Switching on the Instrument
NOTE: Do not connect the USB from the instrument to the PC until after the software is
installed. See
Installing the Instrument in the Software
on page 47.
1. Insert the key into the laser power key switch on the rear panel of the
RamanStation 400 and ensure that it is turned to the ARM position.
The RamanStation 400 is supplied with two keys. One should be placed in the
instrument the other should be stored in a safe place. Replacement keys (L1323503)
can be obtained from PerkinElmer. A laser safety officer or Lab manager can control use
of the instrument with these keys.
2. If your instrument is fitted with a deep depletion CCD, connect the 7.5 V PSU
(L1323525) from the DD POWER socket on the rear panel to a mains power socket.
3. If your instrument is fitted with a deep depletion CCD, connect the Tygon tubing
between the water recirculator (L1323010) and the WATER IN/OUT connectors on the
rear panel, fill the storage tank of the cooler with deionized water and then plug in and
switch on the recirculating cooler.
For more information about the recirculating cooler, see the operating manual supplied
with the system.
