GETTING STARTED
Installing the instrument
Precautions for positioning the instrument
Note: The safety of any system incorporating the instrument is the responsibility of the system assembler.
l Use this instrument in a dry and clean environment. The presence of synthetic materials (synthetic clothing, carpets
etc.) may cause damaging electrostatic discharges that may lead to erroneous results.
l Do not use this instrument in close proximity to sources of strong electromagnetic radiation (e.g. unshielded
intentional RF sources), as these may interfere with the proper operation.
l The electromagnetic environment should be evaluated prior to operation of the instrument.
l Leave about 30 cm of clearance around the instrument in such a way that no obstacle impedes to disconnect its
power supply.
l If the reduction or removal process is delicate because of the sample preciousness, install a UPS (Uninterruptible
Power Supply). See "Electrical data" on page41.
l Install the instrument far from heat and sun's rays.
l Place the instrument on a flat surface and far from vibrating devices (for example centrifuge).
l Condensate formation. Keep the instrument at room temperature for at least four hours before turning it on.
Connect the instrument to the power supply
1. Let the instrument warm up to the room temperature.
2. Move the main power switch to OFF.
3. Connect the power cord to the power supply.
NOTICE: Use only the provided power supply and power cord. The use of a different power supply or power cord
can damage the instrument. Contact the Menarini Silicon Biosystems Customer Service to order a suitable power
supply or power cord.
Only connect the instrument to voltage sources that correspond to the electrical requirements of the power supply.
4. With the arrows on the locking device facing upwards, insert the power supply plug in the power supply socket.
5. Connect the power cord to the electrical socket.
