 PRODUCT WARRANTY
Robinson Manufacturing warrants products manufactured by Robinson Manufacturing to
be free of defective material and workmanship for one year from the date of shipment by
Robinson Manufacturing. The liability of Robinson Manufacturing for defective equipment
during the warranty period shall be limited to the repair of such equipment or replacement
thereof without charge for parts or labor provided by Robinson Manufacturing. Robinson
Manufacturing shall be so liable only if Robinson Manufacturing is contacted in regard to
such defect immediately after its discovery
Buyer should return the defective product under warranty to Robinson Manufacturing only
after receipt of Robinson Manufacturing's specific permission to do so. This warranty does
not extend to any Robinson Manufacturing product which has been subject to misuse,
neglect, accident, modification or improper installation, or any product which has been
repaired or altered by persons not expressly approved by Robinson Manufacturing.
Robinson Manufacturing will not be liable for damages, loss or expense directly or indirectly
arising from the use of the products or for any liability from their use either separately or in
combination with other equipment or material or for any other cause.

 T he second generation of the Robinson ELECTRICALLY HEATED
centrifuge that operates from the vehicle's 12-volt system.

Centrifuge features include:

1. A circular design offering a high-efficiency unit that meets or
exceeds the RCF requirements of API and ASTM.
2. A rheostat control with an ”off” position for a slow, smooth
start and speed control.
3. Top-entry motor removal for replacement without removing
the centrifuge from its mountings.
4. A motor mount plate with a ball bearing provides stabilizing
support for the motor shaft.
5. One-inch thick mounting feet to reduce casting failures.
6. Lid, spring supported to keep it open. Designed with a hole
in the center so that the centrifuge RPM’s can be checked
with a hand held tachometer with the centrifuge lid closed.
7. A pre-heater section located in the front of the centrifuge for
easy access to the operator.
Model 820A 4 place head 8. Flip-up pre-heater covers, with positive mechanical tension to
Model 821A 2 place head keep the covers closed. Easy-to-grasp design for easy
opening.
9. Easy switch replacement with modular designed front control panel. The modular control panel can be removed simply
by removing four screws and unplugging the switches. This feature allows the following:
A. Individual switches can be replaced in the modular control panel without removing the centrifuge from the vehicle.
B. The complete control panel can be replaced without removing the centrifuge from the vehicle. The old control
panel can be serviced at a work bench.
10. Easy heater assembly replacement in the pre-heater section. The heaters are connected to the switch with quick connect
terminals. Remove two screws and lift the heater assembly out of the pre-heater pockets.
11. New switches that are IP 68 rated. The rating signifies complete protection against dust and prolonged effect of
moisture.
12. Simplified method of testing the electrical components.
13. Three independent electrical circuit design.
A. One circuit operates the motor that spins the samples.
B. A second circuit, controlled by an ”on-off” switch and thermostat, heats the centrifuge bowl. When the sample is
placed in the centrifuge at 140°F, the pre-set thermostat prevents the sample temperature from dropping below
125°F as specified by API and ASTM.
C. The third circuit is for the pre-heater section, which is comparable to a separate two-place electrical heater built into
the centrifuge. It is operated by a ”high-off-low” switch and controlled by the operator. Depending upon the oil
sample’s starting temperature, it raises the temperature of two samples to 140°F in minutes.
14. Space-saver design because a separate heater is not required.
15. A self-reset circuit breaker near the vehicle’s battery protects the
centrifuge’s circuit, as well as the vehicle.
16. When the vehicle is not running, an external contactor, wired to the
ignition, prevents the heaters from drawing energy from the battery.

Specifications: 100ml short cone, 12 VDC electrically heated,

Weight 60 lbs., 22” x 20” x 11-1/2”.
