Warnings and Precautions
When operated in a safe environment, according to the instructions in this manual,
there are no known hazards associated with the instrument. However, the
operator should be aware of certain situations which could result in serious injury.
Hazard Warnings
Warning! Power Rating. The instrument must be connected to a power
receptacle that provides voltage and current within the specified rating for the
system. Use of an incompatible power receptacle may produce electrical shock
and fire hazards.
Warning! Electrical Grounding. Never use a two-prong plug adapter to
connect primary power to the instrument. Use of a two-prong adapter disconnects
the utility ground, creating a severe shock hazard. Always connect the system
power cord directly to a three-prong receptacle with a functional ground.
Warning! Internal Voltage. Always turn off the power switch and unplug the
power cord before cleaning the outer surfaces of the instrument or changing
filters.
Warning! Liquids. Avoid spilling liquids on the instrument; fluid seepage into
internal components creates a potential shock hazard. Wipe up all spills
immediately. Do not operate the instrument if internal components have been
exposed to fluid. If the microplate appears to have been exposed to fluid, the
reading chamber may also have been exposed. To protect the incubator, remove
the top cover and clean the interior.
Precautions
The following precautions are provided to help you avoid damaging the system:
Caution: Service. The system should be serviced by Bio-Tek-authorized service
personnel. Only qualified technical personnel should perform troubleshooting and
service procedures on internal components.
Caution: Replacement Fuses. Use replacement fuses with the required current
rating and specification. Improper fuses or short-circuiting the fuse holders may
cause fire or damage the instrument.
