DNA Engine & DNA Engine Tetrad Operations Manual
The signal and power cables terminate in twist-lock plugs. To screw a
plug in, first make sure the power supply is not plugged into an outlet.
Press the plug into the socket, and twist it to the right. A snap will be felt
when the plug completely seats in the socket; a faint click is also audible
when the plug to the power cable fully seats.
The signal and power cables are joined at their power supply end by a
single connector that plugs into the power supply. This connector is
housed in a protective metal cage screwed onto the back of the power
supply.

Do not open the protective housing; there are no user-service-
able parts within.
Power Supply Requirements
The DNA Engine Tetrad requires 10A@200–240VAC, 50/60 Hz. The unit
is not designed to operate on the ordinary 100V–120V household power
commonly supplied in North America and Japan. The DNA Engine Tet-
rad can use current in the specified range without adjustment, so there is
no voltage-setting switch.
Environmental Requirements
The requirements for safe operation of the DNA Engine Tetrad are the
same as those of the DNA Engine (see chapter 3).
Air Supply Requirements
The air supply requirements for the DNA Engine Tetrad are the same as
those of the DNA Engine (see chapter 3).
Robotics Installation Requirements
Robotics installations of DNA Engine Tetrads require special attention to
airflow and air temperature. Typically in these installations, DNA En-
gine Tetrads and other thermal cyclers are crowded into a small area,
along with other heat-generating equipment. Overheating can quickly
occur when many of these machines are operating at once, unless pre-
ventive measures are taken.
Follow the procedures described in chapter 3 to ensure adequate airflow
and an air intake temperature of 31˚C or cooler. Air intake temperature
must be verified by measurement. If none of the troubleshooting proce-
dures outlined in chapter 3 are sufficient to ensure cool-enough air,
install ductwork to the front and rear air exhaust vents, to remove
exhausted air. Attach ductwork using the screws to the right and left
