Centrifuge Assembly
Centrifuge
1. Remove the front and rear panels.
2. Remove the (4) #8 hex centrifuge mounting screws securing the
centrifuge base to the centrifuge mounting fluid drain assembly.
3. Disconnect the connectors from the centrifuge distribution PCB.
4. Disconnect the ground wire (by removing the Phillips head screw)
leading to the ground bus and harness from the centrifuge well.
5. Disconnect J3 from the centrifuge motor controller PCB.
6. Loosen the (2) Phillips head screws securing the strap to the rear plate.
7. Carefully lift the centrifuge up and away from the top deck of the cabinet.
Centrifuge Reassembly
1. The centrifuge must be centered in the top deck cavity to prevent contact
of the centrifuge with the cabinet during operation. If true centering
cannot be achieved for any reason, ensure that the centrifuge is at least
1/16” from the cabinet, measured at four points separated by 90
degrees.
2. The centrifuge location is adjusted by leaving the (4) centrifuge mounting
screws loose and manipulating the centrifuge on the centrifuge mounting
fluid drain assembly.
3. If the centrifuge location cannot be centered, remove the centrifuge from
the cabinet, remove the waste bag mounting tray, and remove the (4)
centrifuge mounting fluid drain assembly mounting screws, located under
the cabinet. Remove the fluid drain assembly from the cabinet by
breaking the RTV or silicone lubricant seal.
4. Clean all dried RTV from the centrifuge mounting fluid drain assembly
and the cabinet.
5. Apply a thin layer of silicone lubricant on the base of the centrifuge
mounting fluid drain assembly, ensuring that no lubricant enters the
mount or cabinet drain holes when the mount is installed in the cabinet.
6. Install the centrifuge mounting fluid drain assembly, leaving the four
mounting screws loose.
7. Install the centrifuge on the centrifuge mount, leaving the four mounting
screws loose.
8. Adjust the centrifuge location, then tighten all eight screws and recheck
the location of centrifuge.
9. Replace the waste bag mounting tray.
