Electrical Safety
The imager 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 imager and stage controller conform to
IEC 61010-1 (Safety Requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and
laboratory use) as it applies to IEC Class 1 (earthed) appliances and therefore meet the
requirements of EC low voltage directive 2006/95/EC.
The imager and stage controller must only be connected to equipment meeting the
requirements of IEC 61010-1 (Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement,
control and laboratory use – general requirements) or IEC 60950 (Safety of information
technology equipment).
Connect the imager and stage controller to a power supply line that includes a switch or
other adequate means of disconnection from the electricity supply.
Plug the imager and stage controller only into electricity supply sockets that are provided
with a protective ground (earth) connection. The stage controller and the imager must be
earthed.
WARNING
Any interruption of the protective ground (earth) conductor inside or
outside the imager or stage controller or disconnection of the protective
ground (earth) terminal can make the imager dangerous.
If fuses need replacing, use only those with the required current rating and of the specified
type. Do not use makeshift fuses and do not short-circuit fuse holders.
When the imager and stage controller are connected to its electricity supply, terminals may
be live. Removing covers other than those which can be removed by hand is likely to expose
live parts.
NOTE: There are no user-serviceable parts in the imager or the stage controller.
Capacitors inside the imager and stage controller may still be charged even if the imager or
stage controller has been disconnected from all voltage sources.
Disconnect the imager and stage controller from all voltage sources before they are opened
for any adjustment, replacement, maintenance or repair. Any adjustment, replacement,
maintenance or repair must be performed by a PerkinElmer Service Engineer.
