5. Safety instructions
To ensure safe and failure-free operation of the IR detection kit comply with the following precautions:
The IR detector is dedicated to measure IR flux. Never use the detector in other applications.
Never dismount the case of the preamplifier. Do not open or remove the housing of the device. It may lead to
its permanent damage or/and to a risk of electric shock.
Handle with care, avoid excessive mechanical shock or vibration. Excessive mechanical stress applied to the
package itself or to a device containing the package may result in permanent damage.
Use the proper cables to connect elements of the kit, dedicated for specified device only. Never cut or shorten
any cable, it may cause damage to your device.
Never use cables not approved by VIGO System.
Do not replace parts of the IR detection kit - cables, preamplifiers or detectors. Using parts from other IR de -
tection kit can be the cause of malfunction of your Preamplifier.
Never touch the detector window.
All connectors must be connected carefully and firmly.
Avoid damp locations. The IR preamplifier should be neither installed nor used in high humidity locations.
Avoid locations with ambient temperature exceeding preamplifier operating temperature. The IR preamplifier
should not be installed in the proximity of radiators, heat outlets, burners or other heat emitting objects.
Use proper ESD protection.
Ensure stable placement of the device. The IR preamplifier should stand on a stable surface.
Some IR detector window materials such as BaF
2
are soft. Particular attention should be paid not to scratch
the surface of the window. A damaged window may entirely degrade the detector performance.
Important note!
If you are setting up own system based on IR detecting system without power supply, please check if the
preamplifier power supply are correct.
