Appendix A: Preinstallation Requirements; Introduction; Space Requirements - Beckman Coulter Optima L-XP Instructions For Use Manual

Introduction

NOTE
Do not attempt to install or turn on the power to the Optima L-XP. Its purchase price includes
installation by Beckman Coulter personnel. Installation by anyone other than authorized
Beckman Coulter personnel invalidates any warranty covering the instrument.
Preinstallation requirements may have been sent prior to shipment of the instrument. They are
also available at www.beckmancoulter.com. (Copies may also be attached to the outside of the
shipping container.) The following information is provided in case the Optima L-XP must be
relocated. Contact Beckman Coulter Field Service to adjust and level the instrument if it must be
moved. (The pads on each leveling leg are designed to prevent possible rotation of the instrument
in the case of a rotor mishap.)

Space Requirements

WARNING
Do not place the ultracentrifuge near areas containing flammable reagents or
combustible fluids. Vapors from these materials could enter the ultracentrifuge
air system and be ignited by the motor. Maintain a 30-cm (1-ft) clearance envelope
around the ultracentrifuge while it is running. No persons or any hazardous
materials should be within this clearance boundary while the ultracentrifuge is
operating except to change operating controls, if required.
Locate the ultracentrifuge in a clean, safe, uncluttered environment. Provide a 5.1-cm (2-in.)
clearance on each side of the instrument, as the feet extend about 5.1 cm (2 in.) beyond the
instrument (see
the instrument in the event of a rotor mishap.) A 15.2-cm (6-in.) clearance is required at the rear of
the instrument for servicing and to ensure sufficient air ventilation. The ultracentrifuge must have
adequate air ventilation to ensure compliance to local requirements for vapors produced during
operation.
The Mains (power) plug is the disconnect device and must remain easily accessible. Position the
instrument so that it is easy to remove the Mains (power) plug from the outlet receptacle.
