communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own
expense.
Section 3
Safety Information
The Cooling Module is operated in conjunction with an electrophoresis apparatus
connected to a high voltage power supply. Although those components of the Cooling Module
which are in contact with the electrically charged buffer are electrically isolated, certain
precautions should be taken to eliminate electric shock hazard.
1) The power supply should be off when connecting or disconnecting tubing.
2) The tubing must be firmly seated against the rubber grommets on the “FLOW IN” and
“FLOW OUT” ports to prevent accidental contact with the metal tubing of the heat
exchanger.
3) The safety interlock of the electrophoresis chamber lid should never be bypassed to
permit operation of the instrument without the lid.
