Power Supply Adapter

The power supply adapter must be plugged into the power grid. An IEC lead is provided.

IMPORTANT WARNING: Ensure that your power inlet (behind the power supply adapter) shows the right voltage 
corresponding to your area. Otherwise, switch it using a narrow blade screwdriver. This feature is not applicable 
for the Bioruptor® Plus (UCD-300) sold in the United States.

Attaching Cables

When connecting cables, always be sure pins are 

properly aligned. Note the indexing pins on the control 

unit cables for precise mating alignment.

Keep dot facing up. 

Once plugged in, secure 

by turning 90° clockwise 

until a click is heard.
