1. INSTALLATION
1.1. Unpacking and positioning
• Remove the instrument from its packaging and inspect it for signs of damage. If
any are discovered, inform your supplier immediately.
• The instrument must be placed on a stable, level surface that can take its weight
(~ 4.5 kg) and positioned such that air can circulate freely around the casing.
• Ensure your proposed installation site conforms to the environmental conditions
for safe operation.
• The instrument is designed for indoor use only, temperature range 5°C to 35°C
and should be kept away from strong draughts.
• If you use the instrument in a room subjected to extremes of temperature
change during the day, it may be necessary to recalibrate (by switching off and
then on again) once thermal equilibrium has been established (2–3 hours).
• A temperature change of no more than 4°C/hour and a maximum relative
humidity of 80% at 31°C, decreasing linearly to 50% at 40°C are required.
• If the instrument has just been unpacked or has been stored in a cold
environment, it should be allowed to come to thermal equilibrium for 2–3 hours
in the laboratory before switching on. This will prevent calibration failure as a
result of internal condensation.
• The instrument must be connected to the power supply with the power adaptor
supplied. The adaptor can be used on 90–240V, 50–60Hz supplies. It will become
warm once plugged into the power supply and should not be covered up.
• Switch on the instrument via the keypad (
) after it has been plugged in. The
instrument will perform a series of self-diagnostic checks.
• It is recommended that users read through this manual prior to use.
• Contact your supplier if you experience any difficulties with this instrument
• We recommend that you carry out a quick check of the pathlength before using
WARNING
High voltages exist inside the NanoVue Plus instruments. Repair and
maintenance should only be carried out by individuals trained specifically to
work on these instruments.
1.2. Safety
Spectrophotometer Health & Safety Document including General Operating
Instructions are available as a booklet provided with each instrument. The booklet,
translated into the European Union languages, is available on the delivered CD. The
instructions provide the user with basic use, troubleshooting and how to use the
instrument in a safe manner.
CAUTION
This instrument contains a UV source which generates a light beam that
is present at the sample platform. Do not attempt to divert the beam as
prolonged exposure to the beam may cause permanent eye damage.
Note that the instrument prevents operation if the head is raised or the Xenon
flash does no reach the detection system.
the NanoVue, please see instructions on how to do this in section 7.7.
