Installing the Centrifuge
WARNING
Do not place the centrifuge near areas containing flammable reagents or
combustible fluids. Vapors from these materials could enter the centrifuge's
air system and be ignited by the motor. No hazardous materials should be handled
or stored within the 30-cm (1-ft) boundary surrounding the centrifuge. Maintain a
7.6-cm (3-in.) clearance envelope around the centrifuge while it is running.
No persons should be within this clearance envelope while the centrifuge is
operating, except to adjust centrifuge controls, if necessary.
1
Carefully remove the centrifuge and accessories from the shipping container.
a. Save the container and packing materials for possible future relocation or storage.
2
Select a location away from heat-producing laboratory equipment and direct sunlight, with
sufficient ventilation to allow for heat dissipation.
3
Position the centrifuge on a level surface, such as a sturdy table or laboratory bench that can
support the weight of the centrifuge (5.4 kg/11.9 lb) and resist vibration.
4
In addition to space for the centrifuge itself (see
clearances at the sides and back of the centrifuge to ensure sufficient air circulation.
• The centrifuge must have adequate air ventilation to ensure compliance to local
requirements for vapors produced during operation.
Ambient temperatures during operation should not be lower than 4°C (39°F) or higher than 40°C
(104°F). Relative humidity should not exceed 80% (noncondensing).
NOTE
During transport between areas with varying temperatures, condensation may occur inside the
centrifuge. Allow sufficient drying time before running the centrifuge.
