Site Requirements
A suitable environment is important to ensure optimal performance of the
7100 Capillary Electrophoresis instrument.
Before you begin installation, check carefully that the place you have chosen
meets the requirements below.
Power Consideration
The instrument power supply has wide ranging capabilities and accepts any
standard line voltage in the range mentioned in Table 2 on page 21.
Consequently, there is no voltage selector on the back of the detector.
WARNING
The module is partially energized when switched off, as long as the power cord is
plugged in.

example a shock hazard, when the cover is opened and the module is connected to
the power.
• Make sure that it is always possible to access the power plug.
• Remove the power cable from the instrument before opening the cover.
• Do not connect the power cable to the instrument while the electronic box in the
back of the instrument is opened or side panels are removed.
WARNING
Incorrect line voltage on the instrument
Shock hazard or damage to your instrument can result if the device is connected to a
line voltage that is higher than specified.
• Connect your instrument to the specified line voltage.
