The Economy Controller is preset for operation upon arrival. The motor circuit requires a 20 amp 240 volt input. The auxiliary circuit is 15 amps at 120 volts. The cycle time may be adjusted by using the up and down keys.
The Deluxe Controller is preset for operation upon arrival. The only adjustments that may be required are the Total Run Time or the Temperature. These values are changed by using the up and down keys on the front of the device. To retain a new set temperature in memory, press the set key on the temperature controller. Units with 120 volt single heaters, the temperature is set for 65.6 °C or 150 °F. Units with 240 volt dual heaters are set for 100 °C or 212 °F.
See Variable Speed Unit section below for G-force vs Hz and additional information.
The Electric Ball Valve is wired into the power input leads inside the motor box for 230-240 volt circuits. For variable speed: Black = (L1 Red = L2). For single phase: (black and yellow = L1, Red white and blue = L2) When the motor is energized, the ball valve will open. When the motor power is off, the ball valve will close. For 230/460 volt controllers, the valve plugs into the connector located on the face of the controller. The electric ball valve is installed BEFORE the heater. Use no valve after the heater. The heater output must remain open to prevent pressure rise in the unit.
The heater should be filled with oil before it is energized. The oil cools the element and prevents the oil from flowing over and burning on a hot element. Typical flow rate is 15 gallons per hour or 1 quart per minute. This flow may be varied as required after the unit is running and up to temperature. Add an inline ball valve BEFORE the heater to adjust the flow rate. The element is rated to run dry without damage had has a lifetime replacement warranty.
On deluxe units, set the TOTAL RUN TIME so that the centrifuge stops before the oil supply runs out to prevent the heater from running dry. Dry running will not damage the lifetime warranty heater element.
The motor circuit requires 20 amp at 220-240 volt.
The single heater circuit requires 15 amp at 120 volt.
The dual heater circuit requires 15 amp at 240 volt.
To configure the variable speed unit for 1-phase input, use black and red power inputs.
To configure the variable speed unit for 3-phase input, use black, white and red power inputs.
Start and Stop Centrifuge Using Toggle switch above the green variable speed potentiometer.
