The FB200 is a high voltage power supply capable of generating dangerous levels of voltage and current during operation. Exercise caution when working around and with the electrical connections of this equipment. Always check electrical connectors, wires, and associated apparatus for any signs of wear or damage before using with this equipment. Be sure to use only electrophoresis equipment that is suitably rated for the voltage and current capabilities of the FB200 power supply.
The output of the FB200 power supply is intended for connection to electrically isolated electrophoresis apparatus only. Use only with electrically isolated electrophoresis apparatus with minimum isolation of 600V. Do not connect any terminal of the FB200 output to earth ground. This may impair the safety protection provided by the equipment, or cause equipment damage.
The high voltage output of the FB200 power supply takes some amount of time to decay when unloaded or lightly loaded. Wait a minimum of 60 seconds after stopping a run before touching the power supply leads.
This equipment has a protective ground leakage current of 0.5mA at 120VAC, and 1mA at 230VAC. While significantly below the 3.5mA limitation for laboratory instrumentation, some applications and locations require a leakage current below 0.5mA. Check the specific requirements of your application before using this equipment.
This equipment is for indoor use only.
