DISCLAIMER
The pipette puller Model P-1000 is designed for the specific use of creating micropipettes and
no other use is recommended.
This instrument creates items that should only be used in a laboratory environment for use
on animal tissues. It is not intended for use, nor should 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 without expressed and explicit instructions
from Sutter Instrument Company. Extreme heat and high voltages are present and could
cause injury.
Do not allow unauthorized and or untrained operatives to use this device.
Any misuse will be the sole responsibility of the user/owner and Sutter Instruments 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 P-1000 using 110-120 V AC, 60 Hz, or 220-240 V AC., 50 Hz line voltage.
This instrument is designed for connection to a standard laboratory power outlet
(Overvoltage Category II), and because it is a microprocessor--controlled device, it should
be accorded the same system wiring precautions as any 'computer type' system. A surge
protector and power regulator are recommended.
Fuse Replacement: Replace only with the same type and rating:
Type: 5 x 20 mm glass tube, Medium Time Delay (IEC 60127-2, Sheet III) or
Time Lag, RoHS compliant.
Rating: T4A 250V (Time Delay, 4 Amps, 250 Volts)
Examples: Bussmann S506-4-R or Littelfuse 218 004.P (or 218 004.HXP)
A spare fuse is located 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.
