Safety
Power to the DGGE systems is to be supplied by an external DC voltage power supply
that must be ground isolated so that the DC voltage output floats with respect to
ground. For any power supply used, the maximum specified operating parameters for
the units are:
Maximum Limits
250 VDC voltage
30
watts
power
80
mA
current
70°C ambient temperature
Current to the unit, provided from the external power supply, must enter the unit
through the lid assembly, providing a safety interlock to the user. DC current to the unit
is broken when the lid is opened.
Do not attempt to use the unit without the safety
lid. Always turn the power supply off before removing the lid, or when working
with the unit in any way. Follow safety precautions specified by the power supply
manufacturer.
Input Power: Mains to safety interlock
Depending on country of destination, input voltage from mains electrical supply are as
follows: 110-120VAC @ 50/60Hz/5 Amps or 200-240VAC @ 50/60Hz/5 Amps. Country
specific power cords or CE approved adapter kits are supplied with each system.
Warning: Do NOT turn on Heater/Stirrer until tank has been filled with buffer!
