Chapter 1 Important Notes
The following safety measures must be observed during all phases of operation, maintenance, and servicing of this instrument. Failure to observe these measures or the warnings and precautions indicated in this manual will likely undermine the safety standards for which the instrument was designed and manufactured and the intended scope of use of the instrument.
1.1 Instrument grounding
To ensure the personal safety of the operator, please use the power adapter provided by the manufacturer, which has a 10A three-prong grounding plug at the input end. When using the adapter, please use a grounding socket that matches the plug to ensure that the input power line of the instrument is reliably grounded.
1) Use of power supply
Before the instrument adapter is connected to the power cord, it must be ensured that the AC power supply voltage (100 to 240 VAC) and frequency (50/60Hz) are consistent with those required by the instrument adapter. When making the power cord connection, make sure that the instrument power switch is off. Do not touch the power switch and power cord with wet hands. It is prohibited to disconnect the power cord when the instrument is not powered off. It is forbidden to touch the power cord to the hot surface of the instrument. Do not clean the instrument when it is not disconnected. Please turn off the power when the instrument is no longer in use.
2) Power cord
The instrument should normally use the power cord supplied with it. If the power cord is broken, it must be replaced without repair. When replacing the power cord, it must be replaced with the same type of power cord of the same specifications. When this instrument is in use, do not place anything on the power cord, and do not place the power cord in a place where people move around.
3) Power cord plugging and unplugging
Power cord plugging and unplugging must be the correct handheld plug operating parts, plug insertion should ensure that the plug is completely, tightly inserted into the socket, do not pull hard when pulling out the plug, or yank the power cord.
1.2 Placement of the Instrument
1) The instrument should not be placed in a location where it is difficult to disconnect the power supply.
2) The instrument uses semiconductor cooling and fan-assisted heat dissipation, so when placing the instrument, ensure that there is no obstacle within 15cm around the instrument, and when multiple instruments are used at the same time, the distance between each instrument should be not less than 30 cm.
3) The instrument should be placed in a place with low humidity, less dust, and far from water sources (such as pools, water pipes, etc.), with good ventilation, no corrosive gas or strong magnetic field interference, and avoiding direct sunlight and strong light sources. The table where the instrument is placed should be horizontal and stable.
4) High ambient temperature will affect the testing performance of the instrument or cause malfunction. Do not use this instrument in the place of direct sunlight and strong light source to avoid affecting the fluorescence detection of the instrument, and should be far away from heating, stove and all other heat sources.
5) Turn off the power when stop working. When the instrument is not used for a long time, cut off the power, unplug it, and cover it with soft cloth or plastic film to prevent dust and foreign objects from entering.
1.3 Precautions
1) During the test operation, avoid liquid dripping on the instrument.
2) The consumables and reagents used in the test should be disposed of according to the relevant standards, and should not be discarded or dumped at will.
3) If there are hazardous substances in the test, related training must be conducted before using them.
4) After use, the hazardous substances should be handled and stored properly in strict accordance with the relevant regulations.
5) The test personnel who operate the instrument need to be trained and have relevant qualifications.
6) When handling toxic, corrosive or infectious substances, safety goggles and gloves must be worn.
7) It is strictly forbidden to touch the metal module when the instrument is running and for a period of time just after the operation to avoid burns.
8) It is strictly forbidden to open the instrument during the operation of the instrument, otherwise it will cause abnormal experimental results.
1.4 After-sales service
1) After receiving the instrument, please confirm the relevant content on the after-sales warranty card and contact the shipping unit if you have any questions.
2) After unpacking the instrument, please keep the packing box and packing materials properly for use when returning to the factory for after-sales service.
3) Before sending the instrument to the maintenance department, the instrument must be disinfected.
4) After the instrument is delivered to the maintenance department and unpacked, the maintenance personnel must disinfect the instrument immediately.
