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 and stage controller have been designed and tested in accordance with
PerkinElmer specifications and in accordance with the safety requirements of the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The microscope and stage controller
conform 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 and stage controller 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 and stage controller are unsafe, make them
inoperative. The microscope and stage controller may be unsafe if they:
•
Show visible damage;
•
Fail to perform the intended measurement;
• Have been subjected to prolonged storage in unfavorable conditions;
• Have been subjected to severe transport stresses.
The microscope and stage controller have 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%.
