Optigene Genie III User Manual page 5

The instrument is electrically powered. Please ensure that the correct voltage
settings have been applied before applying power to the instrument. If in doubt
consult a qualified electrician. The instrument has a rating label affixed to the rear.
Please consult this if needed.
Always disconnect the equipment before moving or removing any guards or
covers. Switch off at the mains, remove the mains plug from the wall socket and
remove the cable from the inlet socket on the rear.
The instrument carries an IP60 rating. This means it is protected from total dust
ingress. This only applies when the lid on the top and the lip on the back are
closed. If fluids are spilt on the instrument when the lid is open they may cause
damage and cause an electrical hazard.
If a spill occurs, remove power from the instrument. Do not touch the
instrument or any fluid flowing from it while it is connected to the mains supply.
Always follow local health and safety guidelines.
Normal safe local operating standards should be applied at all times. The warnings above are
for guidance only. Please consult the instrument supplier if there is any doubt.
Disconnection Method
Genie® III is disconnected by removal of incoming mains power source to the
unit. Following disconnection the unit should be left for a period of at least 5
minutes before any internal assemblies are removed or examined.
When in use the heating block and heated lid are hot, so allow to cool before
touching the surfaces.
Safe removal of fluids from Genie® III will depend on the chemistry used. This will
also require knowledge of the fluids used in the system to adhere with local health
and safety and COSHH regulations. If in doubt, consult the person responsible for the
equipment in the laboratory.
