Thermo Scientific RC 6 Plus Operation Instructions Manual page 21

Thermo Fisher Scientific
To connect to a different voltage, the centrifuge must be rewired and its plug
may also have to be replaced. Contact Thermo Fisher Scientific or your local
representative of Thermo Fisher Scientific products. For connection to a
different outlet, the power cord may also need to be replaced. Follow local
electrical codes.
WARNING
Your centrifuge must be grounded properly to avoid electrical shock hazards.
Provide an emergency switch (circuit breaker) intended for the centrifuge only,
in case of emergency or in the event of failure. It is recommended that the
switch is located outside the centrifuge room or near the exit to the room.
Note
For EMC emission the RC-6 PLUS is a Class A product. A slow reacting
circuit breaker is required because of the high startup current of the
compressor
Plug the power cord coming from the rear of the centrifuge in the terminal of the
distribution board. The green/yellow wire is a grounding wire. Your centrifuge
must be grounded properly.
Check the supply line voltage with a voltmeter and verify that the voltage
indicated on the nameplate is in agreement with the measured line voltage. If
the measured line voltage is not within 10% of the voltage specified on the
nameplate, do not connect the power cord and operate the centrifuge. Damage
to the centrifuge may result. To connect the centrifuge to a voltage other than
what is specified on the nameplate (including 3 phase), it will have to be rewired
and its power cord may have to be replaced. Contact Thermo Fisher Scientific
to have an authorized Thermo Fisher Scientific representative do the rewiring.
Single phase RC-6 PLUS Centrifuges are equipped with a three- wire power
cord with three-prong connector to fit a NEMA 6-30P receptacle or equivalent
or, on 230V 50Hz centrifuges, an IEC 60309-type three-pin receptacle (32A,
2-pole and earth). 230V 50Hz poly phase RC-6 Centrifuges are equipped with a
four-wire power cord with five-pin connector to fit an IEC 60309-type five-pin
receptacle (32 A, 3- pole, neutral and earth).
Provide an emergency switch (circuit breaker) intended for the centrifuge only to
turn off the centrifuge power in the event of failure. It is recommended to provide
that switch outside of the centrifuge room or near the exit of the centrifuge room.
