2. Safety and Regulatory Compliance
Important Safety Information
Please read these instructions before operating the Labnet Enduro™ Gel Documentation Systems: Enduro
GDS II-302 and Enduro GDS II-365 (Cat. Nos. GDS2-1302 and GDS2-1365, respectively), and the Enduro GDS
Touch II-302 and Enduro GDS Touch II-365 (Cat. Nos. GDST2-1302 and GDST2-1365, respectively).
UV Safety Precautions
The Enduro GDS II and Enduro GDS Touch II systems come with a built-in ultraviolet (UV 200 to 400 nm)
transilluminator inside the system. Exposure to UV radiation can cause permanent damage to the eyes and
skin. The system enclosure confines the radiation within the system and shields the user from exposure. The
system is also equipped with a two-way safety interlock switch that automatically cuts off the power to the
transilluminator when the door is open during normal use.
Always wear UV-protective eyewear that is specified by the manufacturer as providing protection at the
wavelength(s) used, making sure that the eyewear protects any areas where radiation may come through
(UV sunglasses may not prevent UV radiation from coming in through the sides or around the lenses).
Always cover all skin that may be exposed to UV light, especially the face, neck, hands, and arms.
Always make sure that any UV protection devices (such as the safety switch on the light cabinet
apparatus) are working properly. If not, discontinue use until the device(s) are properly repaired.
Use only UV lamps in the transilluminator.
Electrical Safety Precautions
Be sure to take proper precautions when handling any electrical equipment. NEVER work on any live circuit,
fixture, receptacle, or switch. Safety rules you should follow whenever working with any electrical appliance
include:
Always shut off power at the main disconnect before changing a fuse.
Always shut off power to the circuit before repairing or replacing a switch, receptacle, or fixture.
Always tape over the main switch, empty fuse socket, or circuit breaker you are working on.
Always check that the circuit is dead before beginning work on it. Using a circuit tester or voltmeter can
help you determine this.
Always unplug any appliance before repairing it.
Protective Earth Terminal
The earth terminal, intended for connection to an external protective conductor for protection against
electric shock in case of a fault, is located on the inside of the back panel.
Hot Surface Warning
Under normal conditions, the temperature of the glass surface of the UV transilluminator is below 50°C and
safe to touch. However, if the system malfunctions, it is possible that the glass surface temperature exceeds
80°C. Please exercise caution when touching the glass surface with your hand when this occurs.
CAUTION
Because ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause serious
damage to unprotected eyes and skin, we recommend
wearing UV glasses or a face shield.
