MPC-385 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL – REV. 3.21K (20201120)
DISCLAIMER
The MPC-385-series system consists of one or two MPC-200 controllers, an ROE-200 user
control device, and one or more electromechanical micromanipulator devices. The purpose of
the system is for the manipulation at the micro level of micropipettes and probes used in
conjunction with a microscope. No other use is recommended.
This instrument is designed for use in a laboratory environment. It is not intended, nor
should it be used in human experimentation or applied to humans in any way. This is not a
medical device.
Do not open or attempt to repair the instrument. High voltages are present and inadvertent
movement of the micromanipulator electromechanical could cause injury.
Do not allow unauthorized and/or untrained operative to use this device.
Any misuse will be the sole responsibility of the user/owner and Sutter Instrument Company
assumes no implied or inferred liability for direct or consequential damages from this
instrument if it is operated or used in any way other than for which it is designed.
SAFETY WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Electrical
Operate the MPC-200 using 110-- 240 V AC., 50-60 Hz line voltage. This instrument is
designed for use in a laboratory environment that has low electrical noise and mechanical
vibration. Surge suppression is always recommended . If the system includes two MPC-
200 controllers daisy-chained together, surge suppression is strongly recommended.
Fuse Replacement: Replace only with the same type and rating:
T2A, 250V, 5 x 20mm, Time Delay fuse (IEC 60127-2, Sheet III)
(Examples: Bussmann GDC-2A. GMC-2A or S506-2-R (RoHS); or
Littelfuse 218 200 or 218 200P (RoHS))
A spare fuse is in the power input module. Please refer to the fuse-replacement appendix
for more details on fuse ratings and for instructions on how to change the fuse.
Avoiding Electrical Shock and Fire-related Injury
Always use the grounded power supply cord set provided to connect the system to
a grounded outlet (3-prong). This is required to protect you from injury in the event
that an electrical hazard occurs.
Do not disassemble the system. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
To prevent fire or shock hazard do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.
Electromagnetic Interference
To comply with FDA and CE electromagnetic immunity and interference standards; and to
reduce the electromagnetic coupling between this and other equipment in your lab always
use the type and length of interconnect cables provided with the unit for the interconnection
