Care and Maintenance

Circuit Breaker and Fuses

There are no user-replaceable fuses in the Avanti J-E centrifuge.

If the centrifuge circuit breaker trips for any reason, the power switch will move to the OFF (

position. Reset the circuit breaker by turning the power switch back to the ON (

I) position. If it trips

again immediately, do not reset it. Call Beckman Coulter Field Service.

CAUTION

Repeated attempts to reset the centrifuge circuit breaker can cause substantial

damage to electrical and electronic components.
