Mains connection
Information on the power consumption of the Mastercycler pro is provided separately (see Power supply on

• You need an earthed wall socket for the power supply of the Mastercycler pro. Use the supplied power
cable to connect the Mastercycler pro.
• The control panel is supplied via the Mastercycler pro and does not require an additional power supply.
CAUTION! Material damage from uneven work surface.
Position the device on level and stable work surface which is capable of bearing the weight
of the device. The device must not be placed on a trolley or at an angle.
CAUTION! Damage due to overheating.
Do not place the device close to sources of heat (e.g. radiator, drying cabinet).
Do not expose the device to direct sunlight.
Allow air to circulate freely by leaving at least 10 cm to adjoining devices or to the wall and
keep the underside of the device clear.
CAUTION! Connected devices may be shut down due to a power supply overload.
The total current consumption of the devices can exceed the maximum permitted supply
rating when multiple power sockets are used. In this case, the mains fuse interrupts the
electric circuit. The connected devices are shut down.
