90W Power Supply produces up to 300 voltage outputs which are
electrically isolated from ground to reduce the risk of electrical shock to the user. Follow
the guidelines below to ensure safe operation of the unit.

90W Power Supply has been designed for use with electrophoresis cells
with shielded banana plugs thus minimizing any potential shock hazard to the user. Life
Technologies recommends against the use of 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.
ALWAYS connect the power supply to a properly grounded AC outlet.

the instrument
1.
For proper ventilation, leave at least 10 cm of space behind the instrument, and at
least 5 cm of space on each side.
