Safety Information

Avoiding Electrical Shock
The Power Source 300V Power Supply produces an output of up to 300 volts which
are electrically isolated from ground to reduce the risk of electrical shock to the user.
Please follow the guidelines below, and read this manual in it's entirety to ensure safe
operation of the unit.
The 300V Power Supply has been designed for use with electrophoresis gel box
systems with shielded banana plugs thus minimizing any potential shock hazard to
the user. Always use gel box systems that are compatible with the Power Supply,
have been designed for your specific applications, and are suitable for the voltage and
current range of the Power Supply. Always use gel box systems that have safety lids
to prevent accidental electric shocks to the user. VWR recommends against the use
of gel box systems and/or power leads that have unshielded banana plugs.
To avoid electrical shock:
NEVER connect or disconnect wire leads from the power jacks when the red
1.
indicator light at the Start/Stop key is on or when "RUNNING" is displayed on the
screen.
2. WAIT at least 5 seconds after stopping a run before handling output leads or
connected apparatus.
3. ALWAYS make sure that hands, work area, and instruments are clean and dry
before making any connections or operating the power supply.
4. ONLY connect the power supply to a properly grounded AC outlet.
