WARNING
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this
equipment uses a three-wire or five-wire elec-
trical cord and plug to connect the centrifuge
to earth-ground. To preserve this safety
feature, make sure that the matching wall
outlet receptacle is properly wired and earth-
grounded. Check that the line voltage agrees
with the voltage listed on the name rating
rating plate affixed to the centrifuge.
• Never use a three-to-two wire plug adapter.
• Never use a two-wire extension cord or a two-wire non-grounding
type of multiple-outlet receptacle strip.
• If there is any question about voltage, have a qualified service
person measure it under load while the drive is operating.
To ensure safety the centrifuge should be wired to a remote emer-
gency switch in order to disconnect the centrifuge from the main
power source in case of a malfunction.
SECURING THE CENTRIFUGE TO THE FLOOR
Avanti J series centrifuges are certified to meet the requirements of
the European CE mark. To meet these requirements, the centrifuge
must be secured to the floor using the anchoring hardware shipped
with the instrument. This will prevent the centrifuge from moving in
the unlikely event of a rotor mishap.
Complete instructions for installing the anchoring kit are packaged
with the hardware, which is shipped with the centrifuge. The instruc-
tions (publication SJ-TB-003) include a full-size template to be used
as a guide for drilling holes in the floor. Refer to this document for
additional installation instructions.

NOTE
Beckman Coulter representatives are not
equipped to drill holes in your floor. The
holes must be drilled before your scheduled
installation.
