Multi-purpose, High speed Centrifuge, 1580 – Service manual

1.2.2 Safety Precautions
•Supply proper voltage power according to device’s power requirement.
•Let all repairing works done by authorized or qualified personnel.
•Use rotors or accessories which are approved by Gyrozen.
•Not try to open the lid and or move the device while the rotor is running.
•Operate the centrifuge with a rotor properly attached and secured to the shaft.
•Not use flammable, hazardous, explosive, or corrosive materials.
NOTE: When it is required to use toxic, radioactive materials or pathogenic micro-
organisms, which belong to the Risk Group II of WHO: “Laboratory Bio-safety Manual,”
should follow the regulation guidelines from WHO.

•Keep away hazardous materials farther than 30 cm (12 in) from the device during
centrifugation, as recommended in IEC standards 61010-2-020.
•Keep the rpm or rcf under its maximum speed in the case that the density of sample
materials is greater than 1.2 g/ml to avoid rotor failure.
•Load samples symmetrically in the rotor diagonally to make balance between the tubes.
•Balance the load on the rotor totally to prevent the damage to the device even by using
several water-filled tubes.
•Place device on a flat, level, rigid and stable surface.
•Disconnect power supply prior to maintenance and service work to avoid electrical shock.
•Use proper disinfection procedures when centrifuging bio hazardous compounds.
When a blackout takes place while the device is running, the door does not open. And the
rotor speed begins to decrease at natural level. Even if the power turns on before the rotor
stops completely, the rotor does not return to the original speed, but decreases more rapidly
with buzzer sound.
The door is closed/opened automatically by a door lock unit operated by motor and
solenoid, and it will not be opened while the rotor is running at all. Even if the door is
opened accidentally, a door limit switch senses it instantly to make the rotor speed decrease.
If the rotor loses balance while running by any reason, it invokes vibration on the device
itself. In this case the Imbalance sensor senses it and makes the rotor begin to decrease with
preset level issuing Imbalance Error warning. This safety function protects the device from
damage during operation.
