2.4 Security protections

Medibas+ centrifuge has a series of security protections:
-
The base is made of steel and the inner chamber is made of stainless steel;
-
The lid uses explosión-proof structure and has locking system. Only when the centrifuge
is turned on and the rotor is stopped, the open button
the lid; only when the lid is locked, the centrifuge can start running.
-
Over speed: when the rotor speed exceeds in 400 rpm the set speed, the alarm will sound;
when the rotor speed exceeds in 450 rpm the maximum permitted rotor speed, the motor
will automatically stop. Once rotor is completely stopped, open the lid, remove the
obstacles and re-run.
-
Imbalance: in case of rotor imbalance that results in an excess of shaking rate of motor
shaft, the centrifuge will stop and alarm will sound; generally the imbalance is caused by
an irregular loading of samples. Once the rotor is completely stopped, open the lid, solve
the problem and re-run.
-
Emergency lid opening system: if during operation there a sudden power failure or
machine fault and the lid cannot be open then it will be necessary to use the emergency
opening system (please refer to "Troubleshooting").

2.5 Placement requirements

-
The centrifuge must be placed on a rigid, stable surface and must be kept away from any
impact or vibration; avoid heat and direct sunlight exposure.
-
There must be a free space of 10-15 cm all around the centrifuge to assure correct
cooling ventilation.
-
Level must be adjusted after installation and make the four supporting legs at the bottom
of the equipment to support evenly on the horizontal surface.
-
Power supply to the equipment must be of 220V AC / 50-60HZ / 8A and must be properly
earthed.
The equipment must be perfectly grounded. Do not cut off
power supply during operation, the control circuit could be
damaged.
