Warranty & Service - Thermo IEC Medilite Vereinfachte Bedienungsanleitung

SIMPLIFIED OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
The Thermo IEC Medilite is a portable benchtop centrifuge designed for use in the physician's office, the small clinical
laboratory, and in the educational field, to perform separations by centrifugal force, and not for any other purpose.
Note: Typical sound level emissions do not exceed 70 dB(A)
INSTALLATION
The location of the centrifuge must be clean and dry to allow the suction cup feet to properly and safely secure the centri-
fuge. The location must be level and rigid to provide quiet and vibration free performance. International Electrotechnical
Commission standard 1010 part 2-20 limits permitted movement of a centrifuge to 300mm in the event of a disruption.
Therefore, mark this clearance envelope boundary around the centrifuge. Laboratory procedures should require that no
person or any hazardous materials are within this boundary during operation of the centrifuge.
Plug the unit into a 120 VAC ± 10%, 50/60 Hz (Cat. No.s 448 & 458) or a 220/240 VAC ± 10%, 50/60 Hz (Cat No.s 449 &
459) grounded receptacle.
OPERATION
To open the cover, press the black latch button upward, and lift the cover. The rotor is installed by orienting it on the shaft
and pressing down on its center hub. Close the cover securely, ensuring that the latch is fully engaged. To start a run,
turn the timer knob to the desired run duration. (For runs of less than five minutes, turn the timer past the five (5) minute
setting and then back to the desired run duration.) For runs of infinite duration, turn the timer knob to the '
motor will take several seconds to reach top speed.
A run is stopped by either turning the timer knob to the zero (0) setting or by allowing the time to expire. Wait until the rotor
has stopped before opening the cover.
SAFETY
Below are listed warnings against operating procedures which could result in an accident and/or personal injury. Also listed
are cautions against procedures which could result in damage to your centrifuge or accessory equipment.
Warnings:
•Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
•Never remove the grounding prong from the power plug, or use any adapter which does not complete the grounding
circuit.
•Always unplug the power cord before attempting to clean or service the centrifuge.
•Do not spin fluids having a specific gravity greater than 1.5.
•Do not operate the centrifuge if the shields or rotor show signs of damage. If deterioration is visible, replace the affected
parts immediately.
•Load the rotor SYMMETRICALLY with 2,3,4 or 6 tubes in the six-place rotor (NOT 1 or 5); or 2,3,4,6,8,9,10 or 12 tubes in
the twelve-place rotor (NOT 1, 5, 7 or 11). The tubes must be of equal size and with contents of equal (to within 1 gram)
weight.
Cautions:
•The Thermo IEC Medilite is not intended or recommended for use with chemical solvents that may weaken critical parts.
Refrain from using prohibited chemicals (see Table 1) for cleaning and/or centrifugation.
