2. INSTALLATION
Remove the centrifuge from its packaging and place it on a rigid, level surface.
DO NOT LIFT THE CENTRIFUGE BY IT'S LID. The location of the keyboard,
display, air inlet, lid lock access hole, and the release handle are shown in
Figure 1 on page 8. The location of the serial number label, power switch and
fuses are shown in Figure 2 on the same page.
IMPORTANT: THE ROTOR MUST NOT BE FITTED WHEN MOVING THE
CENTRIFUGE OR DURING TRANSIT.
Check that the available power supply corresponds to that stated on the rating
plate located at the rear of the instrument.
If the restraint kit (see “Centrifuge restraint”) is not used to secure the centrifuge
on the bench then, it is the recommendation of BS EN61010-2-020 that a
clearance of 300 mm is allowed around the base of the centrifuge when in the
final operating position.
NOTE: Laboratory management procedures should require that no person or
any hazardous materials are within a 300mm boundary while the centrifuge is
operating.

Note: 75mm if solid surface (i.e. wall) otherwise 300mm
