48 . RamanStation 400 Series Getting Started Guide
Attaching the External Interlock Override
The RamanStation 400F has two interlock switches, an internal interlock located on the inside
of the sample compartment door, and an external interlock located on the rear panel. To
operate the instrument both interlocks must be satisfied, that is, the sample compartment
door must be closed to collect data, even if data is being collected using the fiber optic
probe.
You must attach the External Interlock Override (L1320264) into the 7 way DIN connector
labeled EXT INTERLOCK on the rear panel of the instrument.
If your laser safety officer determines that an interlock is required on the door to the room,
you will need to purchase the Raman Laser Safety Kit (L1320262). For more information
contact your PerkinElmer representative.
NOTE: If you have purchased a RamanStation 400 then your instrument is Class 1 and you
do not need to attach an external interlock override.
