Connect the power cord to the power inlet on the right side of
the unit and plug it into the appropriate outlet. Turn on the
main power switch located on the front of the unit in the lower
right to energize the unit. The safety lid locking mechanism on
the SPD210 will automatically disengage. Do not attempt to
open the lid unless the unit is plugged in.
CAUTION: Use appropriate Thermo Fisher
Scientific designed rotors recommended for the
product.
Note: The SPD210 Concentrator is an important component
in a complete concentration system that should also include a
refrigerated vapor trap and a vacuum pump along with other

Rotor installation. Open the lid of the rotor chamber.
Visually align the pin on the drive shaft with the groove on the
bottom of the rotor. Carefully lower the rotor onto the drive
shaft. Rotate the rotor by hand to ensure alignment of the pin
with the groove. Secure the assembly by screwing the
retaining knob into the drive shaft above the rotor. Tighten it
firmly but not excessively.
CAUTION: Load the rotor and close the lid.
Always balance rotor loads. An imbalanced rotor
causes vibration that will damage the system's
bearings and equipment. Load the rotor
symmetrically. There need not be a tube in each
holder, but the load must be evenly distributed.
When using a rotor with aluminum tube holders,
insert all the tube holders.
