Getting Started
Installing

®
500
1. Place
the
PowerEase
®
500 Power Supply on a level bench. Keep the area
around the power supply clear to ensure proper ventilation of the unit.

On-Off
switch and the power cord
attachment module located on the rear of the unit are easily accessible.
3. Check the label located near the power entry module to ensure that the unit
is of the proper local voltage. Attach the power cord to the power entry
module. Use only properly grounded AC outlets.
Installing an
Optional Printer
The PowerEase
®
500 Power Supply has a DB25 parallel connector located on the
rear of the unit. This allows the PowerEase

of your electrophoresis results in ASCII format to most commonly available
printers.
Use the following steps to install a printer:

into the port marked “Printer” located on the rear of the PowerEase
®
500
Power Supply.
2. Connect the opposite end of the cable into the appropriate connector on the
printer. Refer the user manual of your printer for instructions on connecting
the cable to the printer.
