Chapter 1 Important Notes
The following safety measures must be observed during all phases of operation,
maintenance, and servicing of this instrument. Failure to observe these measures or the
warnings and precautions indicated in this manual will likely affect the basic protection
provided by the instrument. Also, this can undermine the safety standards for which the
instrument was designedandmanufacturedandtheintendedscopeofuseoftheinstrument.
1.1 Instrument grounding
To ensure the personal safety of the operator, please use three-prong grounding plug
provided by the manufacturer. When using the adapter, please use a grounding socket that
matches the plug to ensure that the input power line of the instrument is reliably grounded.
1) Use of power supply
Before the instrument adapter is connected to the power cord, it must be ensured that
the ACpower supplyvoltage (100to 240VAC) andfrequency (50/60Hz) are consistent with
those required by the instrument adapter. When making the power cord connection, make
sure that the instrument power switch is off. Do not touch the power switch and power cord
with wet hands. It is prohibited to disconnect the power cord when the instrument is not
powered off. It is forbidden to touch the power cord to the hot surface of the instrument. Do
not clean the instrument when it is not disconnected. Please turn off the power when the
instrument is no longer in use.
2) Power cord
The instrument should normally use the power cord supplied with it. If the power cord
is broken, it must be replaced without repair. When replacing the power cord, it must be
replaced with the same type of power cord of the same specifications. When this instrument
is in use, do not place anything on the power cord, and do not place the power cord in a
place where people move around.
3) Power cord plugging and unplugging
Power cord plugging and unplugging must be the correct handheld plug operating parts,
plug insertion should ensure that the plug is completely, tightly inserted into the socket, do
not pull hard when pulling out the plug, or yank the power cord.
1.2 Placement of the Instrument
1) The instrument should not be placed in a location where it is difficult to disconnect the
power supply.
2) The instrument uses semiconductor cooling and fan-assisted heat dissipation, so when
placing the instrument, ensure that there is no obstacle within 15cm around the
instrument, and when multiple instruments are used at the same time, the distance
between each instrument should be not less than 30 cm.

3) The instrument should be placed in a place with low humidity, less dust, and far from
water sources (such as pools, water pipes, etc.), with good ventilation, no corrosive gas
or strong magnetic field interference, and avoiding direct sunlight and strong light
sources. The table where the instrument is placed should be horizontal and stable.
4) High ambient temperature will affect the testing performance of the instrument or cause
malfunction. Do not use this instrument in the place of direct sunlight and strong light
source to avoid affecting the fluorescence detection of the instrument, and should be far
away from heating, stove and all other heat sources.
5) Turn off the power when stop working. When the instrument is not used for a long time,
cut off the power, unplug it, and cover it with soft cloth or plastic film to prevent dust and
foreign objects from entering.
1.3 Precautions
1) During the test operation, avoid liquid dripping on the instrument.
2) The consumables and reagents used in the test should be disposed of according to the
relevant standards, and should not be discarded or dumped at will.
3) If there are hazardous substances in the test, related training must be conducted before
using them.
4) After use, the hazardous substances should be handled and stored properly in strict
accordance with the relevant regulations.
5) The test personnel who operate the instrument need to be trained and have relevant
qualifications.
6) When handling toxic, corrosive or infectious substances, safety goggles and gloves
must be worn.
7) It is strictly forbidden to touch the metal module when the instrument is running and for
a period of time just after the operation to avoid burns.
8) It is strictly forbidden to open the instrument during the operation of the instrument,
otherwise it will cause abnormal experimental results.
1.4 After-sales service
1) After receiving the instrument, please confirm the relevant content on the after-sales
warranty card and contact the shipping unit if you have any questions.
2) After unpacking the instrument, please keep the packing box and packing materials
properly for use when returning to the factory for after-sales service.
3) Before sending the instrument to the maintenance department, the instrument must be
disinfected.
4) After the instrument is delivered to the maintenance department and unpacked, the
maintenance personnel must disinfect the instrument immediately.
