Installation and commissioning Biometra TRIO

4.4 Installation Conditions
4.4.1 General setup
Place the Biometra TRIO Thermal Cycler on a stable surface in a dry, safe environ-
ment. For details see working conditions in table "Technical specifications" (see sec-
tion 18 p. 114 ).
Let equilibrate the Biometra TRIO Thermal Cycler to room temperature before start-
ing operation (1 to 6 h).
Make sure that the appliance connector and the plug of the supply cord are accessi-
ble, so you can separate the instrument from the mains.
Make sure that the ventilation slots on the bottom and the rear are not obstructed
(see Fig. 3 p. 24). Make sure that there is no object underneath the Thermal Cycler
that may block the ventilation slots at the bottom (e.g. a piece of paper etc.)
There must be sufficient distance between the ventilation slots on the rear side of
the Thermal Cycler and a wall or another instrument (min 10 cm).
In case of several cyclers side by side running simultaneously we would recommend
to keep a distance of at least 10 cm between every thermal cycler.
Ensure that both the rear and bottom ventilation slits of the rear and bottom of the
instrument are unobstructed. Insufficient ventilation can cause overheating of the in-
strument.
Make sure that the main supply voltage is in accordance with the label above the
power connection (see section "Operation Voltage" p. 21).
Connect the Biometra TRIO Thermal Cycler to a grounded socket.
Prior to connecting the unit to the power source, ensure that the voltage selector at
the back side of the instrument is set to the required voltage.
WARNING
Danger of electric shock! Unplug the power cable before you open the Biometra TRIO
Thermal
