may ask you about the treatment for the centrifuge, rotor or the part
if the decontamination is checked and judged as insufficient by
Thermo Scientific
. It is your
responsibility to bear the cost of sterilization or decontamination.
(Chapter 4 and Chapter 5)
Unspecified repairs, remodeling or disassembly of the centrifuge that is not listed in Table 5-1
is strictly prohibited by any person other than a
Thermo
Fisher
Scientific
a
uthorized
sales/service representative. (Section 5-1)
Before changing the power voltage by manually selecting desired tapping on the internal
transformer, turn off power to the ultracentrifuge, then unplug the power cord from the wall
outlet. Changing the voltage without doing so exposes you to the possibility of electrical
shock. (Chapter 6)
Your ultracentrifuge must be grounded properly. (Chapter 6)
Do not touch the power cord with wet hands to avoid electrical shocks. (Chapter 6)
Do not hold the cord when disconnecting the power cord from the receptacle. Hold the plug
when disconnecting it. (Chapter 6)
3.Indication of CAUTION
1.When replacing the overspeed decal with a new one, be very careful not to damage the
overspeed decal and rotor body. (Section 2-2-4)
Do not place containers holding liquid in the rotor chamber, on the centrifuge, or near the
centrifuge. Liquid, if spilt, could get into the instrument and damage electrical and mechanical
components. (Section 3-1)
1. Do not press the touchscreen with a sharp-pointed object such as a ballpoint pen.
2. If abnormal sound or vibration occurs, stop the operation immediately and contact a
Thermo
Fisher
Scientific
authorized sales/service representative. (Section 3-2)
If you have selected a rotor in the Rotor Management screen, be sure to check that the
selected rotor (in the Rotor Management screen) and the rotor that is installed in the
centrifuge have an identical serial number. (The rotor serial number is also displayed in the
Rotor indicator field in the Run screen.)
If the serial number of the selected rotor differs from
the serial number of the rotor installed in the centrifuge, you cannot control total run time and
the total number of runs of both rotors. (Section 3-2-3)
Take care not to get your hands or fingers caught in the door of the centrifuge.
