VI. Safety Warnings and Precautions of LOAA Analyzer
Warnings and precautions are for proper use and safe operation of the equipment. Users who handle the equipment should
observe all the following matters for safety. OPTOLANE Technologies, Inc is not responsible for any failure to comply with
the following safety warnings and precautions.
A. Precautions for using the equipment
(1) Check whether the power cord is connected to the external power source (100-240V~, 50/60Hz), and
whether it is properly installed in the equipment. Incorrect connection of the power cord may cause damage
or failure of the equipment when the equipment is turned on.
(2) This equipment is used for nucleic acid amplification, so please use it for the proper purpose.
(3) Do not turn off the power or unplug the power cable when the equipment is running. An error may occur,
causing equipment to fail or affecting the results of the experiment.
(4) Install the equipment on a flat surface.
(5) Do not drive the equipment with wet hands as it may cause electric shock or equipment failure. When
touching the power cord, work with water-free hands as well.
(6) If the user makes a mistake, including the use of inappropriate accessories, or if the equipment is forcibly
stopped during normal use, the equipment may be stopped.
(7) Do not place anything on the front and back of the equipment. Blocking the airflow of the cooling fan may
reduce the cooling performance of the equipment.
(8) Do not insert foreign objects into the ventilation openings on the front, rear, or life side of the equipment.
The performance of the cooling fan may be deteriorated due to foreign objects, causing the equipment to
overheat and causing a fire.
B. Precautions for electrical environment
(1) Do not use the equipment with a damaged power cord. Overheating the power cord may cause electric
shock or fire.
(2) Do not connect multiple devices to one external power source. Overheating may cause fire.
(3) When connecting or disconnecting the power cord from an external power source, make sure that your
hands are dry. Moisture may cause electric shock.
(4) Use only the power cord supplied by the company.
(5) The socket outlet should be installed at least 1.5 m from the sink or basin.
(6) Do not repair the power outlet with insulating tape. Moisture can penetrate into the tape.
(7) If you use a power cord other than that supplied by the company, you must use the one that meets the
rated voltage and current.
(8) The plug must be suitable for the socket outlet.
(9) To prevent fire due to overheating, disconnect the power cord from LOAA Analyzer when not using it for a
long time.
(10) Use of improper high-voltage power may damage the wiring system of the equipment, which causes fire.
Before applying power to the equipment, make sure that the power supplied to the laboratory matches the
power of the equipment.
