Selecting the Location

Attention!
Avoid excessive vibrations, heat sources, air current, or rapid temperature changes.
The centrifuge should be installed on an even, solid and level surface, if possible on a laboratory cabinet / table

or some other solid vibration free surface.
 During centrifugation, the centrifuge must be placed in a way, that there is a minimum space of 30 cm on each
side of the unit according to the standards EN 61010-2-020.
 Do not place the centrifuge next to a window or a heater, where it could be exposed to excessive heat, as the
performance of the unit is based on an ambient temperature of 23°C.
2.3 Installation
Follow these steps:
 Check whether the power supply corresponds with the one specified on the manufacturer's rating label, which
is located on the rear panel.
 The line voltage circuit breaker is max. 10 A (type K) slow release for commonly used instruments.
 In case of emergency, there must be an emergency switch off installed outside the room in order to disconnect
the power supply from the unit.
 Connect the centrifuge to a grounded power receptacle.
