Safety notes
SPECORD
®
General safety regulations
Emergency stop!
In the case of emergency, disconnect the SPECORD
®
and its components from line
power by removing the power plug from the power outlet.
Electric shocks!
The SPECORD
®
is electrically powered. At several parts inside the system,
extremely hazardous electrical
voltages are accessible!
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 SPECORD
®
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.
Make sure to remove the protective cap from the halogen bulb after having inserted it
to avoid any risk of fire!
Non-observance will result in damage of the 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 SPECORD
®
!
Before you switch on the SPECORD
®
, remove its dust cover!
Handling liquids
Take care to ensure that no liquids can enter the SPECORD
®
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, use vapor-tight stoppered cells.
After the measurement, do not leave the samples unnecessarily long in the sample
compartment of the device!
