Securing the Centrifuge to a Bench

Avanti J-15 series centrifuges are certified to meet the requirements of the European CE mark. To
meet these requirements, the centrifuge can be secured to the bench using the optional
anti-rotation kit (PN C01992). This will prevent the centrifuge from moving in the unlikely event of
a rotor mishap.
Complete instructions for installing the anti-rotation kit are included with the hardware. The
instructions (publication B80291) include a full-size template to be used as a guide for drilling holes
in the bench. Refer to this document for installation instructions.

Electrical Requirements

DANGER
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, the instrument uses a three-wire electrical
cord and plug to connect it to earth-ground. Make sure that the matching wall
outlet receptacle is properly wired and earth-grounded.
• Check that the line voltage agrees with the voltage listed on the name-rating
plate affixed to the centrifuge.
• Never use a three-to-two wire plug adapter.
• Never use a two-wire extension cord or a two-wire non-grounding type of
multiple-outlet receptacle strip.
See CHAPTER 1, Specifications
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this centrifuge comes with a 2.5-m (8-ft) three-wire electrical
cord (attached to the power connector at the rear of the instrument) and plug to connect the
centrifuge to earth-ground. Power cords are supplied for select geographical areas. In cases where
the appropriate power cord is not included, an unterminated power cord is provided. A plug that
meets local electrical and safety requirements must be obtained and added to this unterminated
power cord. For some models, a country guide is included to indicate the appropriate power cord
to use.
• If there is any question about voltage, have a qualified service person measure it under load
while the drive is operating.
• To ensure safety, the centrifuge should be wired to a remote emergency switch (preferably
outside the room where the centrifuge is housed, or adjacent to the exit from that room) in
order to disconnect the centrifuge from the main power source in case of a malfunction.
