Consort certifies that this instrument was thoroughly inspected and tested at the factory prior to
shipment and found to meet all requirements defined by contract under which it is furnished. However,
dimensions and other physical characteristics may differ.
The normal operating temperature should be between 0° and 40° . Never use the instrument in a room
with high humidity (>95 %) or at very low temperatures (condensation water!).

Manual Power Supplies
Very important
This electrophoresis power supply is a high technology instrument available in several versions. As it is
capable of giving dangerous voltage levels by which high power is involved, we suggest that you take a
few moments to read this manual thoroughly. Although this instrument is equipped with all necessary
safety features against abuse and other accidental failures, caution should be exercised when working
with high voltage equipment.
1. Avoid to tou h the outlets with any ondu ting obje t and make sure there is a second person
present for your safety in case of any severe electric shock.
2. Never touch any part of the assembly (power supply, leads or tank) before having switched off.
3. Never manipulate with wet hands.
4. Do not ground any of the outputs or the buffer in the tank.
5. onnect the outlets only to an insulated electrophoresis tank with safety cover.
6. Never make any other connections, such as e.g. putting several power supplies in series or in
parallel.
7. In order to prevent electric shock, never open the back plate nor remove the cover.
8. Do not expose the unit to rain or any other liquid.
9. Do not spill liquid or insert metal obje ts inside the unit. Take care so that the power supply is
not dropped to avoid damaging the cabinet which defeats safeguards or injuring yourself.
10. If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged, unplug it and have it checked by
an authorised service technician to restore the safeguards.
11. The fact that the unit operates satisfactorily does not imply that the unit is properly earthed or
that it is completely safe. If in any doubt about the effective earthing of the unit, contact a
qualified electrician.
12. Never blo k the ventilation holes or place the unit in any enclosure unless proper ventilation is
provided.
13. Never place the unit near or over a radiator, heat register or stove.
14. Avoid locations where the instrument is exposed directly to the sun light.

MANUAL
METHOD
SETUP
1. MANUAL
To start a regular procedure with fixed parameter limits for Voltage, urrent, Power and
Timer. See Manual Programming.
2. METHOD
To start a procedure with multiple steps to vary the parameter limits automatically while
running. This method also allows Voltage Gradient settings. See Method Programming.
3. SETUP
To modify the settings of the system, detections and data-logging.
Setup
Use this menu to preset the system settings of the power supply for language, display contrast, real
time clock, password, detections, data recording.

Manual Power Supplies
Dete tion
hoose DETECTION to alter the actions when a low current or a power failure is detected.
•Low Current
When a very low current is detected as soon as the Voltage limit has been reached, the power will
shut down the procedure. An audible error message will be given.
•Power Failure
When the detection of a power failure is enabled, the power supply will continue to proceed the
procedure if the timer was still running at the moment that the power failure occurred. After
powering it again, the power supply will automatically proceed with the experiment for the
remaining time.

Method programming
Method programming permits to store up to 9 different methods, each with 9 steps, of frequently used
parameters in the non-volatile memory for future recall. Each step is able to recall a next one, provi-
ding a flexible multiple step function for special techniques. The method mode also permits to program
a linear voltage gradient for any step provided the limiting current or power is not attained. Parameters
can be changed temporarily without interrupting the run.
1. Verify if the instrument is switched off.
2. onnect the electrophoresis tank to the instrument.
3. Switch the instrument on.
