The TransUV button controls the UV transilluminator with full intensity. The transilluminator will
automatically turn off after 15 minutes unless the Hold button is activated. For safety purposes, this switch
is subject to the following automatic controls:
• It is automatically turned off when the front door is open
• It is automatically turned off when the drawer is open
If the door or drawer is opened while the transilluminator is ON, the blinking LED will warn you that the
transilluminator has been turned OFF. After the door or the drawer is closed, you have to press the UV
Trans
switch again to turn it ON.
Important: For the purposes of band cut applications, it is possible to turn ON the UV
light with the drawer fully open. You must wear all possible UV protections, especially for your eyes,
when the transilluminator switch is turned ON with the drawer fully open. The UV shield has to be
used but glass or mask and gloves are recommended to block the UV radiation. This option is not
applicable to the door.
Wichtig: Wer die Absicht hat, Banden aus dem Gel zu schneiden, kann bei eingeschaltetem UV-Licht
die untere Schublade oeffnen. Sie muessen Schutzkleidung und die notwendigen UV-
Schutzmassnahmen tragen, besonders Augenschutz, wenn der transilluminator bei offener Schublade
eingeschaltet ist. Das Plexiglasschutzschild muss benutzt werden, ebenso Schutzbrille oder
Schutzmaske und Einmalhandschuhe, um sich vor der UV-Strahlung zu schuetzen. Diese
Moeglichkeit ist von der Geraetetuer aus nicht anwendbar.
The Prep UV switch is used to decrease the light output of the UV Transilluminator. The UV Preparative
function is a lower intensity light designed to minimize the effects of UV exposure on DNA. The
Preparative mode is recommended for applications that require longer UV exposure times. In order to
activate the UV Prep switch, the UV Trans button must be on.
The Epi White button controls the epi white illumination. Press the button to turn ON epi-white; press the
button again to turn it OFF. Epi illumination will automatically turn off after 15 minutes, unless the Hold
button is activated. When the UV transilluminator switch is activated, Epi White is automatically turned off.
The Trans White Light button controls the white light transilluminator when installed (optional). It will
automatically turn off after 15 minutes, unless the Hold button is activated.
If the Conversion Screen option is selected, place the ‘Conversion Screen’ on the sample area, select Trans
White Light
. It turns on the Trans UV.
