Safety Information

Avoiding Electrical Shock
The 250V Power Supply produces up to 3 A or 250 voltage outputs which are electrically
isolated from ground to reduce the risk of electrical shock to the user. Follow the guidelines
below to ensure safe operation of the unit.
The 250V Power Supply has been designed for use with electrophoresis cells with shielded
banana plugs thus minimizing any potential shock hazard to the user. VWR recommends
against the use of unshielded banana plugs.
To avoid electrical shock:
1. NEVER connect or disconnect wire leads from the power jacks when the red indicator light
at the Start/Stop key is on or when "RUNNING" is displayed on the screen.
2. WAIT at least 5 seconds after stopping a run before handling output leads or connected
apparatus.
3. ALWAYS make sure that hands, work area, and instruments are clean and dry before
making any connections or operating the power supply.
4. ONLY connect the power supply to a properly grounded AC outlet.
Avoiding Damage to the Instrument
1. For proper ventilation, leave at least 10 cm of space behind the instrument, and at least 5
cm of space on each side.
2. Do not operate the power supply in high humidity environments (> 95%), or where
