2 SAFETY
During the operation, maintenance, or repair of the Thermal Cycler, the following safety measures
should be taken. Otherwise, the guard provided by the Thermal Cycler is likely to be damaged, the
rated safety level to be reduced, and the rated operation conditions to be affected.
The Bioer Co. shall not be in any way responsible for the consequences resulted from buyer’s not
observing the following requirements.
Note:
The Thermal Cycler, complying with the National Standard EN61010-2-010 :
2003 & EN61326-1 : 2006, is a general instrument of class
Ⅰ
, the protection
degree is IP20. It is intended for indoor use.
a) Grounding Considerations
A.C. power’s grounding should be reliable for fear of an electric shock. The 3-pin plug with the
Thermal Cycler’s power line is a safety device that should be matched with a grounded socket.
Never let the third ground pin floating. If the 3-pin plug cannot be inserted, it is recommended to ask
an electrician to install an appropriate power socket.
b) Keep Away from Electric Circuits
The operator is not allowed to open the Thermal Cycler. Changing components or adjusting certain
parameters inside the device must only be accomplished by the certificated professional
maintenance personnel. Do not change elements while the power is still on.
c) A.C. Power Considerations
Before turn on the power, always check if the mains voltage is within the required ~220-240V(or
~100-120V) and if the current rating of the power socket meet the required specification, i.e. 200W.
d) A.C. Power Line Considerations
As an accessory of the Thermal Cycler, the A.C. power line should be a default one. If it is damaged,
the A.C. power line may not be repaired, but it must be replaced with a new one. The power line
should be free of heavy objects during the Thermal Cycler’s operation. Keep the power line away
from the place where people gather regularly.
e) Connect the A.C. Power Line
While connect or disconnect the power line, you should hold the 3-pin plug with your hand. Insert
the plug thoroughly to ensure good contact between the plug and socket. Pull the plug, not the line,
when you need to disconnect to the mains.
