Space and Location Requirements
1 Locate the instrument on a clean, level floor.
2 Select a location away from heat-producing laboratory equipment.
• If ambient temperature exceeds 38°C (100°F), premature component failure may result.
3 In addition to space for the centrifuge, allow a 7.7-cm (3-in.) clearance on each side of the
centrifuge and a 16-cm (6.25-in.) clearance behind the centrifuge for air circulation.
• The centrifuge must have adequate air ventilation to ensure compliance to local
requirements for vapors produced during centrifuge operation.
4 Position the centrifuge so that the air diverter, shown in Figure 1.4, touches the wall behind the
centrifuge.
a. Place the power cord to one side of the air diverter.
b. To avoid damaging the power cord when installing or moving the centrifuge, be sure to
move the cord out of the way before pushing the centrifuge towards the wall.
WARNING
Do not place the centrifuge near areas containing flammable reagents or
combustible fluids. Vapors from these materials could enter the instrument’s
air system and be ignited.
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 instructions (publication J325-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.
