3.1. Environmental Conditions
General conditions accepted for centrifuge
transport
and
storage
are:
- Ambient temperature -20°C to +50°C.
- Relative humidity up to 90%.
General conditions accepted for
operating
the centrifuge safely are:
- Indoor use.
- Temperature: 5 °C to 40 °C.
- Maximum relative humidity of 85%.
- Maximum altitude: 2000 m
- Installation category: II
- Polution degree: 2
3.2. Unpacking
Due to the weight of the machine, all lifting and transporting must be carried out using proper handling
equipment (i.e. fork lift trolley) that complies with current regulations, and by people having undergone the
necessary training.
Thermo strongly recommends that all operators comply with the local laws and regulations on
safety and health in the workplace.
The machine must be supported from underneath. If it has to be transported without its pallet, for
example on a staircase, professional handling assistance is required.
- Unpack the centrifuge, carefully removing any possible accessories and the material supplied for ordinary
operations and maintenance.
- Check the contents of the package using the packing list provided above.
- Keep the packaging until the centrifuge has been tested and found fully functional.
3.3. Positioning
The machine must be installed in a dust and corrosion free room.
Leave a 30 cm / 12 in. space free on each side of and behind the machine for safety reasons,
proper ventilation and maximum cooling performances.
Place the centrifuge on a bench top, which must be rigid, horizontal and sufficiently strong to support the
centrifuge’s weight and small vibrations.
