3.0 Safety Information

During the operation, maintenance, or repair of the Labnet Microtube Shaking Incubator, the following
safety measures should be taken. Otherwise, the safeguards provided by the Labnet Microtube Shaking
Incubator are likely to be damaged, the rated safety level to be reduced, and the rated operation
conditions to be affected. Labnet shall not be in any way responsible for the consequences resulting
from operator's not observing the following requirements.
Grounding
AC power's grounding should be reliable to safeguard against an electric shock. The 3-pin plug supplied
with the Labnet Microtube Shaking Incubator's power cable is a safety device that should be matched
with a suitable grounded socket. Never allow the third ground pin to be floating. If the 3-pin plug cannot
be inserted, it is recommended to ask an electrician to install an appropriate power socket.
Keeping Away from Electric Circuits
The operator should not open the Labnet Microtube Shaking Incubator without first consulting Service
Department. Changing components or adjusting certain parameters inside the device must be performed by
certificated professional maintenance personnel only. Do not change elements while the power is still on.
AC Power Considerations
Before turning on the power, always make sure that the mains voltage is within the range of required
power supply (±10% difference is allowed) and the rating current of the power socket meets the required
specification as shown in below contents.
