Before setting the centrifuge into operation, please read this instruction manual carefully!
This centrifuge must not be operated by unqualified personnel not being familiar with the correct
use of the unit.
Always, use the original accessories only!
For your safety, please review the following precautions:
•The DYNAMICA VELOCITY 30R is not explosion-proof and therefore must 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 or substances which reacts 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 case dangerous substances have
contaminated the centrifuge and / or its 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 other than 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 case it is not installed correctly.
•Do not operate the centrifuge when dismounted (e.g. without metal cover).
•Do not run the centrifuge when mechanical or electrical assembly groups have been tampered with by
unauthorized persons.
•Do not use accessories such as rotors and buckets, which are not exclusively approved by
Dynamica Scientific Limited, except commercially available 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 sign of corrosion or mechanical damage.
