Limitations of Use
This centrifuge conforms to the IEC 1010-2-020 international
standard, which specifies particular safety requirements for laboratory
centrifuges.
According to the standard warnings, the operator must respect the
following precautions:
•
Mark a boundary area of 30 cm around the centrifuge.
•
No person or hazardous material can stay within this boundary
longer than necessary for operational reasons, while the centrifuge
is operating.
•
An emergency switch for disconnection of the mains, in case of
malfunction, has to be available and familiar to all the persons
operating the centrifuge. This switch has to be remote from the
laboratory centrifuge, preferably outside the room in which the
centrifuge is located, or adjacent to the exit from that room.
•
Moving or shifting the machine during centrifugation is dangerous.
•
Using the centrifuge with rotating equipment showing evidence of
corrosion and wear marks, manipulating and/or tampering with the
electronic and mechanical parts are dangerous operations.
•
Never try to bypass the lid lock safety while the rotor is spinning.
•
Do not try to open the lid until the display returns to the stand-by
mode.
•
Only use a correctly grounded power source.
•
Use only rotors and accessories designed for use in these
centrifuges. L
Pay special attention to the following:
•
Installation of the unit: proper ventilation, leveling of the
centrifuge, rigidity and stability of the support.
