Safety Information

Avoiding Electrical Shock
The Power Source 300V Hi Amperage 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 Hi Amperage 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:
1.
NEVER connect or disconnect wire leads from the power jacks when the red
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.
