GeneAmp 5700 Sequence detection system

Electrical Requirements

Power

The electrical supply (4 electrical outlets) should have a dedicated 2.0-kVA power line and ground or a 2.0-kVA power line with a line conditioner or uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The electrical receptacle must be located within 1.8 m (6 ft.) of the instrument rear panel.

Location                    Volts (AC)                  Frequency

Japan                          100 ± 10%                  50/60 Hz ± 1%

USA/Canada              120 ± 10%                  50/60 Hz ± 1%

Europe (pre-1992)      220 ± 10%                  50/60 Hz ± 1%

EC                              230 ± 10%                  50/60 Hz ± 1%

UK (pre-1992)            240 + 6%/–10%          50/60 Hz ± 1%

Australia                     240 + 6%/–10%          50/60 Hz ± 1%

Grounding

Certain types of electrical noise are greatly exaggerated by poor or improper electrical ground connections. To prevent these problems, it is very important to have a dedicated line and ground between the instrument and building main electrical service.

Power Cords

The instrument is shipped with electrical cords that are compatible to standard electrical outlets as found in the United States, Japan, Australia, Europe (EC), and the United Kingdom (pre-EC).

Voltage Quality

Line voltage must be within ±10% or as specified above. High or low voltages may have adverse effects on the electronic components of the instrument. In areas where the supplied power is subject to fluctuations exceeding these limits, a power line regulator may be required.

Power Outages

The instrument has been designed to recover from short periods of power outage (loss) and continue operation, provided that the line voltage does not become excessively noisy before the outage. If increased protection during a power outage is desired, you may want to install an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). We recommend a capacity of 2.0 kVA . The UPS will involve a higher cost than a line conditioner.

Laboratory Environmental Requirements

Altitude

This instrument is for indoor use only and for altitudes not exceeding 2,000 meters (6,500 ft.) above sea level.

Temperature and Humidity

The laboratory temperature should be maintained between 15–30 °C (59–85 °F). The instrument can tolerate up to 80% relative humidity. Avoid placing the instrument adjacent to heaters or cooling ducts.

Pollution

The installation category (overvoltage category) for this instrument is II, and it is classified as portable equipment. The instrument has a pollution degree rating of 2, and may be installed in an environment that has non-conductive pollutants only.

Heat

The thermal output of the instrument is 5000 Btu/h (~1,500 W

Emission/ Immunity Statement

For European customers, any product marked with the CE label meets the European requirements for emission and immunity as defined in the EMC Directive 89/336/EEC and the Low Voltage Directive 72/23/EEC. This product meets Class A emission limits.

Laboratory Space Required

Dimensions and Weight

The GeneAmp 5700 Sequence Detection System requires at least 0.56 m (20 in.) vertical clearance and 1.22 m (4 ft.) horizontal bench space. The vertical clearance will accommodate the computer when its monitor is placed on top. This vertical clearance will also accommodate the sequence detector and thermal cycler, which mount on top of each other. The horizontal space will accommodate the computer, thermal cycler/optics, and a small electronics unit.
