Safety Summary
The Spectrum Two N FT-NIR spectrometers have been designed to comply with a wide
variety of international standards governing the safety of laboratory equipment. In routine
use, the instruments pose virtually no risk to you. If you take some simple, common-sense
precautions, you can make sure that you maintain the continued safe operation of your
instrument:
• DO make sure that the power supply is properly connected to the electrical supply; in
particular make sure that the ground (earth) is securely connected.
• DO disconnect the electrical power cable before opening any ports or covers on the
instrument, unless otherwise directed in the maintenance procedures described in this
manual, or in Spectrum, Spectrum ES or AssureID software.
• DO NOT open the main instrument cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the
main cover, and tampering with the seal will invalidate your warranty.
• DO keep the instrument dry. Avoid spilling liquid onto the instrument. Clean all external
spills immediately.
• DO NOT use a flammable gas to purge the instrument. The instrument contains a hot
source, and a fire or explosion will result. Only use clean, dry, oil-free nitrogen or air to
purge the instrument.

DO read the more detailed information on warnings and safety in the following pages to
ensure the safe operation of the instrument.
