3.3 Safety instructions for transport and commissioning
Transport
The device is heavy. There is a risk of injury when lifting and carrying, especially from
unsecured parts.
¡ Empty the device and secure all loose parts, e.g. with adhesive tape. Close the lid.
¡ Only lift the device with two people. Position each person on opposite sides of the
device and firmly grasp the underside.
¡ Only transport the device in its original packaging. Insert all transport locks.
Ambient conditions during
commissioning
The device is dangerous if it is installed in an unsuitable environment.
¡ Design the installation site according to the requirements in the installation plan.
¡ The device must not be installed in an explosive environment.
¡ Ensure that the main switch of the device is always freely accessible.
¡ Keep the ventilation slits clear.
Electrical conditions
The device may be dangerous if the conditions for the electrical connection are not met.
¡ Only use the supplied power cable or a cable of the same size with a protective earth
conductor. Do not use an extension in the supply cable.
¡ Connect the power plug to a proper power outlet to ensure that the device meets
protection class I (ground connector). Do not invalidate the protective effect by the
use of an extension line which does not have a protective conductor.
¡ Check the electrical requirements of the device before connecting it to the mains.
¡ Set the voltage selector switch on the device according to the mains voltage avail-
able on site.
¡ Only connect the device and its system components to the power grid when they are
switched off.
3.4 Safety instructions for operation
Electrical hazard
Lethal voltages may occur in the device.
¡ Before each start-up, make sure that the device and its safety devices are in proper
working condition.
¡ In case of malfunctions of electrical components, switch off the device immediately
and disconnect it from the electrical power supply.
¡ Do not remove or bypass any protective devices such as the housing.
¡ Prevent liquid from penetrating the device.
¡ Do not use the device in environments with extreme humidity (>95%), or in loca-
tions in which condensation occurs.
Thermal hazard
During operation, there is a risk of burns on the sample block and on the hot samples.
During rapid heating of the sample block, samples can vaporize explosively. The hot
steam can cause scalds.
¡ Only operate the device if the lid is closed.
¡ Only use sample vessels, microtiter plates, adhesive foils, and caps that are suitable
for PCR applications.
Mechanical hazard
The device can tip over if the lid is pushed open quickly. There is a risk of crushing at the
lid.
¡ Open the lid slowly without pushing it open.
¡ Close the lid slowly. Make sure that fingers and hands are not trapped between the
underside and the lid.
