Instructions
Introduction
The Jencons POWERPETTE, POWERPETTE Plus and POWERPETTE have
been carefully designed and manufactured as lightweight, cordless pipetting aids for use with all
plastic or glass pipettes from 1– 100ml.
These new POWERPE T TES are constructed in recyclable materials and operate on two
rechargeable, long life, environmentally friendly, 1.2V nickel metal hydride batteries.
POWERPE T TES have uniquely formed finger triggers to minimize any high pressure points.
These triggers also control intake and dispense speeds.
A battery warning light (4) is triggered whenever the charge in the batteries is low and they
should then be recharged. Pipetting with POWERPE T TES can also take place while the units
are connected to their chargers (5).
POWERPE T TES have a conveniently located slide switch (3) which allows the user to select
between three modes of operation:
Slide switch position ‘High’ (top) Suction and dispense at full speed (Blow-out)
Slide switch position ‘Low’ (middle) Suction and dispense at reduced speed (Blow-out)
Slide switch position ‘G’ (bottom) Suction at reduced speed, dispense by gravity (To Deliver)

Safety Instructions
The POWERPE TTE, POWERPETTE Plus and POWERPETTE have been
designed with safety in mind. They are lightweight and balance safely in the hand. The triggers
have been carefully designed to eliminate pressure points and control of intake and delivery is
therefore made easier.
It is recommended when using deleterious liquids that the user wears protective clothing
including goggles and gloves. If in doubt ask your safety officer. Please consult and establish
appropriate health and safety practices applicable to the liquid being dispensed within your
working environment.
WARNING!
• Only use this instrument within the recommended limits of its chemical resistance.
• Never use with fuming liquids which are incompatible with polypropylene or silicone.
• Never use with highly flammable liquids.
• Observe the reagent manufacturer’s safety information.
• Never use the instrument in an atmosphere with danger of explosion.
• When not in use store on bench stand or wall bracket.
• Never use force when in use.
• Should the instrument fail to work to specification stop pipetting and check instructions
headed Trouble Shooting (page 7).
• Only recharge with manufacturer’s original charger.
• All repairs must be carried out by an authorized dealer.
• Only use the manufacturer’s accessories and spare parts.
• Charger must only be used indoors and protect against moisture.

Instructions
Recharging the POWERPETTE / POWERPETTE Plus / POWERPETTE
Before starting to operate, carefully check mains voltage and recharge batteries.
To charge the POWERPETTE / POWERPETTE Plus / POWERPETTE
1 Recharging temperature +10°C to +35°C.
2 Plug the charger jack (6) into the base of the POWERPE TTE.
3 Plug the charger (5) into a suitable wall socket. The red indicator on the charger will light up.
4 Place POWERPETTE onto bench stand.
5 Allow unit to charge for 14 hours from empty to fully charged.
6 Once the POWERPETTE is fully charged, the charger automatically switches to a trickle
charge operation and the red indicator will turn off. If the charge to the POWERPETTE is
interrupted and then re - started, the charger starts its full 14 hour charging cycle again.
This will not damage the battery.
Only use the charger indoors and protect against moisture.
Fitting the POWERPETTE wall bracket
The POWERPETTE wall bracket can be attached by removing the adhesive protective film
from the double sided tape and pressing firmly to a grease free smooth surface. Alternatively,
it can be attached using the two stainless steel screws provided. Care should be taken in
positioning the screws.
Fitting the POWERPETTE Plus / POWERPETTE
into the bench stand
The POWERPETTE Plus / POWERPETTE can be fitted in the bench stand in one
of the two positions shown. It can be charged in either position.

Instructions
Cleaning
Before cleaning disconnect from the mains charger. Do not clean the mains charger.
The POWERPETTE / POWERPETTE Plus / POWERPETTE can be cleaned
with most common laboratory disinfectants. The polypropylene nosecone (10) and silicone
pipette holder (9) can be autoclaved.
To remove the nosecone and pipette holder turn the nosecone anti-clockwise. When the nosecone
is removed the silicone pipette holder can also be disengaged from the filter by gently turning.
The hydrophobic filter (8) will require occasional replacement when wetted by the liquid and
whenever suction capacity is slowing.
Replacing the Filter
The hydrophobic filter (8) will require
occasional replacement, particularly
when suction capacity is slowing.
Note
Only use genuine manufacturer’s
recommended filters and accessories.
These parts are common to
both the POWERPE T TE,
POWERPETTE Plus and
POWERPETTE

Instructions
Pipetting
To aspirate
1 Carefully hold the pipette and insert it securely into the polypropylene nose cone and silicone holder.
2 Select mode of operation – High, Low, or ‘G’.
3 Depress upper trigger (1) (The harder the pipetting triggers are pressed the faster the
aspiration.)
To dispense
1 In BLOW-OUT mode, (mode switch on high or low) depress the lower trigger (2) (The
harder the pipetting triggers are pressed, the faster the dispense).
2 If ‘G’ gravity mode is chosen, the upper aspirate trigger automatically operates at low speed
while the lower trigger opens the pipette to atmosphere, allowing liquid to run out.
WARNING!
Please ensure that no liquid enters the instrument. The POWERPETTE /
POWERPETTE Plus / POWERPETTE should never be used without the filter (8).
The filter also prevents liquid from entering the instrument. Where liquid has entered please
clean and replace filter.
Trouble Shooting
The POWERPETTE / POWERPETTE Plus / POWERPETTE are virtually
service-free. If the recommendations above do not resolve the problem, please contact your
authorized dealer.
Note
When the meniscus level has been reached liquid should not drip out of the pipette. If the
pipette does drip, check that the adaptor assembly and filter are correctly assembled and the
pipette is properly located into the silicone pipette holder.
TROUBLE POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY
Filter blocked, dirty or damaged Clean or replace
Suction capacity slow membrane filter
Batteries low Recharge
Pipette not securely positioned Re-attach
Pipette drips in silicone pipette holder
Pipette holder or pipette damaged Replace
