GeneExplorer Thermal Cyeler Operation Manual Important Notes

voltage required by the instrument (a deviation of 10% is allowed), and ensure the rated loading of the
power socket is no less than the requirement of the instrument.
D) Attention for power line
Generally, the instrument should use the power line supplied along with the instrument. In case of
power line damage, it must be replaced instead of repair. For replacement, power line of same type and
specification should be used. Don’t put anything on the power line when the instrument is being used.
Don’t place the power line in the place where people walk through. If the power line will contact thermal
surface when it is used, then protection measures should be taken to prevent insulation damage to the
power line.
E) Plug in and plug off
The plug must be held in hand for plugging in and plugging off. For plugging in, ensure that the plug
is completely inserted into the socket, and don’t pull the power line forcibly for plugging off.
F) Attention for instrument placing
The instrument should be placed in area of low humidity, less dust and far away from water source
(such as close to water pool or water pipe), and the place should be well ventilated and free from corrosive
gas or high magnetic field interruption. Don’t place the instrument in moisty or dusty area. Also, don’t
place the instrument in area making it difficult to operate the disconnecting device.
Openings on the instrument are designed for ventilation. To avoid over heating, don’t bloeck or cover
the ventilating openings. For single machine operation, the ventilating openings on the instrument should
be kept at least 20cm away from nearest objects. For simultaneous multiple machine operation, the distance
between instruments should be no less than 10cm. Additionally, don’t use the instrument on floppy surface;
otherwise the ventilating openings at instrument bottom may be blocked.
Over-temperature will affect the instrument performance or lead to faulty. Don’t use the instrument
under direct sunlight and keep the instrument away from heater, furnace and other heat source.
When the instrument is not in use for an extended period, unplug the power supply and cover the
instrument with soft cloth or plastic paper to prevent dust entering in the machine.
The equipment should not be installed on the surface of inflammable
materials!
G) Attention for operation
During experiment operation, avoid liquid dripping on the instrument.
When dealing with reagent, wear personal protective equipment such as protective gloves.
