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 enviromental safety, special attention has to be paid to the
following precautions:
The Hermle Centrifuges are neither explosion proof nor intert gas shielded and
should therefore never be operated in explosion-hazardais locations.
Never stay in the safety zone of 30 cm around the centrifuge or deposite
dangerous goods inside this zone during centrifugation.
The centrifugation of the flammable or explosive or radioactive samples is not
allowed.
Further more do not spin samples reacting chemically with each other with high
energy when explosed to air.
Never spin toxical or phatological material without adequate safety precautions i.e.
centrifuging of buckets/tubes without or with defective hermetic sealing is not
allowed.
The enduser is engaged to performe appropriate disinfection procedures in case
dangerous goods have contaminated the centrifuge or its accessories.
The general universal laboratory precautions should be observed in case infection
materials are centrifuged. If necessary, please contact your local security officer!
It is prohibited to run the centrifuge with rotors not suited for this centrifuge model.
Under no circumstances, the lid at the centrifuge should be opened while the rotor
is still turning respectively running with a speed of more than 2 meter per second.
The following rules must be strictly adhered to:The following rules must be strictly adhered to:

Do not operate the centrifuge in case it is not installed correctly.
Never operate the centrifuge in a dismounted state ( e.g. without covering sheet
metal)
Do not run the centrifuge when electrical or mechanical assembly groups have
been tampered with by unauthorized persons.
Never use accessories such as rotors and buckets which are not exclusively
approved by
centrifuge tubes of glas or plastic.
Do not spin corrosive samples which may cause damages in material and impair
the mechanic resistance.
never operate the centrifuge with rotors or buckets which show any signs of
corrosion or mechanical damage

1.1Description
The model Z 300 and Z 400 are a universal centrifuge which covers many fields of
applications by offering a wide range of accessories.
The centrifuges are equipped with the Hermle Standart-Control panel.
Speed and running time are set with easy to use control knobs.
The precise parameters selected are shown on the large digital LED display.
1.3Safety 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.
