2Warnings and Hazards
General:
If inflammable, toxic or biologically hazardous substances are used
when operating the equipment, please observe the instructions and
precautions enclosed with such substance.
Never spill fluids in or on the equipment.
Wash your hands thoroughly after handling test fluids.
If equipment has been in contact with hazardous substances, it must be
disinfected prior to shipment in accordance with the effective
provisions.
Do not touch the plate during movement of the plate transport (risk of
injury).
The equipment may not be opened other than as described in chapter
11 Maintenance, since it contains live parts (danger of life).
Electrical:
Voltages dangerous to human life are present in this device. Before
removing any covers disconnect the device from the power source.
Ensure that the power cord supplied with the unit is used.
The power cord may only be inserted in a socket outlet provided with a
protective ground (earth) contact. The protective action must not be
negated by use of an extension cord without a protective grounding
contact.
Do not replace fuses without first removing the main power cord.
Ensure that only fuses with the required rated current and of the
specified type are used for replacement. The use of makeshift fuses
and the short-circuiting of fuse-holders is prohibited.
When the apparatus is connected to the main power source, the
opening of the covers or removal of components is likely to expose life
parts. The device shall be disconnected from all voltage sources before
it is opened for adjustment or repair.
Any adjustment or repair of the opened apparatus under voltage should
be avoided, but, if necessary, it must be carried out by qualified service
personnel who are aware of the hazards involved.

Magnetic:
The removable plate carriage of this instrument has a very strong
permanent magnet mounted. Be sure to never bring any other magnets
or Ferro-magnetic parts near to the magnet of the plate carriage (risk of
injury).
Never place credit cards or IDs or any other items using magnet-code
(floppy disks, audio- or video tapes, ...) near to the magnet of the plate
carriage (risk of data loss).
Be careful when placing the plate carriage onto other sensitive medical
devices, which may be influenced by magnetic fields.

3Precautions
3.1 Cleaning the instrument
This instrument is a precision instrument and it requires regular cleaning
to ensure the continued precision.
Liquid Spills
If any liquid is spilled on the instrument, it should be IMMEDIATELY
removed so that the liquid does not attack the surface of the housing.
Regular cleaning
The housing of the instrument should be cleaned regularly with a mild
household cleaning agent.
Warning: Do not use aggressive solutions!
The area surrounding the plate carrier should be cleaned with a dry cloth.
Fittings and tubing
The usual wash buffer tends to crystallize easily on air and can then block
tubing and fittings. Use the automatic rinse program daily and do not leave
the tubing filled with wash buffer for an extended period of time.
