Safety Practices . 15
Electrical Safety
The Raman IdentiCheck spectrometer module comes assembled within a protective housing
to prevent exposure to electrical hazards.
WARNING
Removal of the protective housing or external panels is dangerous.
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
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 Raman IdentiCheck is powered by one external power supply unit. The power supply
unit can adjust automatically to a variety of AC power sources as outlined in Table 1.
Table 1 Power supply unit input voltages and mains fluctuations information
Input Voltage Mains Fluctuations

230 V AC ±10% of the nominal voltage
WARNING
Under no circumstances should you attempt to disassemble the power
supply unit and carry out repairs. If the power supply unit has a fault,
please contact your PerkinElmer Service Engineer. The entire unit must be
replaced.
Connect the power supply unit to a three-wire (live, neutral and ground/earth) socket. The
ground must be a non-current carrying wire that is connected to the earth ground at the
main distribution box.
WARNING
Check the line voltage and frequency of the power point (socket) before
the instrument is connected or the power is switched on.
