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 plugged into an outlet that has been properly
installed and grounded. Consult a qualifi ed
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.
SAFETY INFORMATION
A minimum of safety considerations must be
followed when working with DigiPREP low
temperature blocks in order to maintain good
laboratory practice:
• Do not place the DigiPREP blocks on a surface
containing fl ammable material.
• DigiPREP block requires a clearance of three
inches (7.5cm) on all sides.
• DigiPREP block should be operated in a fume
hood.
• Do not place the DigiPREP controller in a fume
hood.
• DigiPREP system must be plugged into a
three-prong grounded outlet
