c. Prerun Checks
1. Door
a. With the door open, the centrifuge should not start.
b. With the door down but not latched, the centrifuge
should not start.
c. Place four pieces of paper equally spaced around the top
of the open rotor chamber door. Close and latch the
chamber door and pull outward on each piece of paper.
All should fit evenly and create a frictional drag as they
are being pulled. If door does not seal properly, check
the door seal for cracks or breaks and replace if neces-
sary.
2. Centrifuge Ground Continuity
Check that the ground lug of the electrical plug is properly
grounded and is shorted to the frame of the centrifuge.
To check ground continuity, unplug the centrifuge power
cord and attach one probe of an ohmmeter to the ground lug
on the power cord. Set the meter to its lowest resistance
scale. Touch the other probe of this ohmmeter to the chassis
of the centrifuge. The meter should show less than 0.1␣ohms.
115␣V olt receptacle: Measure either side of the line-to-the-
ground receptacle. Voltage should be 115␣V ac on one line
and 0␣V ac on the other. If no voltage is measured, the
receptacle is either not properly grounded or the power
cord and/or plug is defective.
220␣V olt receptacle: Measure either side of the line-to-ground
receptacle. Voltage should be 115␣V ac on both lines. If no
voltage is measured, the receptacle is either not properly
grounded, or the power cord and/or plug is defective.
3. Centrifuge Environment
Check that there is a minimum clearance of 10␣cm (4␣inches)
on all sides for proper air circulation and safe operation. An
ambient temperature of 35
°
C␣(95
°
F) must not be exceeded.
4. Cooling Fan
Check that it comes on with power.
5. LED Segments

W A R N I N G
Before any centrifuge is
serviced, it is extremely important that
the centrifuge and wall receptacle are
checked for ground continuity. Fail-
ure to do so could result in a serious
electrical shock.
