General Safety
The Spectrum RX I FT-IR Spectrometer has been designed and tested in
accordance with Perkin-Elmer specifications and in accordance with the safety
requirements of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The
spectrometer conforms to IEC publication 61010-1 (Safety requirements for
electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use) as it applies
to IEC Class 1 (earthed) appliances and therefore meets the requirements of EC
Directive 73/23/EEC.
If the instrument is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the instrument may be impaired.
Only use the Spectrum RX I indoors and under the following conditions:
Temperature

75% maximum (non-condensing)
If possible, avoid any adjustment, maintenance and repair of the opened,
operating instrument. If any adjustment, maintenance and repair of the
opened, operating instrument is necessary, this must only be done by a skilled
person who is aware of the hazard involved.
Whenever it is likely that the Spectrum RX I is unsafe, make it inoperative. The
Spectrum RX I may be unsafe if it:
•
shows visible damage;
•
fails to perform the intended measurement;
•
has been subjected to prolonged storage in unfavorable conditions;
•
has been subjected to severe transport stresses.
