Warnings, safety, and warranty information
WARNING: Pinch hazard.
To avoid pinching and injuring an operator or causing damage to the equipment or the
BioProcess Container (BPC), use caution when opening and closing the door, securing
the BPC to the bottom port in the tank, or during operation of the DynaDrive S.U.B.
WARNING: Tipping hazard. The vessel should only be moved by pushing
using the provided handles or at the mid-point of the vessel.
If pulled or moved too quickly, the vessel can tip, potentially leading to damage to
equipment or injury to personnel. To reduce the risk of tipping, the vessel should only
be moved slowly over smooth, flat surfaces by at least two qualified personnel. During
movement, any locking feet should be retracted, and casters should be in the unlocked
position. The vessel should not be moved by pulling of any kind.
WARNING: The Thermo Scientific HyPerforma DynaDrive S.U.B. may not be
installed in a potentially explosive atmosphere as set forth in the applicable
EU ATEX Directive.
It is the responsibility of the end user to review and understand the potential dangers
listed in the ATEX 2014/34/EU guidelines.
Electrical connections
Power should be supplied by a non-GFCI 20 amp circuit. Ground faults occur
when current is leaking somewhere; in effect, electricity is escaping to the ground.
Electrocution can occur when the human body serves as the path for the
leakage to the ground. A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) senses the current
flowing to the ground and switches off the power (trips the GFCI) in a fraction of
a second at currents well below those that are considered dangerous. Due to the
sensitivity of GFCIs to electrical leakage (a few mA), it is recommended that DynaDrive
S.U.B.s are NOT plugged into a GFCI outlet.
Power outlet accessibility
For safety, the power outlet used to power the unit must be accessible at all times. In
case of emergency, you must be able to immediately disconnect the main power supply
to all of the equipment. Allow adequate space between the wall and the equipment so
that power cords can be disconnected in case of emergency.
