SAFETY NOTICE
This safety notice summarizes information basic to the safe operation of the equipment
described in this manual. The international symbol displayed above is a reminder that all
safety instructions should be read and understood before installation, operation, mainte-
nance, or repair of this instrument. When you see the symbol on other pages, pay special
attention to the safety information presented. Observance of safety precautions will also
help to avoid actions that could damage or adversely affect the performance of the
centrifuge.
Safety During Installation and/or Maintenance
This centrifuge is designed to be installed by a Beckman Coulter field service representa-
tive. Installation by anyone other than authorized Beckman Coulter personnel invalidates
any warranty covering the instrument.
Any servicing of this equipment that requires removal of any covers can expose parts that
involve the risk of electric shock or personal injury. Make sure that the power switch is
turned off and the instrument is disconnected from the main power source, and refer such
servicing to qualified personnel.
Be sure to use the anchoring system to secure the centrifuge in place. The anchoring
system is designed to reduce the possibility of injury or damage that could result from
instrument movement in the event of a major rotor mishap.
Do not replace any centrifuge components with parts not specified for use on this
instrument.
Electrical Safety
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this equipment uses a three or five-wire electrical
cord and plug to connect this equipment to earth-ground. To preserve this safety feature:
• Make sure that the matching wall outlet receptacle is properly wired and earth-
grounded. Check that the line voltage agrees with the voltage listed on the name-rating
plate affixed to the centrifuge.
•Never use a three-to-two wire plug adapter.
•Never use a two-wire extension cord or a two-wire non-grounding type of multiple-
outlet receptacle strip.
Do not place containers holding liquid on or near the chamber door. If they spill, liquid
may get into the centrifuge and damage electrical or mechanical components.
!

Safety Against Risk of Fire
This centrifuge is not designed for use with materials capable of developing flammable
or explosive vapors. Do not centrifuge such materials (for example, chloroform or ethyl
alcohol) in this instrument nor handle or store them near the centrifuge.
Mechanical Safety
For safe operation of the equipment, observe the following:
• Use only the Beckman Coulter rotors and accessories designed for use in this
centrifuge.
• Do not exceed the maximum rated speed of the rotor in use.
• NEVER attempt to slow or stop a rotor by hand.
• Do not lift or move the centrifuge while a rotor is spinning.
• NEVER attempt to override the door interlock system while the rotor is spinning.
• Do not lean on the centrifuge or place items on it while it is operating.
Chemical and Biological Safety
Normal operation may involve the use of solutions and test samples that are pathogenic,
toxic, or radioactive. Such materials should not be used in this centrifuge, however, unless
all necessary safety precautions are taken .
• Observe all cautionary information printed on the original solution containers prior to
their use.
• Handle body fluids with care because they can transmit disease. No known test offers
complete assurance that they are free of micro-organisms. Some of the most virulent—
Hepatitis (B and C) and HIV (I–V) viruses, atypical mycobacteria, and certain
systemic fungi—further emphasize the need for aerosol protection. Handle other infec-
tious samples according to good laboratory procedures and methods to prevent spread
of disease. Because spills may generate aerosols, observe proper safety precautions for
aerosol containment. Do not run toxic, pathogenic, or radioactive materials in this
centrifuge without taking appropriate safety precautions. Biosafe containment should
be used when Risk Group II materials (as identified in the World Health Organization
Laboratory Biosafety Manual ) are handled; materials of a higher group require more
than one level of protection.
•Dispose of all waste solutions according to appropriate environmental health and safety
guidelines.
It is your responsibility to decontaminate the instrument and accessories before
requesting service by Beckman Coulter.

This manual is designed to familiarize centrifuge users and site
engineers with the Avanti
®
J-20XP centrifuge, its functions, specifi-
cations, operation, and routine care and maintenance. We recommend
that you read this entire manual, especially the
SAFETY NOTICE
and
all safety-related information, before operating the instrument or
performing instrument maintenance.
• Section 1 contains system specifications and instructions for
preparing your site for centrifuge installation.
• Section 2 contains an overall description of the centrifuge,
including a description of system controls and indicators.
• Section 3 summarizes procedures for operating the centrifuge.
•Section 4 lists system diagnostic messages, together with probable
causes and user-performed corrective actions.
• Section 5 contains procedures for routine maintenance, as well as
a brief list of supplies and replacement parts.
• The appendix contains a procedure to use when temperature
control within ±1°C is required.

Introduction
➠NOTE
If the centrifuge is used in a manner other than
specified in this manual, the safety and perfor-
mance of this equipment could be impaired.
Further, the use of any equipment other than
that recommended by Beckman Coulter has not
been evaluated for safety. Use of any equipment
not specifically recommended in this manual is
the sole responsibility of the user.
CONVENTIONS
Certain symbols are used in this manual to call out safety related and
other important information. These international symbols may also be
displayed on the centrifuge and are reproduced and described on the
inside cover and/or below.
NOTES, CAUTIONS, AND WARNINGS
➠NOTE
Used to call attention to information that should
be followed during installation, use, and/or
servicing of the equipment.
!CAUTION
Used to indicate a potentially hazardous situa-
tion which, if not avoided, may result in minor
or moderate injury and/or mechanical damage.
It is also used to alert against unsafe practices.

Introduction
!
WARNING
Used whenever an action or condition may
potentially cause personal injury or loss of
life. Mechanical damage may also result.
WARNING
Indicates high voltage or risk of electric
shock. Refer servicing of all areas displaying
either symbol to qualified service personnel.
TYPOGRAPHIC CONVENTIONS
Certain typographic conventions are used throughout this manual to
distinguish names of user interface components, such as keys and
displays.
•Control knob names (for example, ROTOR and SPEED) appear in
all capital letters.
•Key names (for example,

_78%68a
and

_7834a
) appear in boxes.
•Display field names (for example, TEMP°C or SPEED ) appear in
bold type.
RADIO INTERFERENCE
This instrument has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
this instruction manual, may cause interference to radio communica-
tions. Operation of this equipment in a residential area may cause
interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.

Introduction
CANADIAN REGULATIONS
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio
noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the radio interfer-
ence regulations of the Canadian Department of Communications.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques

Specifications and Preinstallation Requirements
a
Maximum speeds are based on a solution density of 1.2 g/mL with the following exceptions: the JA-18.1 rotor is rated for a density of 1.4 g/mL;
the JCF-Z rotor is rated for a density of 1.45 g/mL; and the JE-5.0 rotor is rated for a density of 3 g/mL.
b
Maximum speed for the JA-30.50 Ti rotor is 26 000 rpm in the Avanti J-20XP centrifuge, and 30 000 rpm in the Avanti J-30I centrifuge.
c
Maximum speed for the JS-24.38 and JS-24.15 rotors is 10 000 rpm in the Avanti J-20XP centrifuge,
and 24 000 rpm in the Avanti J-30I centrifuge.
d
In the Avanti J-20XP, the JCF-Z Continuous Flow/Zonal Rotor can be used in the continuous flow and reorienting gradient zonal
configurations only.
