MPC-385 SERIES OPERATION MANUAL – REV. 3.21K (20201120)
of one or more MP-2x5/M electromechanical devices, host computer via USB interface, (see
the Technical Specifications appendix for more details).
Operational
Failure to comply with any of the following precautions may damage this device.
This instrument is designed for operation in a laboratory environment (Pollution
Degree I) that is free from mechanical vibrations, electrical noise and transients.
This unit is not designed for operation at altitudes above 2000 meters nor was it tested
for safety above 2000 meters.
DO NOT CONNECT OR DISCONNECT THE CABLES BETWEEN THE
CONTROLLER AND THE MECHANICAL UNITS WHILE POWER IS ON.
Please allow at least 20 seconds after turning the unit off before disconnecting the
mechanical units. Failure to do this may result in damage to the electronics.
Operate this instrument only according to the instructions included in this manual.
Do not operate if there is any obvious damage to any part of the instrument.
Operate only in a location where there is a free flow of fresh air on all sides.
NEVER ALLOW THE FREE FLOW OF AIR TO BE RESTRICTED.
Do not operate this instrument near flammable materials. The use of any hazardous
materials with this instrument is not recommended and if undertaken is done so at the
users’ own risk.
Do not attempt to operate the instrument with the manipulator shipping screws in
place - severe motor damage may result.
Do not operate if there is any obvious damage to any part of the instrument. Do not
attempt to operate the instrument with the manipulator shipping screws in place - severe
motor damage may result. When transporting the mechanical manipulator, be sure to
install the shipping screws supplied in their correct locations. Failure to do this may
result in damage to the motors.
Never touch any part of the micromanipulator electromechanical device while it is in
operation and moving. Doing so can result in physical injury (e.g., fingers can be caught
and pinched between the moving parts of the micromanipulator).
As with all microinjection devices, sharp micropipettes can fly out of their holder
unexpectedly. Always take precautions to prevent this from happening. Never loosen the
micropipette holder chuck when the tubing is pressurized, and never point micropipette
holders at yourself or others. Always wear safety glasses when using sharp glass
micropipettes with pressure microinjectors.
Do not handle the manipulator mechanical while the power is on and take care to
ensure no cables pass close to the mechanical manipulator.
