Retain the original packaging and packing material for future
transportation. The packaging is designed to assure safe transport and
minimize transit damage. Use of alternative packaging materials may
invalidate the warranty. Also retain all instrument-related
documentation provided by the manufacturer for future use.
Check the enclosed packing list against order. Visually inspect the
transport package, the instrument and the accessories for any possible
transport damage. If any parts are damaged, contact your local Thermo
Fisher Scientific representative or Thermo Fisher Scientific Oy.
When you set up your KingFisher Duo, avoid sites of operation with
excess dust, vibrations, strong magnetic fields, direct sunlight or UV
light, draft, excessive moisture or large temperature fluctuations. Place
the instrument on a normal laboratory bench. Make sure that:
●
The working area is flat, dry, clean and vibration-proof and leaves
additional room for accessories, cables, and reagent bottles.
●
There is at least 10 cm on the laboratory bench of free space around
the instrument for ventilation.
●
The ambient air is clean and free of corrosive vapors, smoke and
dust.
●
The ambient temperature range is b5°C (41°F) and +40°C
(104°F).
●
The humidity is low so that condensation does not occur (relative
humidity is between 10% and 80%).
Install the KingFisher Duo in a protected location where no one can
step on or trip over the power cord, and where the power cord remains
accessible if the unit needs to be unplugged.
Caution Do not operate the instrument in an environment where
potentially damaging liquids or gases are present. ▲
●
Always ensure that the local supply voltage in the laboratory
conforms to that specified on the type label on the back of the
instrument (Figure 2–4).
●
Do not smoke, eat or drink while using the KingFisher Duo.
●
Wash your hands thoroughly after handling test fluids.
●
Observe normal laboratory procedures for handling potentially
dangerous samples.
