DISLAIMER

The MP-225A system consists of one electromechanical micromanipulator device (MP-225/M)
and one ROE (Rotary Optical Encoder) with integrated controller (MP-225A
of the system is for the manipulation at the micro level of micropipettes and probes used in
conjunction with a microscope. No other use is recommended.
This instrument is designed for use in a laboratory environment. It is not intended, nor
should it be used in human experimentation or applied to humans in any way. This is not a
medical device.
Unless otherwise indicated in this manual or by Sutter Instrument Technical Support for
reconfiguration, do not open or attempt to repair the instrument.
Do not allow an unauthorized and/or untrained operative to use this device.
Any misuse will be the sole responsibility of the user/owner and Sutter Instrument Company
assumes no implied or inferred liability for direct or consequential damages from this
instrument if it is operated or used in any way other than for which it is designed.

SAFETY WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Electrical

 Operate the MP-225A system ROE/controller using 110 – 240 VAC., 50-60 Hz line voltage.
This instrument is designed for use in a laboratory environment that has low electrical
noise and mechanical vibration. Surge suppression is always recommended.
NOTE: There are no user-replaceable fuses in the MP-225A system.

The MP-225A system's power supply consists of an external AC to DC switching

power adapter. If the external power adapter is damaged due to a mains over or under
voltage, it must be replaced.
GROUNDING/EARTHING: Proper grounding protects the ROE/controller

electronics, reduces/eliminates electromagnetic interference, and improves the safety of the
system operator. The ROE/controller provides a socket (labeled GROUND) that accepts a
banana plug attached to a suitably gauged insulated wire, the other end of which (alligator
clip) connects to a solid, proper ground.

Avoiding Electrical Shock and Fire-related Injury

 Always use the grounded power cord provided to connect the system's power adapter to a
grounded/earthed mains outlet (3-prong). This is required to protect you from injury if an
electrical hazard occurs.
 Do not disassemble the system. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
To prevent fire or shock hazard do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.


Electromagnetic Interference

To comply with FDA and CE/EU electromagnetic immunity and interference standards; and
to reduce the electromagnetic coupling between this and other equipment in your lab always
use the type and length of interconnect cables provided for interconnecting the electro-
mechanical devices and ROE/controller (refer to Technical Specifications for more details).
