The
Epi-White
button controls the white Epi-illumination light. Press the button to turn on Epi
illumination; press the button again to turn it off. Epi-illumination will automatically turn off
after 15 minutes, unless the hold button is activated. When the UV transilluminator switch is
activated, the white-white light is automatically turned off.
The
White Light Trans
button controls the white light transilluminator when installed
(optional). It will automatically turn off after 15 minutes, unless the hold button is activated.
The
UV Trans
button controls the UV transilluminator with full intensity. The transilluminator
will automatically turn off after 15 minutes unless the hold button is activated. For safety
purposes, this switch is subject to the following automatic controls:
•
It is turned off when the front door is open.
•
It is turned off when the drawer is open.
If the door or drawer is opened while the transilluminator is on, the blinking LED will
warn you that the transilluminator has been turned off. After the door or the drawer is
closed, you have to press the UV Trans switch again to turn it on.
Important:
For the purposes of band cut applications, it is possible to turn
on UV light with the drawer fully open. You must wear all possible UV protections,
especially for your eyes, when the transilluminator switch is turned on with the drawer
fully open. The UV shield has to be used but glass or mask and gloves are recommended to
block the UV radiations. This option is not applicable to the door.
Wichtig: Wer die Absicht hat, Banden aus dem Gel zu schneiden, kann bei eingeschaltetem
UV-Licht die untere Schublade oeffnen. Sie muessen Schutzkleidung und die notwendigen
UV-Schutzmassnahmen tragen, besonders Augenschutz, wenn der Transilluminator bei
offener Schublade eingeschaltet ist. Das Plexiglasschutzschild muss benutzt werden,
ebenso Schutzbrille oder Schutzmaske und Einmalhandschuhe, um sich vor der UV-
Strahlung zu schuetzen. Diese Moeglichkeit ist von der Geraetetuer aus nicht anwendbar.
The
UV Prep
switch is used to decrease the light output of the UV transilluminator. The UV
Preparative function is a lower intensity light designed to minimize the effects of UV exposure
on DNA. The Preparative mode is recommended for applications that require longer UV
exposure times. In order to activate the UV Prep switch, the UV Trans button must be on.
The
Hold
key disables the automatic shut-off of the UV and White light transilluminators and
the Epi-illumination; the lights will remain active until the hold status is cancelled. When the
Hold key is pressed, the orange LED lights, indicating that the Hold function is active. If
opening door or drawer (activating the UV interlock, which turns off the UV), you will need to
turn off the HOLD button before pressing any other switch.
The control panel has a second section that includes the buttons to run all the MZL functions
(see Lens control section below).
