3 EPS-3000P-II(V) Manual Revision 2/10/14
Safety Considerations
Read and understand this manual completely before attempting to set up or use
this instrument.
This equipment has been designed and tested to conform to CSA1010 safety standards, as
applicable to laboratory instrumentation. This applies only to the EPS-3000P-II(V) when used
as specified in the documentation, in its intended applications, with CBS Scientific approved
electrophoresis apparatus only. Usage in any other manner may not provide similar performance
or safety protection.
This equipment is provided with a 3-conductor, grounded AC line cord. The protective earth
ground is necessary for safe operation. Do not use any other AC line cord with this instrument.
The EPS-3000P-II(V) 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 EPS-
3000P-II(V) power supply.
The output of the EPS-3000P-II(V) power supply is intended for connection to electrically isolated
electrophoresis apparatus only. Use only with electrically isolated electrophoresis apparatus with
minimum isolation of 3000V. Do not connect any terminal of the EPS-3000P-II(V) output to earth
ground. This may impair the safety protection provided by the equipment, or cause equipment
damage.
The high voltage output of the EPS-3000P-II(V) 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.
