3.3 CONNECTING POWER UNIT
Be sure the Power Pack is not plugged in. Connect the power pack output cable plug to the power input cable on
the right side of the centrifuge (Figure 3-2). Using the appropriate line cord (Figure 3-3), connect the female plug
to the receptacle in the side of the Power Pack and the male plug to a grounded AC power receptacle.
3.4 PLACEMENT AND OPERATING EQUIPMENT
Place the centrifuge on a smooth, level working surface in a location where it will not be exposed to direct
sunlight. Centrifugations in direct sunlight can elevate the rotor compartment temperature and may adversely
affect the formation of readable cell layers in QBC blood tubes. For stability, be sure the unit rests on its suction
feet.
Mark an envelope 300 mm (~12 inches) wider than the body of the centrifuge around the area in which the
centrifuge is to be used. Keep all personnel and hazardous materials outside this envelope when the centrifuge
is operating.
CAUTION
To avoid electrical hazards and equipment damage, connect the power cord
only to grounded receptacles delivering the voltage and frequency specified
on the data plate of the power supply, with a switch or other means of circuit
disconnection located outside the clearance envelope defined in Section 3.4
of this manual. When only a 2-wire receptacle and/or an unswitched line is
available, have the receptacle and/or the supply line modified by a qualified
service technician, in accordance with applicable electrical codes, to conform
to this note.
