WARNING: Do not attempt to perform any setup procedures while the system is plugged in or powered on
unless otherwise instructed.
CAUTION: Do not install the system in areas with high moisture, dust or high temperatures. Keep the
equipment away from motors or any other large magnetic equipment apparatus. This system is designed for
indoor use only.
Connecting the Power Cables
1. Plug the main power cable into the back
of the darkroom and the other end into a
surge-protected power outlet.
Note: Do not position the system so that it
is difficult to access the power at the back
of the unit.
2. Connect the jumper cord from
the darkroom to the back of the
built-in transilluminator.
Installing the Emission Filter
To install the 50mm square ethidium bromide (EtBr) filter or any other
emission filters:
1. Carefully remove the filter from the protective plastic case,
holding the filter at the edges to prevent placing fingerprints
on the glass surface.
2. The filter tray is located under the camera bracket at the top
of the darkroom. Slide the tray drawer open from the front.
3. Place the filter inside the filter tray with the filter positioned so
that the text on the edge of the filter is facing up.
4. Once the filter has been loaded, slide the filter tray back into
the system.
Additional and replacement emission filters are available through
UVP. Refer to the “Replacement Parts and Accessories” section of
this manual for ordering information.
