WARNING
The RC-6 PLUS Centrifuge weighs 350 kg (772 lb.). Take the necessary
precautions when installing and moving the centrifuge to avoid personal injury
and/or damage to the centrifuge
The location for the centrifuge must meet these requirements:
• A flat, vibration-free concrete floor. Avoid installing on a carpeted floor.
• Maximum altitude of 2000 meters.
• The unit is intended for indoor use only. Ambient air temperature at the
centrifuge air inlets must be between 2°C to 40°C with maximum relative
humidity of 80% at 31°C, linearly decreasing to 50% at 40°C. If the ambient
air temperature is above 25°C, the centrifuge may not maintain low
temperatures at high speeds, therefore, avoid areas near heat sources (for
example, direct sunlight, heating pipes and radiators). Also, avoid close
grouping of centrifuges or other heat-producing laboratory equipment.
• Maintain a 30-cm clearance around the centrifuge. Do not store any
substances in the clearance envelope.
Note
The RC-6 PLUS is a Class A product and is not intended for home use. If
used in a domestic environment you must contact your local authorities
for authorization.
