Cleaning or decontaminating the instrument

CAUTION! 

Before using a cleaning or decontamination method other than those recommended

by the manufacturer, verify with the manufacturer that the proposed method will not damage the
equipment.

Electrical safety

DANGER! 

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD.

 Severe electrical shock can result from operating the

Veriti

™

 Thermal Cycler without its instrument panels in place. Do not remove instrument panels.

High-voltage contacts are exposed when instrument panels are removed from the instrument.

Fuses

CAUTION! 

FIRE HAZARD.

 Improper fuses or high-voltage supply can damage the instrument wiring

system and cause a fire. Before turning on the instrument, verify that the fuses are properly installed
and that the instrument voltage matches the power supply in your laboratory.

CAUTION! 

FIRE HAZARD.

 For continued protection against the risk of fire, replace fuses only with

fuses of the type and rating specified for the instrument.

Power

DANGER! 

ELECTRICAL HAZARD.

 Grounding circuit continuity is vital for the safe operation of

equipment. Never operate equipment with the grounding conductor disconnected. Use properly
configured and approved line cords for the voltage supply in your facility. Plug the system into a
properly grounded receptacle with adequate current capacity.

Overvoltage rating

The Veriti

™

 Thermal Cycler has an installation (overvoltage) category of II, and is classified as portable

equipment
