Important Safety Information
Please read these instructions before operating the Azure™ cSeries imaging system.
UV Safety Precautions
The Azure™ cSeries system comes with a built-in Ultra-Violet (UV 200-400nm) Transilluminator inside
the system. Exposure to UV radiation can cause permanent damage to the eyes and skin. The system
enclosure confines the radiation within the system and shields the user from exposure. The system
is also equipped with a two-way safety interlock switch which automatically cuts off the power to the
transilluminator when the door is open during normal use.
The Azure cSeries imaging systems belongs to Class A equipment, and fulfills the limit values of table
3 but not table 4 of EN 61326:1997+A1+A2+A3. It may become necessary to defeat the safety lock or
operate the transilluminator outside the system for service. In this case, be sure to use the following
safety precautions:
• Always wear UV-protected eyewear that is specified by the manufacturer as providing
protection at the wavelength(s) used, making sure that the eyewear protects any areas where
radiation may come through (UV sunglasses may not prevent UV radiation from coming in
through the sides or around the lenses).
• Always cover all skin that may be exposed to UV light, especially the face, neck, hands, and
arms.
• Always make sure that any UV protection devices (such as the safety switch on the light
cabinet apparatus) are working properly. If not, discontinue use until the device(s) are properly
repaired.
• Please use only UV lamps in the transilluminator.
Electrical Safety Precautions
Be sure to take proper precautions when handling any electrical equipment. NEVER work on any live
circuit, fixture, receptacle, or switch. Safety rules you should follow whenever working with any electrical
appliance include:
• Always shut off power at the main disconnect before changing a fuse.
• Always shut off power to the circuit before repairing or replacing a switch, receptacle, or fixture.
• Always tape over the main switch, empty fuse socket, or circuit breaker you are working on.
• Always check that the circuit is dead before beginning work on it. Using a circuit tester or
voltmeter can help you determine this.
• Always unplug any appliance before repairing it.
Protective earth terminal
The earth terminal, intended for connection to an external protective conductor for protection against
electric shock in case of a fault, is located on the inside of the back panel.
CAUTION
Because U.V. radiation can cause serious damage
to unprotected eys and skin, we recommend to
wear U.V. protection glasses or face shield.
