Unpacking, Positioning and Installation
•Inspect the instrument for any signs of damage caused in transit. If any damage
is discovered, inform your supplier immediately.
•Ensure your proposed installation site conforms to the environmental conditions
for safe operation:
Indoor use only
Temperature 10°C to 40°C
Maximum relative humidity of 80 % up to 31°C decreasing linearly to 50 %
at 40°C
•The instrument must be placed on a hard flat surface, for example a laboratory
bench or table, which can take its weight (13 kg) such that air is allowed to
circulate freely around the instrument.
•Ensure that the cooling fan inlets and outlets are not obstructed; position at least
2 inches from the wall.
•This equipment must be connected to the power supply with the power cord
supplied and must be earthed (grounded). It can be used on 90 - 240V supplies.
•Switch on the instrument and check the status of the power/progress indicators;
flashing amber is calibrating and green is normal operating mode; refer to
Messages for more information.
•The instrument is delivered with a stored baseline. This is required to correct
for the wavelength/energy profile of the light source.
This is a “press to read” instrument, whereas other deuterium / tungsten lamp
instruments measure continuously. The lamps will switch off from stand by
mode automatically if the instrument is not used for 15 minutes; the message
“Turning lamp on…” will appear for a few seconds when the instrument is re-
used.
If this equipment is used in a manner not specified or in environmental conditions
not appropriate for safe operation, the protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired and instrument warranty withdrawn.
