Installation
Bench Space
Follow these instructions for installation to operate the Visium CytAssist

or vibration.

Avoid areas that have obstruction in the rear such as power strips or hose lines (spigots
for vacuum or air).
• Allows access to the plug at the wall receptacle (to safely disconnect power).

• Provides a minimum of 4” (10 cm) clearance around unit to allow free

General Power Safety
Grounding is required to prevent electric shock. If the power source is not
grounded, qualified personnel must first install a reliable safety ground.
• DO NOT plug the instrument power cable into an electrical outlet if the
power cable is damaged.
• To prevent electric shock, plug the instrument power cable into
properly grounded outlets.
• When using an extension cable or power strip, ensure that the total
ampere rating of the instrument does not exceed the ampere rating
of the extension cable. The extension cable must be designed for
grounded plugs and plugged into a grounded wall outlet.
• Be sure to grasp the plug, not the cable, when disconnecting the
instrument from an electric socket.
