General Operating Conditions
For information about the spectrometer, refer to the User’s Guide supplied with the
instrument. The
IR & Raman Manuals CD
(L1050002) includes instrument manuals for the
Frontier IR Systems, Spectrum 400 Series and Spectrum 100 Series spectrometers.
The microscope has been designed and tested in accordance with PerkinElmer specifications
and in accordance with the safety requirements of the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC). The microscope conforms to IEC publication 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 low
voltage directive 2006/95/EC.
Only use the microscope indoors and under the following conditions:
Temperature 15 °C to 35 °C
Relative humidity 80% maximum (non-condensing)
If possible, avoid any adjustment, maintenance and repair of the opened, operating
instrument. If any adjustment, maintenance and 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 microscope is unsafe, make it inoperative. The microscope 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.
The microscope has been designed to be safe under the following conditions:
• Indoor use;
• Altitude up to 2000 m;
•
Ambient temperatures of 5 °C to 40 °C;
•
A maximum ambient relative humidity of 80% for temperatures up to 31 °C decreasing
linearly to 50% relative humidity at 40 °C;
• Mains fluctuations not exceeding ±10% of the nominal voltage. For example, 230 V ± 10%.
