2.2 Selecting the Location
NOTE!
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:
•
Move the centrifuge on its intended location. Unscrew the lock nut (1) with an open-ended spanner AF
M16 (see Figure 10). Turn the appliance feet (2) down with an open-ended spanner AF M13 until they
are firmly on the floor surface. Now the centrifuge has to be leveled horizontally, using the four appliance
feet. Therefore, mount the associated rotor on the motor shaft and place a spirit level on it. After leveling
the appliance feet, tighten the lock nut. The rollers should not touch the ground anymore (only
FC5917RF, FC5917RF Short models)
•
Check whether the power supply corresponds with the one specified on the manufacturer's rating label, which
is located on the rear panel.
•
For FC5714, FC5718, FC5816 the power line should be protected by a 10 A rating circuit breaker (type K).
•
For FC5718R, FC5816R, FC5916, FC5916R the power line should be protected by a 16 A rating circuit
breaker (type K).
•
For FC5917RF, FC5917RF Short the power connection for the centrifuge requires a separate one-site
protection 15 A. 16 A or 20 A (Type K).
•
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.
•
Connect the centrifuge with the mains. (The socket for the power cord must be easy to reach for disconnection)
•
Turn the instrument on using the mains power switch.
•
Open the lid by using the Door Open button.
•
Remove the transport securing device of the motor.
