Safety Information 15
2.4.4 Mechanical
WARNING: The QuickPlex SQ 120 instrument weighs 44.5 lbs. (20.2 kg.). Be careful to use proper technique when lifting it
to minimize the risk of injury. Two or more people should lift from beneath the instrument. Please contact MSD
Instrument Service
before attempting to move the instrument.
WARNING: The QuickPlex SQ 120 instrument presents potential mechanical hazards. To avoid injury, do not touch any part
of the instrument while it is in operation. Do not place fingers in the plate stacker or the plate carrier when the instrument is in
operation.
WARNING: Moving parts of the QuickPlex SQ 120 instrument can be damaged or become misaligned when exposed to strong
mechanical force. As with any mechanical instrument, you should take certain precautions when operating the QuickPlex SQ 120,
including:
• Do not wear loose garments or jewelry that could catch in moving mechanisms.
• Operate the instrument with the cover intact.
• Keep hands away from pathways of moving parts during operation.
• Do not attempt electrical or mechanical repairs.
• Do not bump into or lean on the QuickPlex SQ 120 or place any objects on top of it.
2.4.5 ESD Sensitivity
The instrument contains sensitive electronics and can be damaged if it is exposed to electrostatic discharges in excess of 4.0 kV. While
the instrument complies with electrostatic discharge (ESD) standards for this type of laboratory equipment, MSD recommends standard
precautions to minimize ESD. In typical laboratory environments, electrostatic discharge should not be a problem.
2.4.6 Electromagnetic Interference and Susceptibility
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. The equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instruction manual, may cause interference, in which case users will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by MSD may void the warranty. The operator shall use any special accessories
provided with the equipment such as the power supply or shielded cables that are necessary for compliance with FCC standards.
CAUTION: The QuickPlex SQ 120 instrument has been tested for operation in a controlled electromagnetic environment.
Transmitters of RF energy such as mobile (cellular) telephones should not be used in close proximity.
CAUTION: To avoid interference from electrical transients, plug the notebook computer and the instrument into outlets on the
same circuit. If an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is available, plug the notebook computer and instrument into the battery
backup outlets. Please contact MSD
