WARNING
Risk of personal injury or equipment damage. Vapors from flammable reagents or
combustible fluids could enter the centrifuge air system and be ignited by the
motor. Do not place the centrifuge near areas containing flammable reagents or
combustible fluids.
The centrifuge ships in a cardboard box on a wooden pallet. For easy access, remove the top of the
box, the foam insert on top of the centrifuge, and then the upper part (sides) of the box and set them
aside. Then, with assistance, move the centrifuge from the pallet to its final position.
• Position the centrifuge on a level surface, such as a sturdy table or laboratory bench that is able
to support the weight of the centrifuge and resist vibration (see
weight).
• Make sure that all feet are fully supported on the table.
• Locate the centrifuge away from heat-producing laboratory equipment.
• Locate the centrifuge in an area with sufficient ventilation to allow for sufficient heat
dissipation.
• Check that there are adequate clearances at the sides and back of the centrifuge to ensure
sufficient air circulation:
— J-15 Centrifuge: 7.6 cm (3 in.)
— J-15R Centrifuge: 7.6 cm (3 in.)
• 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 10°C (50°F), or higher than
31°C (88°F) for the J-15, and 35°C (95°F) for the J-15R.
• Altitude should not exceed 2000 meters.
• Additional clearance is required on the left side to allow access to the power switch.
• Dimensions for the Avanti J-15 are shown in
shown in
• Relative humidity should not exceed 80% (non-condensing).
* When operating the J-15 Centrifuge, maintain a 30 cm (12 in.) clearance envelope around the centrifuge under the
following circumstances: 1) Run duration exceeds 60 minutes or 2) Ambient temperature exceeds 25°C.
