WARNING 

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. 

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.  

 

WARNING 

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. 

When working with the instrument: 

•

 

Disconnect the instrument from all voltage sources before opening it for any adjustment, 

replacement, maintenance, or repair. If afterwards, the opened instrument must be 
operated for further adjustment, maintenance, or repair, this must only be done by a 
PerkinElmer Service engineer.  

•

 

Whenever it is possible that the instrument is no longer electrically safe for use, make 

the instrument inoperative and secure it against any unauthorized or unintentional 
operation. The electrical safety of the instrument is likely to be impaired if, for example, 
the instrument shows visible damage, has been subjected to prolonged storage under 
unfavorable conditions, or has been subjected to severe stress during transportation.
