RotaChrom rCPC Operation Manual  

All Rights Reserved by RotaChrom Technology LLC

©

 

 

Clean  spills  immediately of  potentially  hazardous  substances  on  the  system.  If the  system  must  be 
decontaminated, contact RotaChrom. 

Follow your laboratory procedure for the disposal of hazardous material. 

Electric Shock 

Do not replace or service any components where you can contact hazardous parts that could cause 
electric shock. These maintenances must be performed by RotaChrom. 

Electrical Ground 

WARNING 

Never  operate  the  system  until  the  power  cord  is  connected  correctly  to  an  electrical 
ground. 

 

Use a three-pronged (grounded) power cord to connect the system to a matching three wire grounded 
outlet. A three-phase AC outlet is required with free ends supplying 

1 × 16A, with pins

 P+N+E. Line 

frequency should be 50 or 60 Hz, with line voltage of 230V +/- 5%. 

Electromagnetic Compatibility 

The system generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If the system is not installed and 
operated correctly, this energy can cause interference with other equipment. 

In addition, other equipment can radiate radio frequency energy to which the system is sensitive. If 
you suspect interference between the system and other equipment, please contact RotaChrom. 

Moving Parts 

While the system is in operation, do not touch or go close to any moving parts. Close all covers during 
operation. Failure to close covers correctly can cause injury or death. 

Liquid Waste 

Some liquid waste can require special treatment before disposal. Follow your laboratory procedure 
that corresponds the regulations of your country. 

Some substances in the chemical preparations may have different storage and disposal regulations. 
Follow your operation procedure that corresponds the regulations of your country. 

rCPC Hazards 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Only a RotaChrom representative can install the system. If the system installation needs modification, 
please contact RotaChrom. 

■ 

If the system malfunctions, power off the system completely using the main breaker located on 
the left side of the rCPC unit before any repair service. 

■ 

To confirm system performance, maintain and inspect the system periodically by replacing the 
parts according to the instructions in this guide.
