Preinstallation
The information on these two pages describes the location requirements and the electrical services that
you must make provision for prior to installation of the centrifuge by an authorized Thermo Field
Service Engineer. The requirements may be modified, if necessary, to comply with state or local
ordinances.
Location Requirements
To permit free air circulation, the location must allow space for the physical size of the centrifuge (see
figure 5-1), 5.5 cm on the sides plus an additional 20 cm or more behind the centrifuge.
The operating temperature range is 10 to 35 C. If the room temperature rises above 35 C, the
temperature of the rotor may become too high. Avoid installing the ultracentrifuge in direct sunlight or
near any other heat-generating machine/equipment, which might reduce the ultracentrifuge cooling
capacity.

CAUTION An authorized Thermo Field Service Engineer must perform installation and
electrical modifications of the centrifuge or the centrifuge warranty will be void.
