Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards
Class A notice
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Electrical safety
The following information on electrical safety must be observed, failing to follow these instruction may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury or death.
Service operation requirements
In the event of an equipment malfunction, it is the responsibility of the customer to report the need for
service to Thermo Fisher Scientific or to one of the authorized agents. For service information, contact
Technical Support (“Customer and technical support”
Servicing of this device is to be performed by trained service pe rsonnel only.
• Prior to switching on the product, ensure that the nominal voltage setting on the product matches
the nominal voltage of the AC supply network.
• This product should be connected to the power mains using a 3-wire (two conductors and ground)
power cable and plug. Use this power cable with a properly grounded electrical outlet to avoid
electrical shock.
• If extension cords or connector strips are implemented, they must be checked on a regular basis to
ensure that they are safe to use.
• The appliance coupler of the connecting cable is regarded as the disconnecting device. In
such cases, always ensure that the power plug is easily reachable and accessible at all times
(corresponding to the length of connecting cable, approx. 2 m).
• Never use the product if the power cable is damaged. Check the power cable on a regular basis to
ensure that it is in proper operating condition. By taking appropriate safety measures and carefully
laying the power cable, you can ensure that the cable will not be damaged and that no one can be
hurt by, for example, tripping over the cable or suffering an electric shock.
• Do not insert the plug into sockets that are dusty or dirty. Insert the plug firmly and all the way into
the socket. Otherwise, sparks that result in fire and/or injuries may occur.
• Do not overload any sockets, extension cords or connector strips; doing so can cause fire or
electric shocks.
• Ensure that the connections with information technology equipment, e.g. PCs or other industrial
computers, comply with the IEC60950-1/EN60950-1, IEC61010-1/EN 61010-1, or IEC 62368-1/EN
62368-1 standards that apply in each case.
