2.1 Servicing Schedule (yearly procedure recommended)
2.1.1 Maintenance Routine without Dismantling the Centrifuge

2.1.1.1 Electrical Installation and Safety
• switch OFF the centrifuge and disconnect the unit from power, check voltage supply and mains
fusing (20 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
2.1.1.2 Location and Mechanical Installation

• check the base (ground, table, lorry with lockable wheels etc.) for resonance-free and stable
conditions
• check for a well ventilated place and sufficient distances to walls or adjacent equipment, without
exposition to direct sunlight
• check the levelling of the centrifuge drive with use of a spirit level
2.1.1.3 Lid Tumbler Mechanism and Safety Device

• connect the centrifuge to power and switch ON
• check for correct automatic lid closing and self-acting lid opening - if in disorder, readjust lid,
swivel hinges, and/or locking devices
• check the rubber gasket for lid’s and bolt’s sealing and replace, if damaged
• for checking the electronically safety circuit: start the centrifuge, let it shortly run and stop it, the lid
must not be unlocked by the microprocessor as long as the speed is more than 60 rpm - if safety
circuit is out of function, replace main board
2.1.1.4 Cleanliness of Spin Chamber and Motor Casing

• open the lid and remove the rotor (for loosening turn the T-handle Allen key (5mm) in arrow
direction - see rim of rotor chamber)
• clean the spin chamber with a dry and absorbent cloth (remove all dust and moisture - see also
section for Cleaning)
• Check the cleanliness of the motor flange and take care of the annular slot around the motor shaft:
penetrating fluids can damage the upper motor bearing or electronics, remove fluids with an
injector and/or absorbent paper
2.1.1.5 Rotor and Accessories Condition and Sealing

• check the condition of rotors and accessory parts (especially all supporting or stressed partitions):
the rotor and/or accessory parts must not be used any longer, if there are visible traces of
mechanical damage or rust
• check the condition of rotor and/or accessory sealing and replace them in case of malfunction

Servicing Schedule (cont.)
2.1.1.6 Rotor Fixing and Motor Cone

• check the perfect condition of the collet chuck and replace it in case of malfunction (thread is worn
out, horizontal grooves etc.)
• check the condition of the motor cone: the centrifuge must not be used any longer, if the cone is
• the thread should be greased a little
2.1.1.7 Temperature Level

• check the gauze (behind the air inlet slots) underneath the front panel for free ventilation,
insufficient air flow will lead to an inadmissible temperature rise of compressor, motor and
electronic parts
2.1.1.8 Imbalance Behaviour

• install available and empty rotors and check the imbalance behaviour with rotor dependant cut off
and run through weights (see 2.4) and replace worn out motor rubber mounts, motor or faulty main
board
2.1.2 Maintenance Routine after Dismantling the Centrifuge Casing
2.1.2.1 Motor Supporting Elements

• check the supporting and damping elements of the drive motor 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 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)
2.1.2.4 Protection Earth Core and Grounding Connections

• check the protection earth core for continuity and all grounding plug connectors (see also 2.6
Electrical Safety Check)
• check isolation resistance and accessible current (see 2.6)

shooting: no “bAL“ indication.
• Insert the admissible imbalance weights in the same manner, the centrifuge must run through 4
times to maximum rotor speed.
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.

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 mΩ.
• 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 MΩ.
• 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

The DC intermediate circuit serves as an energy store between the AC power input and the
transmitted motor performance. The DC intermediate circuit consists of several reservoir capacitors
which are softly charged across the power correction module (PFC) when ever the unit is switched on.
When switching the unit off, the DC voltage of the intermediate circuit is discharged across a path of
resistor and voltage monitoring LED H3.
3.2.3 Frequency Converter

The motor is 3-phased, provided with chopped direct voltage blocks (chopped frequency
approx. 20kHz, amplitude is height of DC intermediate voltage). These blocks are variable in
frequency and pulse-width modulation, 120° out of phase. These 3 phases are controlled during
acceleration, running at set speed and deceleration (e.g. for small speed: low frequency and
small pulse-width length will be affected). The FC is protected against over current, over
temperature and over-voltage which will be indicated by LED H2.

3.2.4 Microcontroller (Central Processing Unit) Part

The software identification No's of the CPU and 2 data storage’s (NV-RAMs) 9366 are
sequentially displayed in speed and time fields:
• CPU: XXX xx (second No.)

• RAM 1 (parameters): XXYY xx (third No.)
• RAM 2 (curves): XXYY xx (fourth No.)
The actually indicated version No.'s (xx) are displayed in the time field and will be upgraded if program
or data changes are necessary. The control program (ROM) is integrated in the controller component.
The most important operating parameters (e.g. the maximum data for all rotors, the last operator
settings, the basic values for speed and temperature controlling, data of acceleration and deceleration
curves as well as 9 data sets of program places plus pre-temperation program) are stored in the non
volatile (NV)-RAMs. The actual value of all centrifugation cycles (“CYL“) is also shown in the display
(as fifth No.) when ever the unit is powered on, before the check routine for all program places puts an
end to the initialisation time (approx. 18s). 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 Heraeus centrifuges (with induction motor), containing a pulse counting stage for speed
measuring and some protecting functions for the power electronics. An other micro-controller (XXX)
and NV-RAM (XXYY) are serving the tasks for automatic imbalance and lid release control. When the
CPU (590) has identified the installed rotor type, the imbalance controller gets this code to read in a
rotor and speed dependent imbalance limitation curve from a third NV-RAM (4434). The analogue
imbalance signal is filtered, converted into digital form and continuously comperated with this specific
limitation curve. If the actual imbalance signal will rise at any speed beyond the limit, the error signal
for imbalance load “bAL“ is switched over to the CPU. An additional task of the imbalance controller is
the surveillance of the lid’s unlocked condition: Both lid motors can only be supplied with 24V by relay
K2 if the speed is less than 60 rpm.
3.2.5 Temperature Measuring

The temperature inside of the rotor chamber is measured by a PT100 sensor. The sensor’s
head is inserted into a guide boring of the motor rubber flange. The signal is led across the plug
connection (XU) to the main board where a voltage to frequency converter converts the PT100
resistance changes into a variable frequency. This frequency is processed by the ASIC80 and
finally red in by the CPU over the data bus. The calibration of the F/U converter in the range of
0°C to 50°C is regularly controlled by 2 resistors of 0.1% tolerance.

3.3 Power Factor Correction (PFC – Module)

An increasing number of loads in the public power supply networks do not – as in the past –
take the required current from the mains power supply in form of sinus waves but in form of
short and high current pulses. Mostly, these are electronically regulated loads (e.g. switched
mode power supply units, electronic engine controls, dimming devices), which increasingly gain
currency due to their low power loss ratios and the numerous advantages resulting therefrom
The input current of switched mode power supplies and other electronic loads has the shape of
a pulse wave Here, the problem is as follows: With the majority of loads, the current pulses
occur approximately at the same time, i.e. nearby the peak voltage value. For a short period of
time, the mains must cope with a current input which is larger than the loads actually require,
whereas in the remaining time it is loaded to a much less extent. The consequence is: Due to
the current spikes and the impedance typical of the power mains, the voltage curve also
deviates from the sinus-wave form, which may cause problems with sensitive loads. Moreover,
all components of the sup-ply network must – strictly speaking quite unnecessarily – be
overdimensioned, if this imbalance proliferates. In order to prevent this from happening, the
public mains power supply network operators initiated the EN61000-3-2, based on the
preceding standard EN60555-2.
In the Multifuge 4 it is used an active Power Factor correction. Here, the input capacitor is
decoupled from the mains for example by means of a so-called set-up converter, so that the
input current can now be controlled electronically. The power supply unit constantly determines
how much energy is needed on the secondary side and draws an (almost) sinusoidal current to
the necessary extent from
A red LED shows that there is power at the components and it you shouldn’t be touched until it
is “off”.
3.4 Speed Detection Board

On a small board, which is attached underneath the motor, the circuits for speed detection and signal
shaping are arranged.
The motor speed is optically detected by an infra-red light barrier. The motor axle has a slot at the
same level as the light barrier. This effects that the light beam will be interrupted twice during one
motor revolution.
A following pulse shaping stage on board forms square-topped pulses which are led via XW2 to the
main board where they are passed on to imbalance controller (see 3.5.3) and further to ASIC80
component.
The speed pulses are counted by an integrated circuit stage of the ASIC80 component to give
the CPU a hand with fast calculation of the exact motor speed.
3.5 Imbalance Detection (on speed detection board)

On the speed detection board a piezoelectric acceleration detector is additional fixed. Dependent of
the rotor imbalance this sensor generates an analogous voltage signal which is led via a following
band-pass filter to plug connection XW1/2 to main board, where it is analysed by CPU. When the
CPU) has identified the installed rotor type, the speed dependent imbalance limitation curve from E-
PROM The analogue imbalance signal is filtered, converted into digital form and continuously
comperated with this specific limitation curve. If the actual imbalance signal will rise at any speed
beyond the limit, the error signal for imbalance load “bAL“ will be displayed and the unit slows down.
3.6 Rotor Indication

In the rotor’s bottom 4 magnets are forced, being alternately arranged in polarity and positioned to
each other to different distances on a constant circular ring (segment steps of 20°).
A Hall sensor is exactly fixed below to the sensor board. The magnets are switching a flip-flop
stage by which different pulse lengths and pulse intermissions are generated during one rotor
rotation. By this signal the CPU is able to detect up to 65 different rotors and the correct
direction of rotation, too.

3.7 Key and Indication Board

The key and indication board is mounted behind the operating panel. The connection to the main
board is done by a screened 6 polar cable by which the serial data transfer as well as the low voltage
supply of 5V is verified. The 7-segment displays, the control LED’s and the operating keys are
managed by an own controller unit (first identification No. 526) in multiplex processing.
For the programming serves EASYCONTROL II (see Operating Instructions).

3.7 Cooling plant

The Multifuge 4 KR/Cryofuge 5500i/Sorvall RC4 is equipped with a high-grade cooling plant, to meet
it’s requirements of driving power and compact design. The CFC free refrigerants R134A evaporate at
low temperatures (≤ -20°C) and absorbs through this the frictional heat from chamber produced by the
fast spinning rotor. 2 fans serve for even air flow through condenser so that the refrigerant’s
condensing temperature is kept on a low level
A specially designed heat exchanger serves for essential undercooling of the condensed refrigerant to
ensure an optimum evaporation and a perfect operation of the expansion valve. To maintain low
evaporation and resultant condensation temperatures on one hand and to support the starting
procedure of the compressor on other hand, a thermostatic expansion valve with 1.0bara MOP is
used.
The minimum achievable sample temperatures are depending on speed, rotor type and a little
on ambient temperature. After a compensating time, given by the pre-cooling or pre-heating
program as optimal result, the rotor has reached the selected set temperature within a tolerance
of ± 2K.
To reduce the power consumption during acceleration phase the compressor will not be
switched on. After reaching the set temperature and low temperature selection the compressor
will be activated. But during acceleration both fans will work.
After run is completed the fans will go on running 15 seconds to blow out the heat.
At standstill-cooling only the left fan will be activated

• Inspect the rubber mounts and if necessary replace them all at once
• Replace all sand paper washers
• All the nuts and screws at the anti-vibration mounts should be hand fasten (about 25 to 30
Nm)

5.5 Replacement of Parts of the Cooling Plant

First of all is to figure out that high ambient temperatures (ϑU >35°C), insufficient heat transfer
(e.g. polluted condenser, de-heater, air gaps) or electrical errors (like defective fans, sensor or
main board, starting relay or capacitor) can be excluded from the cooling problem (see function
diagram of cooling plant 4-10: pressure / temperature ranges are valid for continuous cooling at
max. speed, ϑU=25°C)!
Procedure for replacing defective components of the cooling cycle:
• Dismantle the casing -see 5.1.and mount pierce valves onto the service lines
• When gauging too little static pressure perform a leakage test (N2 max. 25bars)
• Discharge the refrigerant with suction device into recycling bottle
• In case of compressor (130) fault, let the oil run out into a bowl to recycle it
• Unsolder defective component(s) and replace the dryer/collector assy (135), too
• Let a little amount of dry nitrogen gas stream through the tubes when soldering to avoid scaling
on the tube’s inner surface
• Do the evacuation and refill the system with the exact amount of liquid refrigerant on the pressure
side via a new external dryer (check amount with a balance or filling cylinder, re-solder the
service lines tight after finishing work)
• Reassemble the device and perform a cooling power test run

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
• Multifuge/Cryofuge 5500i/Sorvall RC4 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
Multifuge4 KR/Cryofuge5500i/Sorvall RC4
• 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 pre-cooling program
of the centrifuge.
• 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 recalibration 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.
