Safety Practices

Electrical Safety

The instrument has been designed to protect you from potential electrical hazards. 
This section describes some recommended electrical safety practices. 

The instrument must be correctly connected to a suitable electrical supply. The 
supply must have a correctly installed protective conductor (earth ground) and 
must be installed or checked by a qualified electrician before connecting the 
instrument. 

The product is designed and manufactured, having regard to the state of the art, to 
ensure that:

Warning: Unauthorized Adjustments and Servicing

Only a PerkinElmer service engineer or similarly trained and authorized 
person should be permitted to service the instrument. 

Do

 not 

attempt to make adjustments, replacements, repairs, or 

modifications to this instrument except as described in the documentation 
supplied with the instrument.

Lethal voltages are present at certain areas within the instrument. 
Installation and internal maintenance of the instrument should only 
be performed by a PerkinElmer service engineer or similarly 
authorized and trained person. 

When the instrument is connected to 

line power, opening the instrument covers is likely to expose live parts. 
Even when the power switch is off, high voltages can still be present. 
Capacitors inside the instrument may still be charged even if the 
instrument has been disconnected from all voltage sources.

Any interruption of the protective conductor (earth ground) inside or 
outside the instrument or disconnection of the protective conductor 
terminal is likely to make the instrument dangerous. Intentional 
interruption is prohibited.
