1.1 Usage in accordance with safety standards

1.1.1 General information This unit is a medicine product according to the IVD guide line 98/79/EG.

1.1.1.1 Hazards and precautions

Before setting the centrifuge into operation, please read this instruction manual carefully!

For your personal safety, please review the following precautions:

• The HERMLE Z 206 A is not explosion-proof and must therefore not be operated in explosion- endangered areas or locations. During centrifugation, it is prohibited to stay within the safety zone of 30 cm around the centrifuge or deposit hazardous substances within this area.

• Centrifugation of flammable, explosive and radioactive substances, which chemically react with high energy, is strictly prohibited!

• Never spin toxic or pathogenic material without adequate safety precautions, i.e. centrifugation of buckets / tubes without or with defective hermetic sealings is strictly prohibited. The user is obligated to perform appropriate disinfection procedures in the case that dangerous substances have contaminated the centrifuge and / or the accessories. When centrifuging infectious substances, always pay attention to the General Laboratory Precautions. If necessary, contact your safety officer.

• It is prohibited to run the centrifuge with rotors that are not listed for this unit.

• Under no circumstances open the lid of the centrifuge while the rotor is still running or rotating with a speed of > 2 m/s.

Following rules must strictly be adhered to:

• Do not operate the centrifuge in the case that it is not installed correctly.

• Do not operate the centrifuge when dismounted (e.g. without housing).

• Do not run the centrifuge when mechanical or electrical components have been tampered with by unauthorized personnel.

• Do not use accessories such as rotors and buckets, which are not exclusively approved by HERMLE Labortechnik GmbH, except commercially availab le centrifuge tubes made of glass or plastic.

• Do not spin extremely corrosive substances, as they may cause material damages and impair mechanical resistance.

• Do not operate the centrifuge with rotors or buckets, which show any signs of corrosion or mechanical

damage.

1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The manufacturer is responsibl e for safe ty and reliability of the centrifuge when:

• The unit is operated in accordance with this instruction manual.

• Modifications, repairs or other adjustments are performed by HERMLE-authorized personnel and the

electrical installation of the related location corresponds to the IEC-regulations.

1.1.1.2 Brief description

Model Z 206 A is a compact small centrifuge capable of running swing out and angle rotors. All relevant run parameters can easily be set with the display keys and be pre-selected with the main adjustment knob. All pre-selected and actual values are permanently displayed on large LCD display. The lid is latched and released with an electronic lid lock. The centrifuge has a powerful, maintenance-free motor with a low noise level.

1.1.1.3 Safety standards

The centrifuge corresponds with the General Requirements for Medical Units Regulations (MedGV) (group 3).

Following standards have been considered for the production of our centrifuges:

• Accident Prevention Regulation for electrical units and installations UVV VBG 4

• Accident Prevention Regulation for centrifuges as per BGR 500; Chapter 2.11; Part 3

• DIN 58970 part 1, 2 and 4 for centrifuges and tubes

• Electrical Interference Suppression according to interference degree B as per VDE 0871

• Electrical Safety as per IEC 1010-1 and IEC 1010-2-D

• European Standard PR EN 61 010-1 and PR EN 61 010-2-2

1.1.1.4 Included Accessories

Following parts are supplied as accessories with each centrifuge:

• 1 Instruction manual

1.1.1.5 Warranty

The centrifuge has been subjected to thorough testing and quality control procedures. In the unlikely case of any manufacturing faults occurring, the centrifuge and rotors are covered by

warranty for a period of two year from date of delivery. This warranty becomes invalid in case of mishandling, negligence, and further in case of

usage of inappropriate spare parts and / or accessories, as well as any unauthorized modification of the unit.

Technical modification rights are reserved by the manufacturer in respect to technical improvement.

1.2 Installation

1.2.1 Installation of the centrifuge

1.2.1.1 Unpacking the centrifuge

Model Z 206 A is supplied in a carton. Remove the strap retainer, open the carton and remove the centrifuge. The instruction manual should always be kept with the centrifuge.

1.2.1.2 Space requirements

The centrifuge should be installed on an even and solid surface, if possible on a laboratory cabinet / table or some other solid vibration free surface. In order to enable a safe and smooth operation, level the centrifuge with a levelling device. The centrifuge must be placed in a way, that there is a minimum space of 30 cm on each side of the unit in order to ensure the necessary heat dissipation. Do not place the centrifuge next to a window or a heater, where it could be dispos ed to excessive heat, as the performance of the unit is based on an ambient temperature of 23°C.

Safety regulations require that the safety area of 30 cm around the unit is marked in order to indicate that neither hazardous substances nor persons should be within this are a during centrifugation.

1.2.1.3 Installation Follow these steps:

• Check whether power supply corresponds with the one named on the manufacturer's rating label which is mounted on the rear panel.

• The line voltage circuit breaker is max. 10 A (type K) slow release for commonly used instruments.

• In case of emergency, there must be an emergency switch off installed outside the room in order to disconnect the power supply of the unit. (• Remove the transport spacer blocks from the motor shaft (see chapter 2.2.2).)

The outlet for the power cord must be easy to reach and to disconnect!

1.5 Initial Setup

Before the first operation and after each rotor change, you have to select the appropriate rotor code. You can find each rotor type in the printed order number on the rotor.

Example: Angle rotor 220.96 V01 ≙ Rotor type “96“ Swing out rotor 220.68 V04 ≙ Rotor type “68“

Switch on the unit and open the lid. Now press simultaneously the keys “lid “ (1) and “stop” (2). In the

display “rpm/rcf” then appears the selected rotor type, ex. “96”. With the adjustment knob (7) you can

select the desired rotor code. (See photo 1) To set the data in the unit please wait until the indication in

the display “rpm/rcf” disappears.

Now all important rotor parameters for the centrifuge are stored.
