2 Safety
2.1 Definition of Symbols:
Caution: Read these operating instructions fully before use and pay
particular attention to sections containing this symbol.
Caution: Surfaces can become hot during use.
Caution: Danger! High voltage!
Caution: Fragile!
2.2 Safety Precautions
General Safety:
Use only as specified by the operating instructions, or the intrinsic protection may
be impaired.
The unit should be saved from shocks or drops.
The unit must be stored and transported in a horizontal position (see packaging
labelling).
After transport or storage in humid conditions, dry out the unit before connecting it
to the supply voltage. During drying out the intrinsic protection may be impaired.
The unit must be placed on a level, non-flammable surface away from flammable
materials.
Use appropriate vessels / tubes for temperature required. Ensure that the
operating temperature is less than the maximum operating temperature of your
sample material.
Clean the unit only with a damp cloth. Do not use chemical cleaning agents.
Before using any cleaning or decontamination method except those
recommended in this manual, users should check with the Biometra Service
Department that the proposed method will not damage the equipment.
Do not make modifications to the design of the unit.
The ThermoShaker TSC has to be used only with a power supply compatible with
the connection port and with similar electrical parameters like the included power
supply. It is highly recommended only to use this supplied power supply.

Electrical Safety:
Connect only to a power supply with a voltage corresponding to that on the serial
number label at the rear of the unit.
The TSC Thermoshaker has to be used only with a power supply compatible with the
connection port and with similar electrical parameters like the included power supply.
It is highly recommended only to use this supplied power supply.
Ensure that the mains switch and isolating device (external power supply) are easily
accessible during use.
Do not plug the unit into the mains outlet without grounding, and do not use extension
lead without grounding.
Before moving, disconnect at the power supply socket.
To turn off the unit completely, disconnect the external power supply from the mains
outlet.
Never fill liquid directly into the blocks (always use vessels).
If liquid is spilt inside the unit, disconnect it from the power supply and have it
checked by a competent person.
Disconnect the mains before removing the outer cover. Note there are no user
serviceable parts inside in the unit. (Warranty is void if cover has been removed by
user!)
During Operation:
Do not leave the operating unit unattended.
Do not impede the platform motion during operation.
Do not operate the unit in environments with aggressive or explosive chemical
mixtures.
Do not operate the unit if it is faulty or been incorrectly installed.
For indoor use only.
Do not operate the unit outside the laboratory premises.
Do not check the temperature by touch. Use a thermometer.
Do not touch surfaces which become hot during high temperature operation.
Do not put any hot blocks on inflammable surfaces.
To reduce the risk of eye injury during high temperature operation, use safety goggles
or spectacles.
Biological & Cchemical Safety:
