instrument as these are provided for ventilation and protect the instrument from overheating. Do not place the
instrument in a built-in rack or similar confined spaces unless the space has been specifically designed to
provide proper ventilation. Follow the mounting instructions for the instrument.
Ensure that the main switch as well as the plug of the power cable are easily accessible and located as close to
the operator of the instrument as possible. If it is necessary to disconnect the power supply, unplug the cable
from the power outlet.
The instrument is equipped with a three-wire electrical grounding-type plug that has a third pin for grounding.
This plug fits into a grounded power outlet only. This is a safety feature. Do not try to insert the plug into a non-
grounded power outlet. If you cannot insert the plug into the outlet, contact your local electrician to replace the
outlet. The instrument should only be operated from a power source that meets the specifications mentioned
on the product´s electrical ratings label. If you have questions about the type of power source to use, contact
your authorized Miltenyi Biotec service provider or local power company. Do not use extension cords or power
strips. Do not overload an electrical outlet.
Only peripheral devices that comply to UL 60950 are allowed to be connected to the RS232 connector labeled
COM. In addition, only connect original MultiMACS Cell24 Separator Plus equipment to the connectors labeled
module 1 and module 2, and connect only the MultiMACS Cell24 Separator Plus display to the connector
labeled display. Only use connector cables less than 3 m in length.
Strong magnetic field
The MultiMACS Cell24 Separator Plus is equipped with an extremely powerful magnet, the MultiMACS Cell24
Magnet. Moreover, the MultiMACS Display also contains powerful magnets.
There is a risk of severe personal injury for persons carrying pacemakers, brain shunts, or
electronic medical implants.
Keep any magnetic information carriers (such as credit cards, magnetic tapes and floppy disks), any electronic
equipment (such as hearing aids, pacemakers, cerebral shunt, measuring and control instruments, computers,
and watches), and magnetizable tools and objects at a distance of at least 20 cm from the magnet cover and at
least 30 cm from the MultiMACS Display. These items may be affected or damaged by the magnetic field.
Mechanical hazards
Keep fingers etc. away from all moving parts of the MultiMACS Cell24 Separator Plus to avoid
crushing and shearing injuries or damage to the instrument.
If an object has been accidentally placed under the down-moving magnet, the physical resistance of the object
causes the instrument to tilt backwards, similar to a hydraulic jack. Do not place objects on the MultiMACS
Cell24 Separator Plus. Leave a space of at least 20 cm distance above and behind the MultiMACS Cell24
Separator Plus to ensure that the instrument is able to tilt backwards, thus avoiding potential crushing and
shearing injuries and minimizing instrument damage.
Do not circumvent any safety device or measurement. Keep the proper respective Protective Screen
attached to the MultiMACS Cell24 Separator Plus when operating it manually.
For usage in a liquid-handling robot, removal of the Protective Screen may be necessary. When using the
MultiMACS Cell24 Separator Plus integrated into a compatible automated liquid-handling system, assure that
the combined system, i.e., MultiMACS Cell24 Separator Plus, MultiMACS Cell24 Magnet, and liquid-handling
robot, meets all requirements of safety and function before starting automated processes. Thereby, particularly
take the protection of the operator into account.
