Power Cords

WARNING

Safety Information

Power Cords

Different power cords are offered as options with the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer. The female end of all power cords is identical. It plugs into the power-input socket at the rear of the instrument. The male end of each power cord is different and designed to match the wall socket of a particular country or region.

Electric Shock

The absence of ground connection and the use of an unspecified power cord can lead to electric shock or short circuit.

➔ Never operate your instrument from a power outlet that has no ground connection.

➔ Never use a power cord other than the Agilent Technologies power cord designed

for your region.

➔ Never use cables other than those supplied by Agilent Technologies to ensure

proper functionality and compliance with safety or EMC regulations.

WARNING

Operation

Ensure the proper usage of the equipment

The protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

➔ The operator of this instrument is advised to use the equipment in a manner as

Before the instrument is switched on, all protective ground terminals, extension cords, auto-transformers, and devices connected to it must be connected to a protective ground socket. Any interruption of the protective grounding will cause a potential shock hazard that could result in serious personal injury. Whenever it is likely that the protection has been impaired, the instrument must be made inoperative and be secured against any intended operation.

To operate the instrument safely:

• Do not remove any cover of the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer

• Avoid any maintenance of the instrument under voltage

• Do not let liquid drip into the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer. It could cause a

1 Safety Information

WARNING

Laser Safety

The Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer is classified as a "Laser Class 1" product (IEC825-1, CFR1040.10). During normal operation of the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer no laser light is accessible to the user.

When the laser is in use, the laser light source emits light at a power that may be harmful to the eyes. To prevent operator exposure to potentially harmful laser light, an interlock mechanism turns off the laser whenever the lid of the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer is not closed. Furthermore, the lid can't be completely opened and has a black light absorbing surface in order to prevent any potential laser light reflection.

Harmful laser light

The laser light source emits light at a power that may be harmful to the eyes.

➔ Never look into the beam or direct it towards someone else.

➔ System interlocks should never be disabled.

Chemical and Biological Safety

WARNING

Toxic and hazardous solvents

The handling of solvents and reagents can hold health risks.

➔ When working with solvents observe appropriate safety procedures (for example,

goggles, safety gloves and protective clothing) as described in the material handling and safety data sheet supplied by the solvent vendor, especially when toxic or hazardous solvents are used.

Pathogenic, toxic, or radioactive samples

Handling and use of pathogenic, toxic, or radioactive samples and of genetically modified organisms holds risks for health and environment.

➔ Ensure that all necessary safety regulations, guidelines, precautions and practices

are adhered to accordingly.

Safety Information

Chemical and Biological Safety

➔ Consult the laboratory safety officer for advise on the level of containment required

for the application, and proper decontamination or sterilization procedures to follow if fluids escape from containers.

To operate the instrument safely:

• Observe all cautionary information printed on the original solution

containers prior to their use.

• Because leaks, spills, or loss of sample may generate aerosols, observe

proper safety precautions.

• Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer covers have not been designed as bioseals for

aerosol or liquid containment.

• Handle body fluids with care because they can transmit disease. No known

test offers complete assurance that they are free of micro-organisms. Some of the most virulent – Hepatitis (B and C) and HIV (I-V) viruses, atypical mycobacteria, and certain systemic fungi – further emphasize the need for aerosol protection.

CAUTION

Power Considerations

The Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer power supply has wide ranging capabilities and accepts any line voltage in the range 100 - 240 V ±10% with a line frequency of 50 - 60 Hz ±5% (see also Table 1 on page 20 for more details). Consequently, there is no voltage selector in the rear of the instrument.

Damage through high line voltage

Connecting the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer to a line voltage higher than specified may result in damage of the instrument.

➔ Connect the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer to the specified line voltage only.

Page 17

Bench space

Site Requirements for the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer

Bench space

The Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer dimensions and weight (see Table 1 on page 20) allow you to place it on almost any desk or laboratory bench. It needs approximately 8 cm (3.1 inches) of clear space at the rear for air circulation and electric connections.

Page 18

2 Site Requirements for the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer

CAUTION

NOTE

Environment

Your Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer will work within the specifications of ambient temperatures and relative humidity described in Table 1 on page 20.

Condensation

Condensation will damage the electronics.

➔ Do not store, ship or use the instrument under conditions where temperature

fluctuations could cause condensation within the instrument.

➔ If your instrument was shipped in cold weather, leave it in its box and allow it to

warm up slowly to room temperature to avoid condensation.

The Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer is designed to operate in a controlled electromagnetic environment (EN61326/A1) where RF transmitters such as mobile telephones should not be used in close proximity.

In order to function properly, do not place the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer on a vibrating surface or near vibrating objects.
