4 Safety
BEFORE OPERATING THE SYSTEM, IT IS
IMPORTANT THAT THE FOLLOWING NOTES ARE
READ TO ENSURE THAT THE IMPLICATIONS TO
THE SAFETY OF PERSONNEL OPERATING THE
SYSTEM AND FOR THE PROTECTION OF SAMPLE
INTEGRITY ARE UNDERSTOOD.
Samples in the chamber are subjected to
accelerations of up to 500G with a maximum load
capacity of 1.5 kg per swing.
The following precautions should therefore always be
observed.
4.1 Safe loading of rotor
Never exceed the maximum load capacity of 1.5 kg
per swing.
Balance pairs of sample holders that are loaded
opposite each other to within 10g (approximately).
Locate tubes correctly in tube holders.
Locate sample blocks correctly in sample swings.
Load two or four tube holders in opposite and
balanced configurations.
Distribute tubes in sample holders symmetrically.
Rotate the rotor by hand after loading and check that
all tube holders and plates are correctly located before
starting a run and before re-starting an interrupted run.
Do not load tubes or vials into sample holders other
than those types that have been approved by
Genevac Ltd.
Do not use sample holders that have not been
supplied with system without consulting Genevac
Service.
