2.5.  Power supply 

 

 

A ground connection is available in the lab to assure the unit works correctly (yellow/green, green or 
bare  wire).  Do  not  connect  a  Milestone  unit  without  ground  connection.  Do  not  use  the  blue/white 
wire (neutral of power line). 

 

Power supply neutral has to be referred to ground. 

 

Power  supply  line  wires  (their  size  and  distance  from  the  switch  board)  used  in  the  laboratory  are 
compliant with the label positioned on the back side of our units. 

 

Plug/socket is visible during the normal use and easily accessible. 

 

 

Before  connecting  the  plug  to  the  laboratory’s  socket,  check  that  the  power  supply 
voltage of the unit matches the power supply line of the laboratory. 
Damages occur when wrong power supplies the instrument. 
The  power  supply  must  be  protected  by  a  residual  current  circuit  breaker  with  over 
current  protection,  residual  current  30mA.  Power  line  must  have  potential  earth 
connection. 

 

 

 

CONNECTING  CABLES:  Never  connect  or  remove  cables  when  power  to  the  unit  is 
switched on, this will avoid risk of damage. 

 
Connect the power cord socket in the HistosMATE plug and the power cord plug to main power supply 
socket. 
 

 

 

2.6.  Reagents 

 
Complete the set up with reagent, by providing at least: 
 

 

10L of cleaning reagent 

 

 

 

Main plug is considered as disconnecting device  
Equipment shall be connected to main socket outlet which is accessible and visible by the 
operator.  
Disconnect  main  plug  from  the  socket  outlet  before  setting  up  the  system  and  before 
cleaning. 

 

The above reagents must be onsite and available at time installation of unit.
