PRECAUTIONS

Failure to comply with any of the following precautions may damage this device.

Operate the P-97 using 110V a.c., 60Hz line voltage.

The P-97 is designed to be operated in a laboratory environment (pollution

degree II) and at temperatures between 5°C - 40°C.

The P-97 is designed to be connected to a standard laboratory power outlet

(overvoltage category II) with main supply voltage fluctuations not to exceed

± 10% of the normal voltage.

This unit was not designed to be operated at altitudes above 2000 meters nor

was it tested for safety above 2000 meters.

This unit was designed to operate at maximum relative humidity of 80% for

temperatures up to 31°C decreasing linearly to 50% relative humidity at 40°C.

Operate only in a location where there is a free flow of fresh air on all sides.

The fan draws air in through the vents on the sides and exhausts out both

ends of the heat sink. NEVER ALLOW THE FREE FLOW OF AIR TO BE

RESTRICTED.

Since the P-97 is a microprocessor-controlled device, it should be accorded the

same system wiring precautions as any 'computer type' system. If micropro-

cessor based systems in the lab require line surge protection for proper opera-

tion, then the same protection should be provided for the P-97.

Only use Sutter Instrument Company replacement heating filaments.

Failure to comply with any of the following precautions may result in injury to the

users of this device as well as those working in the general area near the device.

The micropipettes created using this instrument are very sharp and relatively

fragile. Contact with the pulled micropipette tips, therefore, should be

avoided to prevent accidentally impaling yourself.

Always dispose of micropipettes by placing them into a well-marked, spill-

proof "sharps" container.

Use only with glassware recommended by Sutter Instrument Company in the

following section of this manual.
