Avoiding Electrical Shock and Fire-related Injury
„
Always use the grounded power supply cord set provided to connect the unit to a
grounded outlet (3-prong). This is required to protect you from injury in the event that an
electrical hazard occurs.
„
Do not disassemble the unit. The only user serviceable parts are the line fuse, the xenon
bulb, and filters. The line fuse is accessible from the outside of the unit. The bulb and the
filters are accessible via separate panels on the side of the unit. Bulb replacement and
filter installation/removal are covered in separate sections of the manual and should only
be attempted with the power cord disconnected.
„
To prevent fire or shock hazard do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.
Electromagnetic Interference
To comply with FDA and CE electromagnetic immunity and interference standards; and to
reduce the electromagnetic coupling between this and other equipment in your lab always
use the type and length of interconnect cables provided with the unit for the interconnection
of one or more filter wheels and/or shutters, host computer via serial RS-232 or parallel
interface, or other equipment via TTL connections (see the TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATIONS appendix for more details).
Operational
ƒ
Operate only in a location where there is a free flow of fresh air on all sides.
NEVER ALLOW THE FREE FLOW OF AIR TO BE RESTRICTED.
ƒ
Do not operate the lamp in an orientation where the output of the CERMAX lamp faces
within 45
° of straight upward. To do so may cause arc instability and the possibility of
damage to the front window of the CERMAX lamp. Note that the lamp output is towards
the heat sink mounted on the side of the cabinet.
Avoiding Physical Injury while Powered Up and Emitting Light
ƒ
WARNING: DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE LIGHT GUIDE! The output of
the light aperture or the light guide should be directed into the microscope using the
appropriate adapters, directed away from anyone’s eyes, and not directed toward any
reflective surface.
ƒ
INFRARED RADIATION: The infrared radiation (and ultraviolet radiation)
generated by this lamp can cause significant skin burns and eye damage.
ƒ
THE SMARTSHUTTER IS NOT A SAFETY SHUTTER: The Lambda DG-4
and DG-5 can be optionally equipped with a Sutter Instrument
Smart
Shutter. The
SmartShutter is not intended to be a ‘safety shutter.’ A safety shutter usually closes
automatically in the event of a power failure and is designed with the primary goal of
ensuring that it will not allow any unintended exposure. For laser safety applications, a
