INSTALLATION
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
Do not use an extension cord.
Ambient Temperature and Humidity
Operate the system in a room with a temperature between 16° and 32°C (60° and 90°F) and
humidity no higher than 95% without condensation.
Ventilation
Arrange for the ventilation fan on the rear panel to be at least 12 cm (5 in.) from any walls or
obstructions that could interfere with the flow of air.
Air Conditioning
Compensate for system-generated heat in air-conditioned environments with an additional
5,000 Btus.
Drainage
The maximum waste line length is 3.7 m (12 ft).
The waste line supplied with the instrument can be connected to either:
r
A drain less than 76 cm (30 in.) above the floor.
r
A waste container with a recommended minimum capacity of 20 L (5 gal.).
If you use an open drain, mechanically secure the waste tube into the drain so the tube cannot
accidentally come out of the drain. This prevents spillage.
CAUTION Either of these two hazards can occur if you use an extension cord:
r
Introduction of electrical interference can occur and cause instrument performance problems
(frequent lock ups and resets), or
r
Overheating, melting, and burning of the extension cord can occur.
Plug the primary power cable directly into the electrical outlet. Position the system close enough to an
electrical outlet so you do not need to use an extension cord.
CAUTION Possible damage can occur if you use a power strip that is not compatible with your instrument.
If you plan to use a power strip other than the one recommended by Beckman Coulter, call your Beckman
Coulter Representative to be sure that your power strip is compatible with your instrument.
CAUTION Incomplete drainage and overflow into the vacuum system can occur if the waste line is longer
than the recommended length. Contact your Beckman Coulter Representative if you need to increase the
length of the waste line supplied with the system
WARNING Biohazardous contamination can occur from contact with the waste container and its associated
tubing if not handled with care. Avoid skin contact. Clean up spills immediately. Dispose of the contents of
the waste container in accordance with local environmental regulations and with acceptable laboratory
procedures.
