1.5. Safety Instructions
The operator must observe the following precautions when using the centrifuge:
•Ensure stability and perfect levelling of the centrifuge.
•Check the correct mounting of the rotor and its accessories before starting a centrifugation cycle.
•Check tube resistance at maximum applied centrifugal force: chemical resistance to centrifuged
products and mechanical strength at the centrifugal force applied thereto.
•Check the condition of the tubes and remove damaged tubes.
•Use only the rotors and accessories authorized by the manufacturer AFI Centrifuge.
•Swing-out rotors: install four (or two) buckets; never perform any cycle with missing buckets.
•Maintain and control accessories.
•Balance the load of the rotor around the axis of rotation.
•Respect the maximum density of 1.2 g / cm3,in particular in case of a cycle at full speed.
•Limit volume in case of excess density.
•Install the centrifuge in a ventilated area, on a horizontal rigid support to absorb the vibrations
generated by the centrifuge.
•During operation, the centrifuge must not be moved or be subject to impact.
•Do not attempt to open the lid while the rotor is spinning.
•Do not attempt to neutralize the motorized lid lock
•Do not lean over the centrifuge during the spin cycle.
•Do not stay within a space of 10 inch around the centrifuge longer than necessary.
•Do not leave potentially dangerous materials inside the free space.
•Use aerosol-barrier accessories when centrifuging bio hazardous material.
•Condensation may form inside the centrifuge when it is moved from a cold environment to a warm
environment. Allow the centrifuge to warm up for two hours before use.
1.6. Information on the refrigerant fluid used
The "refrigerant" type apparatus contains fluorinated greenhouse gases under the Kyoto Protocol. They should
therefore not be released into the atmosphere. Repairs or disassembly of this appliance should only be carried
out by qualified personnel.
The data corresponding to the type of refrigerant, the Global Warming Potential (GWP) value, and the load are
detailed in § 1.4.1.Models & Specifications.

Originale Notice - Rev.1.2 User Manual –Katrina p.13/ 55
2.Installation Instructions
2.1. Shipment
AFI Centrifuge takes every reasonable precaution to assure that your KATRINA Centrifuge arrives without damage.
Motor carriers are carefully selected and shipping cartons have been specially designed to insure your purchase.
However, damage can occur in any shipment and the following outlines the steps you should take on receipt of a
KATRINA Centrifuge to be sure that if damage has occurred, the proper claims and actions are taken immediately.
2.2. Damaged Shipments
Terms are factory, unless stated otherwise. Therefore, it is important to check each shipment before acceptance.
If there is visible damage, the material can be accepted after the driver makes a notation on the consignee's copy of the
freight bill. Then an inspection must be made to verify the claim against the carrier. This inspection is the basis of your
filing the claim against the carrier.
If concealed damage is found it is absolutely necessary to NOTIFY THE FREIGHT AGENT AT ONCE and request an
inspection. Without this inspection, the transportation company may not accept a claim for loss or damage. If the
carrier will not perform the inspection, an affidavit must be prepared stating that he was contacted on a certain date and
that he failed to comply with the request. This along with other papers in the customer's possession will support the
claim.
2.3. Handling and transport
The package containing the centrifuge needs to be handled by suitable means (pallet truck, etc.).
Please ensure that the people in charge of handling are qualified to handle the lifting equipment.
Maintain the following conditions during transport:
Temperature: -20 to 50 ° C
Relative humidity: <90%, under the dew point
2.4. Unpacking
On reception, check the external packaging is undamaged.
Unpacking must take place in a sufficiently spacious area: a clearance area of 3 meters in front of the pallet is needed
to remove the machine from its packaging. 2 people authorized by AFI Centrifuge are needed to remove the
centrifuge from its pallet.
A label on the carton indicates which side to leave clear for removal of the centrifuge.
The Katrina is packaged with great care to avoid possible damage during transport. Before removing the packaging
from the centrifuge and the rotating accessories, check that all the items are present (see next paragraph).
If moving the machine means climbing steps it is recommended to put the machine back on its pallet.
The wheels are only to be used for removal from the pallet and short distances.

Doorway: 810 mm
The location of the centrifuge must be able to resist
twice the machine's weight in use (approximately 480
kg) i.e. 960 kg and be able to operate without vibrating.
Vibrations can diminish the results of the
centrifugation.
The floor must be horizontal and clean.
Allow an area of 860 x 1020mm for the centrifuge. Be
sure to create a clearance area of 30 cm around the
centrifuge. The clearance area must remain free of any
objects. In the event of a major accident, this clearance
area allows the centrifuge to absorb the kinetic energy
without interfering with any other object. Furthermore,
this empty space allows for a renewal of fresh air for
optimal operation of the refrigeration system.
Fig. 3 Free space around the centrifuge
Allow minimum of 60 cm between 2 adjacent centrifuges. This space ensures the required clearance area for
each machine and sufficient ventilation between them.

bench.
2.10. Electrical & Environmental Requirements
The KATRINA centrifuge must be connected directly to the switchboard, in 230V 50Hz single-phase or in a cable
outlet junction box.
The centrifuge is equipped with about 4 metres of 3G4 cable.
The protective earth conductor of the machine must be connected to the earth of the installation.
The centrifuge's power supply must be protected by a safety device that automatically cuts off the power
supply in the event of an insulation fault,
This will typically be a 30mA earth leakage circuit breaker upstream of the connection.
Dedicated power supply line :
- The power line must be capable of carrying at least 17A and must be dedicated to the appliance.
- It must be protected against overloads by its own protective device, e.g. a two-pole thermal magnetic circuit
breaker.
•in general it will be a 20A line, protected by its 20A circuit breaker. In all cases the calibre of the circuit
breaker must be adapted to the line to be protected.
•The circuit breaker must be identified as the centrifuge disconnecting device and easily accessible
nearby.
The electrical installation must comply with all regulations in force at the place of installation.
Environment Temperature Range: 60⁰F - 85⁰F (15⁰C - 30⁰C)
Environment Humidity: Maximum relative humidity 80% for temperatures up to 31⁰C decreasing linearly to
50% relative humidity at 40⁰C
Environment Altitude: Maximum of 6562 Feet (2000 meters) above sea level
Standard Fluorescent Lighting @ 150 ft. candles (1614 LUX) maximum intensity.
Pollution degree describes the amount of conductive pollution present in the operating environment.
Pollution degree 2 assumes that normally only non-conductive pollution such as dust occurs with the
exception of occasional conductivity caused by condensation.
Chemical exposure should be limited to antibacterial materials used for cleaning and disinfecting.
CHLORINATED AND HALOGEN MATERIALS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE ON STAINLESS STEEL
SURFACES.
