NOTICE: The charger's plug must be inserted in a socket that is easy to reach and from which it
can be easily unplugged in case of emergency.
Warning! Use of incorrect power supply units may result in fatal injuries and damage
to the device.
Use of incorrect power supply units may results in
overheating, burning, melting, short-circuiting of the
Thermo Scientifi c Finnpipette Novus pipette or similar
damage.
Only use the supplied power supply unit for charging the
pipette. You can recognize the correct power supply by the
Thermo Scientifi c logo and the pipette name on the power supply unit.
Do not charge the pipette in a hot location (>40°C)
Installing the battery
NOTE: If the pipette is supplied with the battery attached the below
installation is not needed.
- Check, that the battery wires are as shown in the picture.
NOTE: Do not remove the tape that is holding the wires
- Slide in the battery (label side visible)
- Connect the battery connector.
- Ensure that the wires are fl at, not twisted
- Attach the battery lid as shown in the picture
Charging the battery
Warning: Use only the original Finnpipette Novus charger and battery pack.
The pipette battery may be empty when delivered and must be charged before initial use. Connect
the lead of charger to the socket on the back of pipette. Then connect the charger to an AC wall
socket. If the battery is completely empty, it may take a few minutes before the pipette will turn
on. You can use the pipette while the charger is connected. The charging time is typically less
than one hour. An indicator in the LCD display shows the charge level of the battery. When the
indicator shows empty battery, pipetting is no more possible, and the pipette has to be charged
again. To extend battery life cycle, it's recommended to charge the pipette every two months even
if/ even though the pipette is not used daily. A typical Finnpipette Novus battery lasts for around
500 charging cycles. Please note that an old battery can cause the pipette to malfunction. We
recommend that you change the battery every 3 years.
Adjusting the trigger position
The index fi nger operated trigger, which activates the piston movement, can be adjusted by rotating it
60 degrees to both directions of the center position. Usually right handed operators turn it left (counter
clockwise) to get the best possible position for the thumb to eject the tip. See picture on page 6.
Tip ejection
To help eliminate the risk of contamination, each pipette is fi tted with a tip ejector system.
The tip ejector system consists of a soft-touch tip ejector and specially designed gearing
mechanism. To release the tip, point the pipette at suitable waste receptacle and press the tip
ejector with your thumb.
Shelf hanger
You can attach the pipette shelf hanger on a counter, pipette stand or anywhere where you want to
hang your pipette. Clean the area where you plan to attach the shelf hanger. Apply two stickers to
the underside of the shelf hanger. Press the shelf hanger fi rmly into place — on a shelf, countertop
or pipette stand. To use, hang the grippy fi nger rest on the shelf hanger.
