Safety Practices . 15
Electrical Safety
The spectrometer comes assembled within a protective housing to prevent exposure to
electrical hazards. There are also a number of exterior service panels that should only be
removed by PerkinElmer Service Engineers.
WARNING
Removal of the protective housing or external panels, other than for
maintenance procedures specifically described in this manual, is
dangerous and is not recommended under any circumstances.
If the protective covers or service panels on the instrument appear to be
damaged, turn the instrument off, secure the instrument against any
unauthorized operation and contact PerkinElmer for advice before using it
again.
WARNING
Electrical hazard
To prevent potential injury to yourself and damage to the instrument,
switch OFF all components in the system and disconnect them from the
line power supply before you alter, or make any new, electrical
connections.
Electrical Protection
Insulation: Class I rating for external circuits. Only connect equipment that meets the
requirements of IEC 61010-1, IEC 60950 or equivalent standards.
Power Supplies
The RamanStation 400 Series instruments and the stage control box (for motorized XYZ
stage only) are each powered by an external PSU. The PSUs used with the spectrometer
(Table 1) and stage controller box can adjust automatically to a variety of AC power sources.

Input Voltage Mains Fluctuations
100–230 V AC ±10% of the nominal voltage
NOTE: If you have a deep depletion CCD installed in your RamanStation 400 Series, the
instrument will be powered by two external PSUs.
WARNING
Under no circumstances should you attempt to disassemble the PSU and
carry out repairs. If the PSU has a fault, please contact your PerkinElmer
Service Engineer. The entire unit must be replaced.
