Avoiding Electrical Shock
Follow the guidelines below for safe operation of the unit.
The FlashGel™ Power Supply has been designed to utilize shielded wires thus
minimizing potential shock hazard to the user. Lonza recommends against the use of
unshielded wires.
To reduce risk of electrical shock:
1. In the event of solution spilling on the instrument, it must be dried out for at least 2
hours and restored to NORMAL CONDITION before each operation.
2. Never connect or disconnect wires loading from the power jacks when the red
indicator light of power switch is on.
3. WAIT at least 5 seconds after stopping a run before handling output leads or any
connected apparatus.
4. ALWAYS make sure that your hands, work area, and instruments are
clean
and
dry
before making any connections or operating the power supply.
5. ONLY connect the power cord to a properly grounded AC outlet.
