it is damaged, the A.C. power line may not be repaired, but could be replaced by a new one
with same model and specification. 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,
but not the line, when you need to disconnect to the mains.
f) Requested Environments
The Thermal Cycler should be placed in a low-humidity, dust-free, and good-ventilation room
without caustic gas or powerful magnetic interference. In addition, water sources, such as
pools and water pipes, should be kept a distance from the Thermal Cycler.
Never cover or obstruct the openings of the Thermal Cycler, which are designed for
ventilation and prevent the device’s interior from being too hot. When a single device is
running, the shortest distance between its openings and the nearest object is 50cm; when
two or more devices are running at the same time, the shortest distance is 100 cm. Do not
place the device on a soft surface, for that will result in adverse ventilation near the device’s
bottom openings.
Too high temperature will lead to degraded performance or failure of the Thermal Cycler.
Therefore, the device should be protected against any kind of heat sources like sunlight,
ovens, or central heating equipment.
If the Thermal Cycler is set aside for a long time, it is recommended to disconnect the power
line to mains and cover the device with a piece of soft cloth or plastic to prevent dust from
entering.
Note:
Once one of the following events occurs, you are suggested to disconnect the
power line with mains, and contact the distributor or ask a certificated
maintenance personnel for help.
Liquid into the device;
The device sprinkled or drenched;
The device malfunctioning, giving off abnormal sound or odor;
The device falling onto the floor or its shell damaged;
Significant changes in the device’s performance.
