Relocation - Thermo Scientific Sorvall RC6 Plus Instruction Manual

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 RC6 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 RC6 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.

Relocation

Installation or relocation of your centrifuge must be done by an authorized authorized Thermo Fisher
Scientific representative. Contact Thermo Fisher Scientific or your local representative of Thermo
Fisher Scientific products.
Before relocating the centrifuge, unplug the centrifuge and loosen the locking nuts. Lower the casters
to the floor by turning the leveling bolts with a wrench. Raise the leveling bolts enough to clear the
floor and relocate the centrifuge. After relocation, the centrifuge must be installed and leveled again.

CAUTION Remove the rotor from the rotor chamber before relocating the centrifuge.
Be careful not to tip over the unit when moving on uneven or slanted floors.
