Immediately upon arrival, please check carefully that the shipment is complete and has not been dam- aged in transit. For missing parts or to report any kind of damage, please contact PEQLAB (see 'TECH- NICAL SERVICE AND ORDERING INFORMATION'). Please retain all packaging materials until the de- livery has been completely checked, since this will speed up the return of good if required and reduce environmental impact. -

Page 9: Operational Keys
1. Check the label located near the AC inlet to ensure that the unit is compatible with locally pro- vided voltage. 2. Place the peqPOWER 300 Volt Power Supply on a level laboratory bench. Keep the area around the power supply clear to ensure proper ventilation of the unit. -
Page 10: Important Guidelines
We recommend that you carefully review these guidelines before operating the instrument. Important For best results, do NOT use the peqPOWER 300 Volt Power Supply at its maximum electrical load lim- its. Variations in buffer conditions can result in exceeding the power supply’s maximum voltage, current, or power output capacity and produce undesirable variations in electrophoretic separations. -
Page 11: Operational Modes
We recommend reading the guidelines provided in this manual for best results before starting an operation. 1. Use the power switch on the rear side of the instrument to turn on the peqPOWER 300 Volt Power Supply. The Display Screen will illuminate. -
Page 12: Choosing Limiting Parameter Settings
Discontinuous buffer systems and, to a lesser extent, continuous systems increase resistance during the run. If you use the current limiting setting on the peqPOWER 300 Volt Power Supply, the voltage will increase as resistance increases to satisfy Ohm’s law (V=I*R). If no voltage limit is set and a local fault condition occurs, such as a poor connection, very high local resistance may cause the voltage to in- crease to the maximum capacity of the power supply. -
