Biometra TRIO Safety instructions
Version 03_19 13
The use of oil between the samples and the sample block is not necessary to
achieve an improved heat exchange. However, if you still want to use oil, you
should use mineral oil. Do not use silicone oil.
Be careful to avoid crushing or pinching injuries when closing the device.
The Biometra TRIO may cause burns. The following has to be observed:
The thermal block, the samples and the heated lid reach high temperatures. There
is a risk of burns during contact.
Ensure that the lid is securely closed before starting the program! Do not touch the
heated lid!
The rapid heating of the thermal block can cause liquids to boil explosively. Always
wear safety goggles during operation!
Do not touch hot sample tubes or plates and do not open them or boiling liquid
may escape!
Only use plates and tubes that are suitable for high temperatures (up to 100 °C), fit
well into the thermal block (no shaking) and whose lids seal tightly!
2.6.2 Safety instructions: protection against explosion and fire
The Biometra TRIO must not be operated in an explosive environment. The Biometra
TRIO must not be operated with flammable, explosive or volatile substances.
2.6.3 Safety instructions: electrical equipment
Work on the electrical components of the Biometra TRIO may only be performed by a
qualified electrical technician in accordance with the applicable electrical engineering
rules. Life-threatening electrical voltages may occur in the interior of the Biometra
TRIO!
The following has to be observed:
Any work on the interior of the device may only be carried out by the customer
service of Biometra GmbH and specially authorized technicians.
The electrical components must be checked regularly by a qualified electrician. Any
defects, such as loose connections, faulty or damaged cables, must be repaired
without delay.
Before opening the device it must be switched off at the power switch and the
mains plug must be disconnected from the mains outlet!
The Biometra TRIO must be switched off immediately using the power switch (on
the equipment back plate) and the mains plug disconnected from the power supply
if any faults occur in the electric components.
Do not operate the device near sources of strong electromagnetic radiation (for
example, an unshielded, deliberately operated high frequency source), as these
may affect proper operation of the device.
