HiSeq 1500 and HiSeq 2000 Systems Safety and Compliance Guide
For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
This guide provides important safety information pertaining to the installation,
servicing, and operation of the HiSeq
guide includes product compliance and regulatory statements. Read this
document before performing any procedures on the system.
The country of origin and date of manufacture of the system are printed on the
instrument label.
System Configuration
The HiSeq system is shipped with a dedicated control computer that is
customized to system requirements. The computer is a dedicated subsystem of
the instrument and is not intended for use or supported as a general-purpose
computer.
For a list of components that are provided with the instrument, see the HiSeq
2500, 1500, and 2000 Site Prep Guide (document # 15006407).
Safety Considerations and Markings
This section identifies potential hazards associated with installing, servicing,
and operating the instrument. Do not operate or interact with the instrument in
a manner that exposes you to any of these dangers.
All of the hazards described herein can be avoided by following the standard
operating procedures included in the HiSeq 1500 System Guide (document #
15035788) and the HiSeq 2000 System Guide (document # 15011190).
General Safety Warnings
Make sure that all personnel are trained in the correct operation of the
instrument and any potential safety considerations.
Follow all operating instructions when working in areas
marked with this label to minimize risk to personnel or
the instrument.
Always exercise caution when the flow cell
compartment door is open. The flow cell area contains
components that could cause injury when the front door
is open.
When the door is open, the X, Y, and Z motors are
disabled by the instrument operating software.
Laser Safety Warning
The HiSeq 1500 and HiSeq 2000 systems are Class 1
laser products that each contain 2 Class 4 lasers.
Class 4 lasers present an eye hazard from direct and
diffuse reflections. Avoid eye or skin exposure to direct
or reflected Class 4 laser radiation. Class 4 lasers can
cause combustion of flammable materials and produce
serious skin burns and injury from direct exposure.
Do not operate the instrument with any of the panels
removed. When the front door of the instrument is
open, safety interlock switches block the laser beam. If
you operate the instrument with any panels removed,
you risk exposure to direct or reflected laser light.

Barcode Scanner Laser Precautions
A handheld barcode scanner that contains a Class 2 laser is included with the
HiSeq 1500 and HiSeq 2000 systems. The barcode scanner is a Class 2 laser
product. Do not stare into the visible-light beam of the barcode scanner.
Electrical Safety Warnings
Do not remove the outer panels from the instrument. There are no user-
serviceable components inside. Operating the instrument with any of the
panels removed creates potential exposure to line voltage and DC voltages.
The instrument is powered by 100–240 VAC operating at
50–60 Hz. Hazardous voltage sources are located
behind the left back panel, but can be accessible if other
panels are removed. Some voltage is present on the
instrument even when the instrument is turned off.
Operate the instrument with all panels intact to avoid
electrical shock.

Protective Earth
The instrument has a connection to protective earth
through the enclosure. The safety ground on the power
cord returns protective earth to a safe reference. The
protective earth connection on the power cord must be in
good working condition when using this device.
Fuses
Only Illumina Field Service Engineers are qualified to replace the internal
fuses. The power entry module includes 2 input fuses on the high-voltage
input lines. These fuses are size 5x20 and are rated for 10 Amps, 250 VAC, Slo-
Blo.
