DigiPREP Digestion Blocks
Version 16.0
OPERATIONAL PRECAUTIONS
DigiPREP block must be connected to a
controller that is properly grounded. In the event
of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces
the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape
wire for electrical current. DigiPREP controllers are
supplied with an electrical cord that has a grounding
wire with a grounding plug. Ensure that the plug
is connected into an outlet that has been properly
installed and grounded. Consult a qualified
electrician if there is any doubt about the existence
of proper grounding at the outlet.
DigiPREP block is designed to be lifted from
the bottom only. Ensure that the controller is
disconnected prior to moving the block. Do not
attempt to lift the block by the top white trim
as damage may result.
DigiPREP blocks are elevated-temperature
digestion systems with exposed hot surfaces. Be
careful around the instrument when it is in operation.
