92 . RamanMicro 200 Series Getting Started Guide
Servicing the Spectrometer
We recommend that you do not remove the protective housing or external panels of the
spectrometer module except to clean the air filters (See
Cleaning the Air Filters
on page 91).
There are no other user-serviceable parts in the instrument. If you require an instrument
service, please contact PerkinElmer. Only PerkinElmer Service Representatives should
attempt to service the spectrometer.
WARNING
Removal of the protective housing or exterior panels on any instrument
will allow potentially hazardous Class 3B laser radiation to be emitted
and will invalidate the instrument warranty.
Maintenance and Service of the Microscope
The microscope is designed to be maintenance free and should not be opened or adjusted by
anyone other than a PerkinElmer Service Representative. Contact PerkinElmer if you have
any questions regarding maintenance or servicing.
The optical surface of all microscope objectives should be left free from debris. To clean the
lenses, wipe clean with alcohol soaked cotton swabs or lint-free tissues. For further
information refer to the documentation supplied with the microscope.
Damage to the microscope as a result of accident, neglect, misuse, or as a result of service
or modification by anyone other than PerkinElmer will invalidate the warranty.
Refer to the Olympus manual provided with your microscope for the replacement of the light
bulb.
Maintenance and Service of the Fiber Optic Probe
The FOP is designed to be maintenance free and should not be opened or adjusted by
anyone other than a PerkinElmer Service Engineer. Contact PerkinElmer if you have any
questions regarding maintenance or servicing of the FOP.
The immersion sleeve (if purchased) is manufactured with 316 stainless steel or Hastelloy C
and contains either a quartz or sapphire optical window that is sealed. The quartz window
can be removed for cleaning by unscrewing the end of the immersion tube. The sapphire
window cannot be removed as it is welded into place. If removing the quartz window, do not
lose the PTFE O-rings, as these are required to maintain the immersion seal. Without these
PTFE rings the immersion tube will leak and the FOP will be damaged.
The front lens or window on the fiber probe body and the immersion sleeve window should
be left free from debris. To clean simply wipe the fiber faces clean with alcohol soaked cotton
swabs or lint-free tissues.
Damage to the FOP as a result of accident, neglect, misuse, or as a result of service or
modification by anyone other than PerkinElmer will invalidate the FOP warranty.
NOTE: For details of how to maintain and clean a triggered fiber optic probe, see the
Raman
Triggered Fiber Optic Probe leaflet (L1321940).
