Safety During Installation and/or Maintenance
This instrument is designed to be installed by a Beckman Coulter Field Service
representative. Installation by anyone other than authorized Beckman Coulter
personnel invalidates any warranty covering the instrument.
Any servicing of this equipment that requires removal of any covers can expose parts
which involve the risk of electric shock or personal injury. Make sure that the power
switch is turned OFF and that the instrument is disconnected from the main power
source. Refer such maintenance to qualified service personnel.
Electrical Safety
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this instrument uses a three-wire electrical
cord and plug to connect to earth-ground. Make sure that the matching wall outlet
receptacle is properly wired and earth-grounded.
• Never remove or install any circuit board, connect or disconnect any plug or cable,
while the power is ON. Always use the antistatic wrist strap located in the electronic
board compartment when removing or installing any circuit board.
• Do not place containers holding liquid on top of the instrument. If a spill occurs,
liquid may get into the instrument and damage electrical or mechanical components.
Safety Against Risk of Fire
Fuses protect certain electrical circuits within this instrument against overcurrent
conditions. For continued protection against the risk of fire, replace only with the
same type and rating specified.
