Unpacking
Check the contents against the packing list supplied. Inspect for any damage that may
have occurred during transit. Report any damage immediately to your local
GE Healthcare representative and to the transport company concerned.
Mains connection
Select the appropriate voltage range, 100–120 or 220–240 V, see Fig 2 inside front cover.
WARNING! If the power supply is connected to 220-240 V with the range set to
100–120 V, the instrument can be severely damaged.
WARNING! Only use mains cables delivered or approved by GE Healthcare.
WARNING! Do not block the rear panel of the system. The mains power switch must
always be easy to access.
Select the appropriate mains cable and connect one end to the mains socket on the
EPS 3501 XL power supply, see Fig 2 inside front cover, and the other end to an AC
grounded outlet. Switch on the power. Each time the instrument is turned on a self
diagnostic test is done. If an error is detected during the test a message will appear on
the display and an alarm will sound.
Connection of the electrophoresis unit(s)
Connect the leads from the electrophoresis unit (red to red, and black or blue to blue),
see Fig 1 inside front cover. The red lead is the positive and black or blue is the negative.
WARNING! Use only undamaged electrical wire and equipment approved for the
voltage you will use.
Two electrophoresis units can be run simultaneously with the same program. Please
remember to double the limiting current and power if two electrophoresis units are run
at the same time. The voltage will be the same regardless of the number of units.
