooling system (see Servicing Schedule).

Revised - 11/11/2002
1. General
Successfully completing the Preventive Maintenance Checklist and Calibration Certification

Procedure as outlined will ensure that the instrument is properly maintained and calibrated to
Kendro specifications.
2. Equipment Required
· Digital Multimeter
· Temperature Meter w/probe
· Stopwatch
· Photo Tachometer
· Safety Tester
· Biofuge fresco Service Manual
· Centrifuge Operating Manual
Note: Check calibration due date on all test equipment before starting certification.
3. Documentation Required
· Preventive Maintenance Procedure and Checklist (Service Manual)

· Calibration Certification Procedure and Form
· Certification Label
· Certificate of calibration for each piece of test equipment used to perform the certification
· Training Certificate
Preventive Maintenance Check
· Perform Preventive Maintenance checks as outlined in the Kendro Service Manual to ensure
the instrument is in good working order without performing any calibrations.
· Complete the Preventive Maintenance Checklist. (calibration data will be filled in after
Certification)
Calibration Certification
· SPEED
Install a rotor, set the speed control to 3000 rpm and start the centrifuge. When the speed has
stabilized, measure the actual speed with an external tach (photo tach on multimeter where speed
= frequency[no conversion]). Record measured speed and displayed speed in the speed section of
the certification form. Set the speed control to max. rpm and after stabilization, record measured
speed and displayed speed in the speed section of the certification form. Determine if the speeds
recorded meet the specifications on the form. If the specifications are met, proceed to the next
section. A recalibration of the instrument is not possible.

Calibration Certification Procedure
Biofuge fresco
· TEMPERATURE
Place water into the rotor or bucket. Select a temperature of +4°C, maximum allowed speed of
the rotor and time of minimum 3 hours. After that record the displayed temperature, measured
temperature inside rotor or bucket after rotor has come to rest, in the temperature section of the
certification form. Repeat the test at 15°C. Record the values in the temperature section of the
certification form. Determine if the temperature values recorded meet the specifications on the
form. If the specifications are met, proceed to the next section. A recalibration of the instrument
is not possible. Initial the temperature section. To pre-cool the rotor select half maximum speed.
· TIME
Using a stopwatch, check the timer by setting a 10 minute run. Start the centrifuge and measure
from the time the start button is pushed until the timer switches to stop. Record the measured
time in the time section of the form. Determine if the time value recorded meets the specifications
in the form. If the specifications are met, proceed to the next section. A re-calibration of the
instrument is not possible. Initial the time section.
· SAFETY TEST
Using safety tester and connect the centrifuge to it. Measure Insulation resistance.. Select to Earth
Conductor resistance and touch with probe all mechanical part of the centrifuge. Resistance must
be <0.2 ohms at all points otherwise check for good grounding. Measure accessible current to
procedure in the service manual.
Documentation
After filling in the certification information complete the following documentation:
· Log test equipment data on calibration certification form.

· Review P.M.checklist and calibration certification form to ensure that all data and required
information has been recorded properly.(including your signature and date)
· Fill out a certification label and place it on the right side of the centrifuge where visible or at a
location selected by the customer.
· Ask the customer to sign the calibration certification form and place a copy in the customer’s
Certification Record Book for that centrifuge.
· Place copies of the P.M. checklist and Field Service Report in the same Record Book.
· Provide copies of your training certificate and test equipment calibration certificates if
requested by the customer.
