Installation

Introduction

The Powerpette Plus 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 Plus is constructed in recyclable materials and operates on two rechargeable, long
life, environmentally friendly 1.2V nickel metal hydride batteries. Powerpette Plus has uniquely
formed finger 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 Plus can also take place while the units are connected
to their chargers (5).
Powerpette Plus has a conveniently located slide switch (3) which allows the user to select between
three modes of operation:
Slide switch position 'High' (top)
Slide switch position 'Low' (middle)
Slide switch position 'G' (bottom)
