1 Introduction
• This repair instruction is only intended for specialized staff authorized by HETTICH.
Interventions and modifications at centrifuges, which have been conducted
by persons not authorized by HETTICH, are at their own risk and entail the
loss off all guarantee and liability claims. In such an event any guarantee
claim or liability claim against the HETTICH expire.

• The aim of these repair instructions is to enable any errors to be located and
eliminated quickly.
There should be no interventions at, or replacement of components on the
individual electronics boards. Experience shows that if an intervention is not
performed in accordance with regulations, or if a component is installed
whose specification is not identical to that of the original component, then the
error (defect) which has occurred will be compounded by further damage. In
such an event any guarantee claim or liability claim against the HETTICH
ceases to exist.
Any electronics boards which are not repaired in accordance with the
regulations cannot be acknowledged as being replacement spare parts.

• Information about the operation of the centrifuge please see operating instructions.
• We reserve all rights for these technical documents.
• Technical alterations reserved.

4/41
2 Description of the centrifuge
These microprocessor controlled centrifuges mainly consist of the following electrical
components:
• Operating panel (A2)
• Electronics MIKRO 200 (A1)
• Motor with speed sensor (B2.1) and imbalance sensor (B2.2)
• Brake resistor (R1)
• Motor-driven lid lock (A3)
• Cooling system

2.1 Operating panel (A2)

The buttons, the LCD display, the status LEDs and the acoustic beeper are located on
the operating panel.
The operating panel is connected with the Electronics MIKRO 200 (A1) via a 16-pole flat
ribbon cable.

2.2 Electronics MIKRO 200 (A1)

There are 2 microprocessors on the electronics MIKRO 200 . Both processors (control-
and drive-processor) are communicating internal via a serial interface.
The control-processor carries out the following tasks:
• Reading in the buttons and controlling the LCD display and the LEDs.
• Saving of 4 run programs.
• Evaluating the errors recognized by the frequency converter.
• Voltage supply and evaluation of the speed sensor (tacho).
• Voltage supply and evaluation of the imbalance sensor.
• Controlling the motor-driven lid lock.
• Voltage supply 15 V DC and 5 V DC for the operating panel.
• Evaluating the temperature sensors and controlling the cooling.
• Evaluating the overtemperature switch in the centrifuge chamber.
• Status indication with an orange respectively a red LED:
All functions are all right: the orange resp. red LED lights up
Case of error: the orange resp. red LED flashes
Control-processor does not clock: the orange resp. red LED does not light up

The frequency converter carries out the following tasks:

• Generating the motor current supply
(three-phase current with variable frequency and voltage)
Functional description: The supply voltage is rectified, smoothened and
chopped into a pulse width pattern in three bridge
elements with a microprocessor.
• Monitoring the motor current.
• Evaluating the overtemperature switch in the motor.
• The braking chopper transfers the electrical energy produced during braking, in the
230 V version from a voltage of approx. 400 Volt and in the 115 V version from a
voltage of approx. 209 Volt, to the brake resistor in a controlled manner.

5/41
• Status indication with a green LED:
Standby: the green LED lights up
Centrifugation run: the green LED lights up
Case of error: the green LED flashes
If the drive processor detects an error, it switches off the motor.

2.3 Special features

• Multiprocessor concept:
The control- and the drive-processor monitoring one another. If one processor stops
working, the other processor switches off the drive.
• Interface concept:
The information transmission is monitored with an additional check sum.
• Hardware concept:
All safety related switches are break contacts. This also ensures that loose contacts
and cable rupture can be detected.

2.4 Brake resistor (R1)

• An overtemperature fuse protects the brake resistor against fire. If the braking
chopper has a short circuit, the brake resistor becomes hot due to the high current,
and the overtemperature fuse disconnects the connecting line to the brake resistor.

2.5 Motor / tacho system

• The motor is a three-phase asynchronous motor with two pairs of poles.
• The speed sensor and the imbalance sensor are together in one housing. This
housing is screwed to the bottom of the motor. The speed signal (1 pulse per
revolution) will be triggered by a magnet fixed at the motor axle.
• The electronics MIKRO 200 (A1) monitors and regulates the speed.
− Double safety: The drive-processor has been programmed in such a way that it
switches off the drive when the speed is higher than the permis-
sible rotor speed. Then error message "FU/CCI-ERROR 84" will
be displayed (only from FU-programme version 0.17).
• The electronics MIKRO 200 (A1) monitors the rotor standstill.

2.6 Imbalance sensor (B2.2)

• An electronic sensor monitors the imbalance.
• The speed sensor and the imbalance sensor are together in one housing, screwed
to the bottom of the motor.
• Imbalance is detected only in running mode (starting, centrifuging and braking).
• If impermissible imbalance is detected, the drive switches off and the rotor slows
down braked until it stops.

6/41
2.7 Motor-driven lid lock
• The lid can be opened only if the electronics MIKRO 200 (A1) has detected rotor
standstill.
• By pressing the key STOP / OPEN the lid opens motor-driven. With centrifuges without
cooling the lid opens automatically when the rotor has standstill.
• The motor locks the lid only if both lid brackets have actuated both switches in the lid
lock and the rotor has standstill.
• The centrifuge can only be started when the lid is closed.

2.8 Cooling system

The cooling system is a hermetical system. Bei der Kühlung handelt es sich um ein
vollhermetisches System.
The cooling system consists of the following components:
• Compressor
• Cooling tubes around the centrifuge chamber (evaporator)
• Condenser
• Dryer
• Fan
• Temperature sensor T1 (B1) and overtemperature switch in the centrifuge chamber
• Temperature sensor T3 (B3) on the condenser
In the housing of the temperature sensor T1 also the overtemperature switch is
included. With centrifuges with cooling the drive switches off, when the temperature is
> 60°C.
The refrigerant will be cooled down with a fan. The speed of the fan is controlled
dependent to the temperature at the condenser.
When opening the lid of the centrifuge, the cooling system switches off. The cooling
system is controlled dependent to the speed of the rotor.

2.9 Safety devices

Mains input ⇒ Mains fuses with mains switch
Over voltage protection ⇒ on electronics MIKRO 200 (A1)
and radio interference
suppression filter
Frequency converter ⇒ on electronics MIKRO 200 (A1), electrically protected
