System Requirements
Give attention to the following points before installing the Spotlight 150.
Electrical Requirements
The power consumption of the microscope does not exceed 75 VA.
The nominal power consumption of the spectrometer is 120 VA (65 VA for the Spectrum
Two).
The line supply must be within 10% of the nominal voltage. For example, 230 V ± 10%.
If possible, do not connect any parts of the Spotlight 150 to circuits that have heavy duty
equipment, such as large motors, connected.
If possible, do not use photocopiers, discharge lamps, radio transmitters, and other
equipment with large or frequent transient loads, on the same supply circuit.
Microscope
The microscope can operate on electricity supplies of 50 or 60 Hz and in a voltage range of
100 to 240 V. The primary fuse (2 A T, 250 V, part number 04970839) for the microscope is
in the drawer on the mains inlet connector.
NOTE: No voltage selection is required.
Site Requirements
A minimum bench space of 170 × 75 cm (68 × 30 inches) is required to accommodate the
microscope, spectrometer, PC and ancillaries.
To get the best performance from your Spotlight 150:
•
Place the Spotlight 150 in an environment that is relatively dust-free.
•
Make sure that the bench top is free from vibrations or mechanical shocks, and is flat
and level.
• Do not place the Spotlight 150 near to room heating equipment, for example central
heating radiators.
Leave a gap of at least 15 cm (6 inches) between any vertical obstacle and the sides of the
microscope to permit an adequate flow of cooling air.
