Eppendorf 5415 C

[Brigitta Martini]

TheEppendorf 5415Ddigital table top microfuge is extremely easy to use with knob control, virtually working as a turn key, walk away machine. Its small footprint andbrushless motor conveniently make it maintenance free. The 5415Dhas a maximum speed of 13,200 rpm and has a digital timer run time of up to 30minutes. The Eppendorf 5415D has a maximum capacity of up to 24 x 1.5ml tubes (or 36 x 0.5ml). With its space-saving design and user-friendly operating concept, the centrifuge is ideal for everyday routine tasks.

All of our equipment is fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.

Please confirm this rotor meets your application needs and request a different rotor, if necessary. Available rotors can be found in our Rotor Compatibility Guide.

Eppendorf 5415 is best known for its high quality construction, minimal foot prints, and high degree of flexibility. With its broad choice of high performance rotors, this low cost centrifuge can be used to perform in application areas such as routine clinical laboratory and biotechnological research.

I recently purchased a used Eppendorf 5415C centrifuge. It is supposed to have adjustable rotation speed, but it runs only at maximum speed and the RPM control knob can be turned, but it has no effect on the RPMs. I took it apart and cleaned the insides, and can't see any obvious problems with the electronic circuitry. Fuses seem fine and test good for continuity. Might anyone have an idea what I could check, or where I could find a service manual? Thanks in advance, Steve Clark

The button in the middle is a quick-run switch, used for a full-speed short runs where time is not important. Check to see if the actuator is stuck down, or if the microswitch it activates on the board is functioning properly.

Thanks a million for the manual, I had no luck finding one on the internet. I'm not very experienced with electronics, but have some science/physics background and can decipher some of it. I found no resistance between any combination of the 3 metal tabs (each other, and/or ground) on the top side of the speed control pot (I assume there for continuity testing). No change, no resistance, with the knob thru full rotation. The quick-run switch seems OK, and wasn't stuck on.

Just to clarify something first - you're getting zero ohms (dead short) across all tabs through full rotation? Are you measuring with the pot still on the board, or did you desolder and remove it? It's best to remove it first, because the short could be on the circuit board. You'll also be able to see the manufacturer's information (under the metal cover held by the nut, or on the bottom) for ordering a replacement, which will be the best way to go if you can, as it is a bit unusual. Eppendorf may not carry parts any more, but you might still be able to get them (or a close equivalent) through Digi-Key, Mouser, or Allied Electronics.

The Centrifuge 5415 D is a non-refrigerated bench-top centrifuge and the Centrifuge 5415 R is a refrigerated bench-top centrifuge. Both are used in research and routine laboratories in the biosciences, industry, clinics and chemistry.

The Eppendorf 5415 series centrifuges have been discontinued by the manufacturer and replaced by the 5424 and 5424 R models. However, a number of units are always available for sale on LabX. Rotors and accessories for the 5415 D/R are still available for sale from Eppendorf, or there is a wide selection of rotors and parts available on LabX as well.

Is there anything else I can check? I did notice that the fuse holder had positions for two fuses, but only one was occupied (I tried putting in two, but could not get everything to fit back in when two were in place).

Follow the power input line. Cable terminal, switch ( in and out) / fuse holder, noise filter, power supply input connector. If you do your measurments hot, be extremly careful. I prefer to measure it by ohm-meter. You can disconnect the power supply connector and do your resistance measurment over the complete setup.

I have 5 of these models all experiencing the same problem. I took them apart and examined. There are 2 boards. The power board located directly where the plug enters and the control board that is mounted behind the display. The larger ribbon conector attaches the control board to the power board. I noticed that if I disconnect that ribbon conector from the power board and plug the centrifuge in, I get a green and red LED that light up on the power board. I then re-connected the ribbon cable to the power board while it was hot and then the display worked and the LED lights also stayed illuminated and everything was fine. This is a temporary fix that worked on them all. The only problem is that if the power is turned off for longer than a certain amount of time, this needs to be re-done. Great caution needs to be taken so you don't kink any of the cables when putting back together, and also there is a risk of working with it while it has power applied to it. I know this is an old post, but wanted to see if there was any new information on the subject since I want a more permanent fix.

Yes, I have the instructions for disassembly. The lid must be completely removed and then with those 4 screws removed, the entire shell pulls up. I can send the pdf instructions to an email address if you provide one. Email me at jjab...@scripps.edu

Dear rhozee, I have the same problem ina two 5415d. First they displaied a Error 17. I changed the control board but the fault still occur. Have you the service manual or electrical scheme of this centrifuge?

Are you sure that the problem is the fuse? It has the two fuses allowed right and the unit turns on, but in one of them appears Error 17 in the display and in the other the display don't light and I can hear a sharp beep (from the condenser).

We have the same case on our eppendorf 5415 R,C and D. All are the same thing! When you disconnect the ribbon cable to the main board you can see the LED lights goes on and after a few second connect the ribbon cable and everything is back to normal, but everytime you turn OFF the power and turned ON the power again while the ribbon cable is connected, there is no display again and you cannot operate the unit again.

I was hoping that Eppendorf will be a little bit flexible on assissting me to the problem since we have so many of them, well their answer was that i need to send it to them so that they can assess the problem and and replace those defective parts. Which parts? well the did not give me the definite answer.

I really would like to replace the board and also want to gain experience on this problem. Well the end user is not willing to buy the main board since the brand new unit only cost for about 3,500 dollars.

Centrifuge 5415 R has the same user friendliness and all the tried and tested technical features of the non-refrigerated 5415 D, including the almost indestructible maintenance-free drive, which requires only 13 seconds to accelerate to the maximum speed of 13,200 rpm (max. rcf: 16,000 x g).

The rotor runs so smoothly that particles that have already been pelleted are not unintentionally resuspended. Centrifuge 5415 R enables rapid and reliable refrigerated centrifugation in a temperature range between 0 C and 40 C. Temperature-sensitive samples are maintained safely at 4 C, even at maximum speed. In the stand-by mode, the centrifuge then can be set to the desired temperature. With the aid of the Fast Cool function, refreshing 4 C can be attained within a mere 16 minutes. One undisputed innovation on Centrifuge 5415 R is the new motorized lid latch. Two built-in gripper arms close

the newly designed lid automatically.

The Eppendorf 5415C table top microfuge with analog control has been a work horse in the world of microfuges for over a decade. This quiet instrument with small footprint in the lab reaches a maximum speed of 14,000 rpm and 16,000g (RCF) in 10 seconds. Built-in timer with micro processing control gives lab technicians the ease and comfort of walk away technology. The 5415C is ideal for labs working with 1.5ml tubes. This microfuge does have some cosmetic blemishes but is in excellent working condition and comes with a fixed angle rotor.

The Eppendorf 5415C is a compact, quiet running microcentrifugal system, intended for use in research laboratories.
