Set-up
Placement Surface
The PM5000 weighs approximately 35.2 Lbs. / 16 Kg, and will be spinning at high speeds. Select a
level, sturdy and stable surface to place the PM5000 Centrifuge unit before use.
Power Source
The ProcessMate PM5000 is a multi voltage unit with a built in power converter. The unit is capable and
will operate in the ranges of 100 – 240 VAC 50/60 HZ. Locate the power cord shipped with the unit,
plug one end into the unit and the other to a suitable power source. Make sure the ground pin on the
power cord is connected to ground on the power source.

Preparation
Before using this centrifuge, the following steps should be checked to make sure the PM5000 is ready
and safe for use in a production setting：
1. Plug power cord in a grounded outlet.
2. Turn Power Switch to ON position.
The power lamp ON/OFF, Speed Indicator and Timer must be illuminated.
3. Press LID OPEN switch then push Lid Release knob on the right hand of the housing to place
contents into the centrifuge.
4. Inspect and check if rotor is screwed on securely.
5. Shut lid and set timer by pressing the corresponding keypads “▲” “▲” to set centrifuge spinning
time. Timer is adjustable from 0 – 99 minutes, and timer will count down displaying remaining time
left of spin cycle.
6. Adjust the RPM by turning the control knob. Once the start button is presses, the RPM may not be
altered or changed unless the spin cycle has timed out or has been reset.
Warning:
The maximum RPM depends on the rotor, size of Syringe barrels and weight of contents.
7. Press STOP switch to verify that the spin cycle may be canceled.
8. While in spin cycle, press LID OPEN key and Lid release button to see if the lid can be opened
while in operation. The safety feature on the PM5000 should not allow you to open the lid until the
rotor comes to a complete stop.
9. Switch off the power to verify that power can be shut off in case of emergency.
If the above procedures work as detailed, the centrifuge is operating as designed and ready for
production use.
Note:
IF the ERROR sign of Err-5 is displayed on screen at any time, the cause is usually due to an
“imbalance rotor”. Check contents within the centrifuge and make sure the syringe barrels are equally
loaded and filled.

Operation
The unit incorporates many safety features to protect and minimize users the risk of personal injury.
Follow the following operational steps to safely operate PM5000 Centrifuge unit.
1.
Turn On Power
Locate the front control panel. Turn the power switch on the PM5000 to the “On” position. The
switch will light up green when the unit is powered up.
2.
Open Lid
To open lid, press Green “LID OPEN” button. When you hear a “click” sound, proceed to push on the
Lid Release knob located on the right hand side of the PM5000 Centrifuge Cabinet. You will not hear
a “clicking” sound and will not be able to depress the Lid Release knob if;
a. The centrifuge is still in use and / or the rotor is still spinning.
b. If there is no power to the unit.
3.
Placing syringe barrel
The PM5000 Centrifuge can accommodate up to 4 syringe barrels. Before placing syringes into the
centrifuge, make sure the syringes are fill to the same levels of fluid and use correct size sleeves to
secure the barrels onto the rotor. Make sure the centrifuge is either filled with 2 or 4 syringes before
operating. Failure to fill to same levels, spinning without the correct sleeves or placing odd numbers
of syringes i.e. 1 or 3 syringes will result in damage to syringes and unbalanced spin causing the
unit to go into an error mode.
4.
Shut Lid
Shut Lid and make sure the barrels are protruding and coming in contact with the inner side of the lid.
Set speed – Using the speed regulator knob set the speed on speed indicator display to desired
speed. The speed cannot be adjusted or altered once the unit is in operation. To change speed,
simply press the Red “stop” button, allow the rotor to come to a complete stop, reset speed, reset
time and restart spin.
Important Note:
If set RPM exceed the maximum speed for rotor & contents the ERROR Err-8 will display and unit
will shut down the spin cycle. Remove or reduce weight of contents, open and shut Lid, and
re-initiate spin cycle.
