CAUTION: Never attempt to defeat the latch or open the lid while the
CentriVap micro IR is running. Personal injury can result from moving
parts and chemicals.
Electrical Connection
Plug the power cord into the receptacle on the back of the CentriVap micro IR
Concentrator and plug the other end into a suitable power receptacle.
Rotor Installation
The CentriVap micro IR Concentrator comes with a 1.5ml rotor installed. If a
different rotor is required you may remove the standard rotor and replace it with
one of the other available rotors. To remove the rotor, loosen the left handed
19mm hex nut using the rotor wrench. The rotor nut is left handed so turn the nut
clockwise to remove. Once the nut is removed the rotor can be lifted off of the
drive hub. Place the alternate rotor on the drive hub making sure the drive pins are
properly engaged with the drive holes in the rotor. Replace the 19mm hex nut by
turning counter-clockwise; secure the nut using the rotor wrench. Do not over
tighten the hex nut.
IMPORTANT: Do not leave the rotor wrench in the chamber. Do not use a
rotor if it shows any signs of damage.
Installing a CentriZap™ micro IR Strobe
Light
An LED strobe light comes standard with each CentriVap micro IR Concentrator.
This light will enable you to see the samples as they are rotating in the chamber.
Attach the connector on the strobe light harness into the receptacle on the back of
the CentriVap micro IR marked “STROBE.”
To use the strobe light while the unit is operating, press the pushbutton on the
light and shine the light on the samples in the rotor.
