1Application
The Harrier/R/RH centrifuges are benchtop laboratory centrifuge for in vitro diagnostic (IVD).
Devices are used for separation samples taken from people's, animals’ and plants’ components of
different densities, under the influence of the centrifugal force, to provide information about their
biological state (Harrier – ventilated, Harrier R – with cooling, Harrier RH – with cooling and heating).
Its construction ensures easy operation, safe work and wide range of applications
at laboratories engaged in routine medical analyses, biochemical research works etc.
In the centrifuge, it is prohibited to centrifuge caustic, inflammable and explosive
preparations.

Location
Ensure safe location.
The centrifuge shall not be located near source of heat and shall not be
subjected to direct sunlight.
Centrifuge should be located on a stable and flat-levelled table top.
Centrifuge should be set horizontally on a rigid base.
It is necessary to ensure a ventilation zone of a minimum of 30cm round the
centrifuge from every direction. Do not obstruct ventilation holes !
Benching/Table for centrifuge should have a safety zone of a minimum of
30cm round the centrifuge from every direction (this is needed in case of
malfunction according to EN 61010-020).
Benching/Table for centrifuge should be free of restraints.
Parameters of the centrifuge refer to the above temperatures (see 2.Technical
specification).
When changing from cold to warm, condensation of water will occur inside the
centrifuge. It is therefore important that sufficient time be provided for drying
out of the centrifuge prior to further use of the centrifuge (min. 4 hours).
Do not position the centrifuge so that it is difficult to operate the power
switch.
Supply voltage given on the name plate has to be consistent with local supply
voltage. MSE CENTRIFUGES LTD laboratory centrifuges are 1st class safety
devices and they are provided with the three-core cable with the plug resistant
to dynamic loadings. Mains socket shall be provided with the safety pin
(protective earth (PE)).

It is recommended to install emergency cut-out that shall be located far from

8
the centrifuge, near the exit or beyond the room.

Before switching on, check whether the centrifuge is connected to power
supply correctly. It is compulsory to use the power cord recommended by the
manufacturer (17866 for 230V, 17867 for 120V)
Before use, check whether the device is correctly intalled.
Current protection
The centrifuge is equipped with thermal current protection. Fuse is situated in the
plug-in socket unit at the back of the centrifuge.

4Safety notes
Operating personnel
The laboratory centrifuge can be operated by authorised laboratory personnel after
familiarisation with the user manual.
User manual shall be always held near the centrifuge.
The centrifuge should not be misused.

If the centrifuge is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the device may be impaired.
Guarantee
The warranty period is 24 months (unless otherwise specified in the purchase
documents).
The service life of the centrifuge specified by the manufacturer is
10 years.
After termination of the warranty period, it is necessary to carry out yearly technical
inspections of the centrifuge.
The Manufacturer reserves the right to make technical changes in manufactured
products.
The maximum period of storage of for centrifuges that are not used is 1 year. After
this period, a technical inspection of the centrifuge should be carried out by service
personnel authorised by the manufacturer.

Loading the rotor

Fix the rotor firmly on the motor axis.
Avoid unbalance.
Load opposite buckets with the same accessories.
Centrifugation of the test tubes of different sizes:
There is a possibility to centrifuge test tubes of different sizes; however, it is
absolutely necessary in such cases that opposite buckets and round carriers
be the same.
The mass of different containers with test tubes spun at the same time has
to be comparable. Swing-out rotors must be equipped with all ( two or four
– dependent on the type of rotor) buckets.
Lubricate the swing-out rotor journal pins.

It is necessary to insert test tubes symmetrically on the opposite sides.
