Avoid spilling samples, reagents or any liquids into the instrument as fore-
ign objects and liquids may cause the instrument to short circuit or to set
on fire. In the case spillage does happen and it disrupts the function of the
instrument, hit the main switch and disconnect the power cord immedia-
tely. After taking these measures, contact your local maintenance team.
4.3 Placement of the Coag 2D
The Coag 2D is designed for indoor use. Do not place the instrument
outside or in an unsheltered area.
Make sure to position the Coag 2D where the main switch is easily ac-
cessible.
The Coag 2D must be placed in an area where it is free of moisture,
dust, direct sunlight, radiating heat, high humidity or any other damaging
effects.
Place the Coag 2D on a surface that is flat, still and has the adequate
weight capacity.
Place the Coag 2D in a room with good ventilation.
Make sure that there is no device that emits electromagnetic radiation or
electronic interference in the proximity of the Coag 2D, and avoid placing
it near electronic wires.
Do not place the Coag 2D near sources of flammable gases, such as
containers of oxygen, hydrogen or anaesthetics.
Only connect standardized devices recommended by the manufacturer
to the Coag 2D. Make sure that the cords used to connect such devices
conform to the manufacturer’s recommendations and are intact.
4.4 Electrical Network Requirements
Only connect the Coag 2D to an electrical network that conforms to the
parameters presented in this manual with a suitable power cord. To pre-
vent electrocution or fire, make sure the instrument is grounded.
Handle the power cord with care. To prevent electrocution or fire, make
sure not to put strain on or damage the power cord by placing heavy ob-
jects on it or unplugging it from the socket with extreme force. If the power
cord does get damaged, contact your local maintenance team.
