4. Installation and Start-up
Open cardboard box. Take out the box containing the accessories. Remove centrifuge
upwards together with the upper foam cushions.
Do not use the lid to pull the centrifuge out of its package.
When lifting or carrying the centrifuge please always reach under the
instrument from the side.
The CENTRISART ® A-14 does not have any transport safety device.
All energy consumed by the centrifuge is converted into heat and emitted into the
ambient air. Therefore, sufficient ventilation is important. To make sure that the
ventilation openings in the machine remain fully functional, an adequate distance
to the wall has to be maintained. In addition, the centrifuge shouldn't be positioned
near radiators and should not be directly exposed to sunshine.
The table should have a solid, even top.
Keep a safety clearance of at least 30 cm around the centrifuge.
For normal operation the ambient temperature should not fall below 4 °C and not
exceed 40 °C. The max. humidity of air is 80 %. During transport from cold to warmer
places water will condensate inside the centrifuge. It is important that there is
enough time for drying before the centrifuge can be started again.
The operating voltage on the name plate must correspond to the local supply voltage!
Sartorius Stedim Biotech GmbH centrifuges are units of safety class I, DIN VDE 0700,
and in clude a three wire power cord 2,5 m long with shockproof right angle plug.
The centrifuges must be protected typically with at least 16 Amp B or L slow acting
fuses.
An emergency circuit breaker to cut the power to the centrifuge in the event of
any malfunction is required on site. This switch should be located away from the
centrifuge, preferably outside the room where the centrifuge is used or at the exit
of this room.
1. Open centrifuge lid by pressing the Lid-key.
2. Unscrew rotor fastening nut from motor shaft (anticlockwise).
3. Lower the rotor straight down onto the motor shaft.
4. Tighten the rotor fastening nut (clockwise) by hand
(which is corresponding to 1 Nm).
