Space and Location Requirements
WARNING
Do not place the ultracentrifuge near areas containing flammable reagents or
combustible fluids. Vapors from these materials could enter the ultracentrifuge
air system and be ignited by the motor. Maintain a 30 cm (1 ft) clearance envelope
around the ultracentrifuge while it is running. No persons or any hazardous
materials should be within this clearance boundary while the ultracentrifuge is
operating except to change operating controls, if required.
• Select a location away from heat-producing laboratory equipment, with sufficient ventilation
to allow for heat dissipation.
• Position the ultracentrifuge on a level surface, such as a sturdy table or laboratory bench,
within 4 m (12 ft) of a supply of clean, compressed air at about 42 psig (290 kPa), but not over
75 psig (517 kPa).
• In addition to space for the ultracentrifuge itself, allow 7.6 cm (3 in.) clearances at the sides and
back of the ultracentrifuge to ensure sufficient air circulation.

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this ultracentrifuge uses a three-wire electrical cord and plug
to connect the ultracentrifuge to earth-ground. (Contact your local Beckman Coulter office for
specific information regarding local requirements.) To preserve this safety feature:
1
Make sure that the matching wall outlet receptacle is properly wired and earth-grounded.
a. Check that the line voltage agrees with the voltage listed on the name rating plate affixed
to the ultracentrifuge.
b. Then plug in both ends of the ultracentrifuge power cord.
2
Never use a three-to-two wire plug adapter.
