manual carefully.manual carefully.

The centrifuge must not be operated by unqualified persons not familar with the correct
use and intended purpose of the machine. Please use only the original spare parts.

For personal and environmental safety, pay special attention to the following

precautions:

The Hermle Z 233 M-2 is neither explosion proof nor inert gas shielded and should,
therefore, never be operated in explosive-hazardous locations.
Never stay in the safety zone of 30 cm around the centrifuge or deposit dangerous
materials inside this zone during centrifugation.
The centrifugation of flammable, explosive or radioactive samples is not
allowed.
Do not spin samples which can chemically react with each other when exposed to air.
Never spin toxical or pathological material without adequate safety precautions i.e.
centrifuging of buckets/tubes without or with defective hermetic sealing is not
allowed.
The end-user should perform appropriate disinfection procedures in the event of
dangerous materials contaminating the centrifuge or its accessories.
General universal laboratory precautions should be observed if infectious materials are
centrifuged. If necessary, please contact a health safety officer!
It is prohibited to run the centrifuge with rotors not suited for this centrifuge model.
Under no circumstances, should the centrifuge lid be opened while the rotor is still
turning (running with a speed of more than 2 meters per second).

The following rules must be strictly adhered to:The following rules must be strictly adhered to:

The following rules must be strictly adhered to:The following rules must be strictly adhered to:

Do not operate the centrifuge if it is not installed correctly.
Never operate the centrifuge in a disassembled state ( e.g. without sheet metal cover).
Do not run the centrifuge if electrical or mechanical systems have been tampered with

by unauthorized persons.

Never use accessories such as rotors and buckets which are not exclusively
approved by
commercially available centrifuge tubes of glass or plastic.
Do not spin corrosive samples which may cause damage to the centrifuge and impair
the mechanic resistance.
Never operate the centrifuge with rotors or buckets which show any signs of
corrosion or mechanical damage

2 1.2 Description

Model Z 233 M-2 is a microcentrifuge. Four rotors for microcentrifuge tubes are
available (24 x 1.5ml, 44 x 1.5ml, 48 combo 24x1.5, 24 x 0.5ml, and 64 x .05ml).
The Z 233 M-2 is microprocessor controlled and has a maintenance-free induction
drive motor.

1.3 Do not operate the centrifuge if:

- The unit is not installed correctly.

- The unit is partly dismantled.

- The unit was serviced by non-authorized or non-qualified personnel.

- The rotor is not installed securely on the motor shaft.

- Rotors or accessories will be used which are not authorized for this
unit by Hermle or Labnet.
Exception: Commercially available tubes or bottles made of glass or plastic.

- The unit is in explosive atmospheres.

- Combustible or explosive samples are used.

- Samples are used which can mix and react chemically with each other.

1 .4 Safety standards

The centrifuge corresponds to the general requirements set by German law for
medical apparatus, "MedGV" group 3.
The following standards have been considered for the production of our centrifuges:

- Accident prevention rules for centrifuges, UVV-VBG 7z.

- Accident prevention rules for electrical equipment & installations, UVV-VBG 4.

- International Standard IEC 1010-1 and IEC 1010-2-D

- European Standard PR EN 61010-1 and PR EN 61010-2-2

- Electrical interference suppression according to interference degree B
as per VDE 0871.

2.1 Unpacking the centrifuge

The Z 233 M-2 is supplied in a carton with corrugated cardboard inserts.
Open the carton and remove the corrugated cardboard inserts, then gently remove
centrifuge from carton. The instruction manual and the accessories mentioned
under 1.6 should be kept with the centrifuge.

2 . 2 Required space

The centrifuge should be installed on a rigid, even surface. The centrifuge should
only be operated on a stable laboratory table/cabinet etc. Balance the centrifuge
with a spirit level. To guarantee the necessary heat dissipation, the unit must be
situated so that there is a space of at least 15 cm on each side of the unit.
Never place the centrifuge in an area subject to excessive heat, e.g., strong
sunlight, as the performance of the unit is based upon an ambient temperature
of +23°C.
