1.3 ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
Make all connections to or from the instrument with the power off.
The Cornerstone 260B requires DC voltage for operation, which is provided by an external power
supply. This power supply has no user serviceable parts. Do not attempt to open the external
power supply. Do not attempt to work in the Cornerstone compartment without first disconnecting
the power cord, since electrical hazards are present inside the compartment even with the power
switch in the “off” position.
The Cornerstone 260B monochromator contains a microprocessor and should be installed with
appropriate surge/EMI/RFI protection on the power line. A dedicated power line or line isolation
may be required for some extremely noisy sites. The electronic circuits within the monochromator
are extremely sensitive to static electricity and radiated electromagnetic fields. Operation of this
instrument close to intense pulsed sources (lasers, xenon strobes, arc lamps, etc.) may
compromise performance if shielding is inadequate, and may cause permanent damage to the
microprocessor.
Note: This instrument conforms to CE standards for both safety and EMC. During normal use, this
equipment will not pose any electrical hazards to the user. Read all warnings before installing or
operating this system. If there are any questions or concerns, contact Oriel Instruments or the
regional sales representative for Newport.
