handling and lifting of this equipment.
Inspect the instrument for any signs of damage caused during transit. If any damage is
discovered. Do not use the instrument and report the problem to your supplier.
The instrument must be placed on a stable, level bench or table capable of taking its weight
with sufficient space around the instrument for ventilation to circulate freely.
Ensure your proposed installation site conforms to the environment conditions for safe
operation
o
Indoor use
o
5 to 40 °C
o
Maximum relative humidity 90% up to 31 °C decreasing linearly to 50% at 40 °C
Extremes of temperature may require recalibration of the unit for optimum performance
If the instrument has been stored in a cold environment then it should be allowed to come
to thermal equilibrium for 2 to 3 hours before operation so that start up calibration is not
compromised by condensation.
The equipment must be connected to the local supply outlet using the provided power
cables. It can be operated from 85 to 264 V~ 50 or 60 Hz.
Replace power inlet fuses only with the same type and rating as follows
o
For Deuterium/Tungsten units T 1.6 A H 250 V AC (Anti-Surge, High breaking
capacity)
o
For Xenon units T 1.6A H 250 V AC (Anti-Surge, High breaking capacity)
Power rating is
o
100 VA for Xenon units
o
150 VA for Deuterium/Tungsten units
The instrument should be positioned so that the power cable may be readily removed in the
event of a hazard or malfunction occurring.
Site the instrument in an atmosphere free from dust and corrosive fumes.
Use the on/off switch on the left hand side of the instrument. The instrument will
