Very Important - Consort EV202 Anleitung

This electrophoresis power supply is a high technology instrument available in
several versions. As it is capable of giving dangerous voltage levels by which high
power is involved, we suggest that you take a few moments to read this manual
thoroughly. Although this instrument is equipped with all necessary safety
features against abuse and other accidental failures, caution should be exercised
when working with high voltage equipment.
• Avoid to touch the outlets with any conducting object and make sure there
is a second person present for your safety in case of any severe electric
shock.
• Never touch any part of the assembly (power supply, leads or tank) before
having switched off.
• Never manipulate with wet hands.
• Do not ground any of the outputs or the buffer in the tank.
• Connect the outlets only to an insulated electrophoresis tank with safety
cover.
• Never make any other connections, such as e.g. putting several power
supplies in series or in parallel.
• In order to prevent electric shock, never open the back plate nor remove the
cover.
• Do not expose the unit to rain or any other liquid.
• Do not spill liquid or insert metal objects inside the unit.
• Take care so that the power supply is not dropped to avoid damaging the
cabinet which defeats safeguards or injuring yourself.
• If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged, unplug it and
have it checked by an authorised service technician to restore the safeguards.
• The fact that the unit operates satisfactorily does not imply that the unit is
properly earthed or that it is completely safe. If in any doubt about the
effective earthing of the unit, contact a qualified electrician.
• Never block the ventilation holes or place the unit in any enclosure unless
proper ventilation is provided.
• Never place the unit near or over a radiator, heat register or stove.
• Avoid locations where the instrument is exposed directly to the sun light.
