Preinstallation Requirements
Securing the Centrifuge to the Floor
• Never use a two-wire extension cord or a two-wire non-grounding type of multiple-outlet
receptacle strip.
• If there is any question about voltage, have a qualified service person measure it under load
while the drive is operating.
To ensure safety the centrifuge should be wired to a remote emergency switch in order to
disconnect the centrifuge from the main power source in case of a malfunction.
Securing the Centrifuge to the Floor
Avanti J series centrifuges are certified to meet the requirements of the European CE mark. To meet
these requirements, the centrifuge must be secured to the floor using the anchoring hardware
shipped with the instrument. This will prevent the centrifuge from moving in the unlikely event of
a rotor mishap.
Complete instructions for installing the anchoring kit are packaged with the hardware, which is
shipped with the centrifuge. The instructions (publication SJ-TB-002) include a full-size template to
be used as a guide for drilling holes in the floor. Refer to this document for additional installation
instructions.
NOTE
Beckman Coulter representatives are not equipped to drill holes in your floor. The holes must be drilled
before your scheduled installation.
Bio-Safety Level 3 Installation
For laboratories with epoxy aggregate floors, such as BSL-3 labs, a non-invasive installation kit
(393316) is available. The kit which consists of an adhesive-backed mounting plate, is CSA certified
for use on epoxy aggregate floors only.
