Usage and Maintenance
For personal safety and to prevent damage to the instrument, please review
the following safety precautions. All operators should be familiar with this
information.
3.1
Light Sources
Use only light sources supplied by ASD Inc. Light sources supplied by ASD
are designed to provide levels of illumination and stability of output that
complement the performance of ASD instrumentation.
•
Never touch the light source bulb and avoid contact with hot metal
components near the bulb! Heat transfer from the light source may make
these metal components uncomfortably warm to the touch.
•
Prevent dirt and oils from contacting the bulb and reflector.
•
Do not touch the glass envelope of the bulb. Oils on the hand may transfer
to the glass envelope, which can significantly affect the bulb temperature
and corrupt important operating physics of the bulb.
Note:
Please refer to the
ASD Accessories Manual
or the instructions for
that specific accessory for detailed information.
3.2
Access and Ventilation
When used inside, provide adequate room ventilation for the spectrometer.
Insufficient ventilation can result in overheating of the spectrometer and
subsequently corrupted data and possibly physical damage to the
spectrometer.
Do not cover the vents of the instrument.
Do not place objects on the unit or its power supplies. Prevent objects from
obstructing ventilation slits.
Keep objects and spills from entering or falling onto the instrument, power
supplies, and software disks.
