Installation

Introduction

The Powerpette Pro has been carefully designed and manufactured as a lightweight, cordless

pipetting aid for use with all plastic or glass pipettes from 1–100 ml.

This Powerpette Pro is constructed in recyclable materials and operates on two rechargeable, long

life, environmentally friendly 1.2V nickel metal hydride batteries. Powerpette Pro has uniquely formed

ngertriggerstominimizeanyhighpressurepoints.Thesetriggersalsocontrolintakeanddispensing

speeds.

A battery warning light (4) is triggered whenever the charge in the batteries is low and they should

then be recharged. Pipetting with Powerpette Pro can also take place while the units are connected

to their chargers (5).

Powerpette Pro has a conveniently located slide switch (3) which allows the user to select between

three modes of operation:

Slide switch position ‘High’ (top) Suction and dispense at full speed (Blow-out)

Slide switch position ‘Low’ (middle) Suction and dispense at reduced speed (Blow-out)

Slide switch position ‘G’ (bottom) Suction at reduced speed, dispense by gravity (To Deliver)

Safety Information

The Powerpette Pro has been designed with safety in mind. They are lightweight and balance safely

in the hand. The triggers have been carefully designed to eliminate pressure points and control of

intake and delivery is therefore made easier.

It is recommended when using deleterious liquids that the user wears protective clothing including

gogglesandgloves.Ifindoubtaskyoursafetyofcer.Pleaseconsultandestablishappropriatehealth

and safety practices applicable to the liquid being dispensed within your working environment.

•Powerpette Pro pipette controller

Recharging the Powerpette Pro

Before starting to operate, carefully check mains voltage and recharge batteries. To charge the

Powerpette Pro:

•Plug the charger jack (6) into the base of the Powerpette Pro.

•Plug the charger (5) into a suitable wall socket. The red indicator on the charger will light up.

•Place the Powerpette Pro onto bench stand.

•Allow the unit to charge for 16 hours from empty to fully charged.

•Once the Powerpette Pro is fully charged, the charger automatically switches to a trickle charge

operation and the indicator light turns green. If the charge to the Powerpette Pro is interrupted

and then re-started the charger will begin its 16 hour cycle and will switch to a trickle charge

operation as above. This will not damage the battery.

•Only use the charger indoors and protect against moisture.

•Recharging temperature +10 °C to +35 °C.

Fitting the Powerpette Pro wall bracket

The Powerpette Pro bench stand is supplied ready to use as a wall bracket. When used as

abenchstanditisrecommendedthatthewallttingisremoved.

Instructions for Use

Pipetting

To aspirate

1. Carefully hold the pipette and insert it securely into the ASA nosecone (10) and silicone holder (9).

2. Select mode of operation–High, Low, for blow-out pipettes. ‘G’ for ‘to deliver’ (3).

3. Depress upper aspirate trigger (1) (The harder the pipetting triggers are pressed the faster the

aspiration).

To dispense

1. In BLOW-OUT mode, (mode switch on high or low) depress the lower trigger (2) (The harder the

pipetting triggers are pressed, the faster the dispense).

2. If ‘G’ gravity mode is chosen, the upper aspirate trigger automatically operates at low speed

while the lower trigger opens the pipette to atmosphere, allowing liquid to run out.

WARNING!

Please ensure that no liquid enters the instrument. The Powerpette Pro should never be used without

thelter(8).Thelteralsopreventsliquidfromenteringtheinstrument.Whereliquidhasentered

pleasecleanand/orreplacelter.

Note

When the meniscus level has been reached liquid should not drip out of the pipette. If the pipette

doesdrip,checkthattheadaptorassembly(7)andlter(8)arecorrectlyassembledandthepipetteis

properly located into the silicone pipette holder (9).
