Warnings and Safety Information
Electrical safety
Fitting the external beam port window requires you to open the main cover of the
spectrometer.
WARNING
Switch off the mains power supply to the spectrometer, wait 60 seconds,
and disconnect the power cable before you open the cover of the
spectrometer. This makes sure that you are safe from electrical shock and
laser radiation.
The detector/pre-amplifier module is powered by the instrument; no separate power supply is
required. The instrument has no provision for powering any other component. If necessary, you
must provide a separate power supply and ensure that the arrangement meets all the
applicable safety standards.
External electromagnetic interference and electromagnetic compatibility
The General Purpose Optical Bench with External LiTaO
3
Detector accessory is supplied for use
as an experimental test bed. The user-configurable nature of this product means that
PerkinElmer cannot guarantee the level of immunity to external electromagnetic interference
(EMI) or the possibility that the product may itself cause interference to other nearby
equipment. It is therefore the responsibility of the user to consider Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) issues when selecting a suitable site for the system and to install any
additional EMC protection that may be required for that location.
CAUTION
Some components when mounted on the optical bench may need to be
connected to instrument earth. Connect earth leads to the underside of the
optical bench at a position in the 3 x 3 block of mounting points in the far
right corner, where the anodized surface of the underside of the bench has
been removed. No other position is suitable.
CAUTION
Disconnection of a protective earth terminal could damage the
pre-amplifier/detector module.
