Unpacking the centrifuge
•
Lift the carton upward and remove the padding.
•
Do not lift by the front panel.
Observe the weight of the centrifuge, refer to chapter "Technical specifications".
With a suitable number of helpers, hold the centrifuge on both sides and lift down from the pallet.

Initial operation
•
According to the laboratory instrument standards EN / IEC 61010-2-020 an emergency switch to separate power
supply in the event of a failure must be installed in the building electrical system.
This switch has to be placed remote from the centrifuge, preferred outside of the room in which the centrifuge is
installed or near by the exit of this room.
•
Position the centrifuge in a stable and level manner in a suitable place. During set-up, the required safety
margin of 300 mm around the centrifuge is to be kept according to EN / IEC 61010-2-020.
When the centrifuge is running, according to EN / IEC 61010-2-020, no persons, dangerous
substances or objects may be within the safety margin of 300 mm around the centrifuge.
If the centrifuge will be built into another machine or will be integrated in a system the
manufacturer of the complete system is responsible for its security.
•
Do not place any object in front of the ventiduct.
Keep a ventilation area of 300 mm around the ventiduct.
•
Centrifuge with RS232 interface:
Connect the RS232 centrifuge interface with an RS232 connecting cable (included in the scope of delivery for
certain models) to the PC.
Centrifuge with optical interface:
Connect the optical centrifuge interface with a light-conducting cable (included in the scope of delivery for certain
models) to the PC.
•
Check whether the mains voltage tallies with the statement on the type plate.
•
Connect the centrifuge with the connection cable to a standard mains socket. For connection ratings refer to
Chapter "Technical specifications".
•
Switch on the mains switch (switch position "Ι"). The LEDs in the keys are blinking.
The following displays appear one after the other:
1. The centrifuge model
2. The program version
3. The rotorcode (rotor), the maximum rotor speed (Nmax) and the preset centrifuging radius (R) of the last rotor
that was recognized by rotor recognition.
