General Operating Conditions
The RamanStation 400 and RamanStation 400F spectrometers have been designed and
tested in accordance with PerkinElmer specifications and in accordance with the safety
requirements of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The RamanStation 400
Series conforms to IEC 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 2006/95/EC.
Only use the RamanStation 400 and RamanStation 400F spectrometers indoors and under
the following conditions:
Temperature 15 °C to 30 °C
Relative Humidity 75% maximum (non-condensing)
WARNING
If the equipment will be used at temperatures exceeding 35
o
C, we
recommend that you contact your PerkinElmer Service Representative
and request a visit to optimize the instrument performance for such
elevated temperatures.
Avoid any adjustment, maintenance or repair of the opened, operating instrument. If any
adjustment, maintenance or repair of the opened instrument is necessary, this must be done
by a skilled person who is aware of the hazard involved.
Whenever it is likely that the RamanStation 400 Series is unsafe, make it inoperative. The
RamanStation 400 Series 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.
