Installation Procedures

3
Never use a two-wire extension cord or a two-wire non-grounding type of multiple-outlet
receptacle strip.

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 ultracentrifuge should be wired to a remote emergency switch (preferably
outside the room where the ultracentrifuge is housed, or adjacent to the exit from that room), in
order to disconnect the ultracentrifuge from the main power source in case of a malfunction.
Installation Procedures
Installation of the ultracentrifuge requires the following steps—in order:
1. installing the filter
2. checking the time-delay setting
3. leveling the instrument, and
4. installing the brake pin and stator pad
After installation, perform a trial run to ensure proper operation.

Filter Installation

If the air source is especially wet or oily, install a second filter as a prefilter. A second filter will cause
an additional pressure drop of approximately 5 psig (35 kPa) in the air pressure that reaches the
instrument.
Make sure the required operating air pressure is obtainable at the instrument
