Maintenance
The system does not require regular maintenance other than occasional checking and
cleaning.
Cleaning the Spectrometer and Power Supply Units
WARNING
Switch off the mains voltage and disconnect the mains cord before
cleaning.
You can clean the outside of the spectrometer using a soft, lint-free cloth, moistened if
required with a little water. Mild detergent may be used, if necessary. Do not use abrasive or
solvent-based cleaning materials. Always perform a patch test on an inconspicuous area
before you clean the entire instrument.
Avoid spilling liquid into the instrument or accessories. Clean all external spills immediately. If
anything that is spilled enters the main body of the spectrometer, make the instrument
inoperative and then contact a PerkinElmer Service Engineer.
WARNING
Do not directly clean electrical contacts.
WARNING
To avoid any electrical shock hazards, do not allow liquids to run down
into the external PSU. Also, do not allow liquids to run down into the
sample compartment of the spectrometer, the rear service panel (with
electrical connections, vents and fans) or the instrument control keypad.
Only use a soft, dry cloth to clean the inside of the sample
compartment, the sample compartment door, the rear panel, the control
keypad or the PSU.
To stop the air filter from becoming clogged up, the filter must be cleaned regularly. Unclip
the fan filter cover, remove the filter and wash thoroughly with warm soapy water. When the
filter is totally dry reassemble the filter cover.
