RC3 BP™ Installation
Environment
Ambient air temperature at the centrifuge air inlets must be be-
tween 15
°
C to 38
°
C (59
°
F to 100
°
F), with relative humidity
≤
90%, for
the centrifuge to operate. Ideal ambient temperature is between
20
°
C to 30
°
C (68
°
F to 86
°
F), therefore, avoid areas near heat sources
(for example, heating pipes and radiators). Also, avoid close group-
ing of centrifuges or other heat-producing laboratory equipment.
Generally, the cooler the location, the better the operating condi-
tions will be for the centrifuge.
The centrifuge is intended for use in 1) a Pollution Degree 2 Envi-
ronment, 2) an installation category II supply circuit, and 3) at a
maximum altitude of 2000 meters.
