For your safety

Safety instructions in this manual

This symbol denotes potential hazards

to persons.

This symbol denotes potential damage

to the centrifuge or parts in its imme-

diate surroundings.

Warning: hot surfaces

General danger area

Before switching on the centrifuge please

read this manual!

General hints are marked with this

symbol.

IEC centrifuges are manufactured according to current

technical standards and regulations. Nonetheless,

centrifuges may pose danger to individuals and sur-

rounding if

•they are not used as designed

•they are operated by untrained personnel

•their design is improperly changed

•the safety instructions are not followed

Therefore, personnel involved with op-

eration and maintenance of the centri-

fuge must read and follow the safety

instructions.

In addition, the pertinent regulations for prevention of

accidents must be strictly followed.

This manual is an integral part of the centrifuge as-

sembly and must be kept close at hand at all times.

When damages to the power cord or at

casing are noticed the centrifuge must

be set out of operation!

For your safety

Proper use

The centrifuge is designed to separate liquid-

suspended materials having different densities and

particle size (maximum sample density is 1.2 g/cm³ at

maximum speed).

Improper use

During a run, a safety zone of 30 cm around the centri-

fuge must be maintained where neither persons nor

hazardous materials may be present.

The centrifuge may cause harm to its user or other

persons or may damage goods if safety measures are

not followed:

Centrifuging hazardous materials

•The centrifuge is neither made inert, nor is it explo-

sion-proof. Therefore never use the centrifuge in an

explosion-prone environment.

•Do not centrifuge explosive or flammable sub-

stances. The same holds for substances prone to

react violently with each other.

•Do not centrifuge toxic or radioactive substances or

pathogenic micro-organisms without suitable safety

systems.

If microbiological samples of risk group II (accord-

ing to "Laboratory Bio-safety Manual" of WHO) are

being centrifuged, aerosol-tight bio-seals have to be

used.

For materials in a higher risk group, more than one

precaution is required.

•Should toxins or pathogenic substances enter the

centrifuge or its parts, you must perform appropri-

ate procedures for disinfection (see "Maintenance

and care – Disinfection").

•Strongly corrosive substances that may cause

damage to materials and reduce the mechanical

strength of the rotor may be centrifuged only inside

protective tubes.

Handling the centrifuge

•Use only original accessories for the centrifuge.

The only exceptions are common glass or plastic

centrifuge tubes if they are approved for the rotor

speed and RCF values.

•Never use the centrifuge unless the rotor is properly

installed.

•You may use the centrifuge only with a properly

loaded rotor. You must not overload the rotor.

•Strictly follow the rules and regulations for cleaning

and disinfection.

•If the rotor or the rotor lid shows signs of corrosion

or wear, you must stop using it.

For your safety

•Never open the lid manually if the rotor is still turn-

ing.

•You may use the emergency lid release only in

case of emergency, e.g. during an interruption of

power supply

(see chapter "Troubleshooting").

•Never use the centrifuge with an opened lid.

•Never use the centrifuge if the front panel has been

partially or totally removed.

•Changes in mechanical or electrical components of

the centrifuge may only be carried out by individu-

als authorized by Thermo Electron.

Conformity to current standards

IEC centrifuges are manufactured and tested accord-

ing to the following standards and regulations

- for all voltages

•IEC 61010-1

IEC 61010-2-020

- for 120 V only

•

- for 230 V only

•

Please get acquainted with the details of the test stan-

dards from the technical data
