Description
Name Rating Plate
Drive
The drive spindle is directly driven by a brushless, high-torque, switched-reluctance motor. The
instrument's resilient suspension minimizes disturbance of the sample during acceleration and
deceleration, and reduces damage to the drive shaft if an imbalance occurs during centrifugation.
Name Rating Plate
The name rating plate is affixed to the rear of the centrifuge. Check that the line voltage agrees with
the voltage listed on this name rating plate before connecting the centrifuge. Always mention the
model number and serial number when corresponding with Beckman Coulter regarding your
centrifuge.
Controls and Indicators

in the event of a power overload. The power switch must be turned on before the chamber door can
be opened.
