To ensure Protection Class I (protective earth connection) of the device, connect the power plug of the
device only to a power outlet with protective earth conductor. The protective effect must not be undone by
the use of an extension cable without protective earth conductor.
Before opening the device or removing any device covers, disconnect the power cable!
Before connecting the SP-UV 200 to the power outlet, make sure the line voltage supplied agrees with the
operating voltage specified on the rating plate at the rear panel of the device. Operation of the device with
any other operating voltage than that specified may result in the destruction of the device.
Only use fuses of the specified type.
Do not operate the device in explosion-risk rooms!
UV
radiation!
Never look directly or indirectly, e.g. via a mirror, into the radiation emitted by the lamp
to avoid the risk of getting conjunctivitis!
Therefore, switch off the lamp for lamp replacement!
Lamp
damage!
Do not grasp functioning halogen and deuterium lamps on their glass bulbs.
Contamination on the bulb affects the radiation properties of the lamps.
Especially protect the beam-exit window of the deuterium lamp.
Accumulation of heat
Heat accumulation might result in overheating and faults on the device.
Make sure not to cover the ventilation slots of the SP-UV 200!
Before you switch on the SP-UV 200, remove its dust cover!
Handling
liquids
Take care to ensure that no liquids can enter the SP-UV 200 to avoid any damage to the device.
Risk of corrosion
Do not set up the device in the vicinity of aggressive vapors, e.g. strongly corrosive acid or caustic vapors!
The vapors might corrode the connections, mechanical and optical components of the device.
Avoid exposing the sample compartment to strongly corrosive substances! For the analysis of such samples,
