Power Supplies
The RamanStation 400 and RamanStation 400F are powered by two external PSUs
(Figure 1). The PSU used with the spectrometer can adjust automatically to a variety of AC
power sources as outlined in Table 1. For information on line frequency and current please
review the rating plate on the PSU.
Input Voltage Mains Fluctuations
100 ̵ 240 VAC ±10% of the nominal voltage
Table 1 PSU input voltages and mains fluctuations information
NOTE: If you have a deep depletion CCD installed in your RamanStation 400, the instrument
will be powered by three external PSUs.
WARNING
Under no circumstances should you attempt to disassemble the PSU and
carry out repairs. If the PSU has a fault, please contact your PerkinElmer
Service Engineer. The entire unit must be replaced.
Connect the PSUs 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. The power points (sockets) for the instrument PSUs should be easily accessible for
when the instrument is serviced.
WARNING
Check the line voltage and frequency of the power point (socket) before
the instrument is connected or the power is switched on. This should be
carried out prior to the installation of the instrument and at any time the
instrument is plugged into a different power point (socket).
Power Cords (Between PSU and Power Outlet Socket)
The power cords supplied to connect the instrument PSUs to the power points (sockets)
should be appropriate for the country listed as the shipping destination.
WARNING
If the power cord is not appropriate for your country it must be removed
from use immediately and replaced.
If the power cord has any physical damage it must be removed from use
immediately and replaced.
To avoid electrical hazards, the ground pin on the power cord should not
be interfered with in any way.
