Transilluminator Operation

Safety Precautions

When the UV Blocking Cover is not being
used, UV light may escape through the
holes dedicated to accepting the bracket
pins of the UV Blocking Cover.

Remove the black safety plugs from
their package

Insert the safety plugs through the
holes as shown.

Set-Up

Place the transilluminator on a level work surface. Be sure that an air space exists around
the bottom of the work surface. This space allows for the proper air circulation through the
unit.

Plug the female end of the power cord into the transilluminator. For 230 volt models, or
those requiring special power cord connectors, ensure that the proper configuration of male
connector or plug has been properly connected to the power cord.

Plug the male end of the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet. The proper
voltage of the transilluminator is found on the product information label. If using the
transilluminator with an imaging system, a jumper cable is required for connecting to the
darkroom. Refer to the imaging system documentation for additional instructions.

The transilluminator may be equipped with a UV Blocking Cover. This cover allows the user
to safely view and work with the gel/sample on the glass surface while the transilluminator is
on (be sure to wear protective gloves when working with the gel/sample during this process).
To install, remove the brown protective paper from the cover. Insert the bracket pins on the
cover into the holes on the front of the transilluminator.


If you are not using the transilluminator with an imaging system darkroom, do not operate the unit
