VOLTAGE!
DO NOT attempt to service the IVIS Lumina XRMS Series III yourself.
Although there are no voltages in excess of 24V inside the imaging chamber, local
line voltages (110VAC or 230VAC) are present in the lower electronics tray. The
light source module may be user-serviced for line fuse and lamp replacement
only. There are no other user serviceable electrical parts in the light source
module with the exception of the line fuse. See
instructions. Contact PerkinElmer Technical Support for other electrical service
needs (see
!
WARNING!
If necessary, wipe exterior surfaces of the light source module with a
soft cloth. DO NOT use fluids to clean the exterior of the module. Do not allow
fluids of any kind to enter the light source module under any circumstances. See
Cleaning the IVIS Lumina XRMS Series III
for instructions.
!
WARNING!
When the power is on, DO NOT disconnect or reattach the electrical
control cable that connects the fluorescence equipment (excitation filter
assembly) to the light source module and the IVIS Lumina XRMS Series III
(electronics tray). See System Components, page 45 for photographs of these
components. Disconnecting or reconnecting the control cable when the system
has electrical power will damage the system. Always turn off the switch on the
front panel of the light source module and the rear-mounted ON/OFF switch on
the IVIS Lumina XRMS Series III before you connect or disconnect any of these
cable connections.

WARNING!
The IVIS Lumina XRMS Series III should be operated only by
personnel who have been trained in radiation safety and the operation
and safety instructions contained in this manual. PerkinElmer also
recommends that personnel who operate the equipment, or are close
proximity to the equipment, use a radiation film badge or other type of
appropriate personal dosimeter.
