Where to install the centrifuge
The centrifuge may only be used indoors. Its location
must meet the following criteria:
•
A safety zone of 30 cm around the centrifuge must
be maintained. Hazardous materials must not be
kept within this zone during centrifugation.
•
The substructure must be stable and resonance-
free. A good support is provided by a plane labora-
tory bench or a large laboratory carriage with cast-
ers that may be locked.
•
In the area of 15 cm around the centrifuge a suffi-
cient air circulation has to be ensured.
•
The centrifuge must be protected from heat and
direct sunshine. The ultraviolet radiation may dam-
age the housing.
•
The installation site should be always well venti-
lated.
Transport and installation the centrifuge
Transport the centrifuge only in
the upright position, using the
special box provided with the in-
strument, and secure it properly.
Place the centrifuge carefully to
avoid damages.
Lift up the instrument only on the bottom
plate. Mind the weight of the centrifuge
during the transport!
