Precautions
The following precautions are provided to help you avoid damaging the
system:
Caution: Service. The system should be serviced by authorized service
personnel. Only qualified technical personnel should perform
troubleshooting and service procedures on internal components.
Caution: Environmental Conditions. Do not expose the system to
temperature extremes. Ambient temperatures should remain between 15-
40°C. System performance may be adversely affected if temperatures
fluctuate above or below this range.
Caution: Sodium Hypochlorite. Do not expose any part of the instrument
to Sodium Hypochlorite solution (bleach) for more than 30 minutes.
Prolonged contact may damage the instrument surfaces. Be certain to
rinse and thoroughly wipe all surfaces.
Caution: Power Supply. Only use the correct line voltage when operating
the Automated Microplate Reader. A four-position line voltage select
switch is used to adjust for different line voltages. This switch is located
on the power input module. See the section Adjusting line voltage input
range in this manual for more details.
