• 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 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.
• The equipment must be connected to the local supply outlet using the provided
power cables, compatible voltages are shown in the table below. Replace power
inlet fuses only with the same type and rating as follows

• 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.
• Ultrospec 2100 instruments have the on/off switch on the back of the instrument
on the right hand side. Ultrospec 7000/8000/9000 instruments have the on/off
switch on the left hand side of the instrument. Ultrospec 10, Novaspec III/Plus,
GeneQuant 100/1300, SimpliNano and NanoVue instruments have an on/off
button on the keypad – to disconnect power from these units remove the power
lead from the instrument. The instruments will automatically perform some start
up self diagnostic checks, please wait for these to finish before attempting to use
the equipment.
• The spectrophotometer may be fitted with a range of accessories for specific
applications. For the GeneQuant 100/1300 and NanoVue Plus these include a built
in printer, bluetooth or SD card accessory. The SimpliNano has an optional built-
in printer. The Ultrospec 2100/7000/8000/9000 have a range of accessories that
can be fitted in the sample compartment including a sipper, long path length cell
holder and thermostatted cell holder. Full instructions on fitting accessories are
within the instrument or accessory user manual.
