Essential Safety Notes

There are a number of warning labels and symbols on your instrument. These are there to inform you where potential

danger exists or particular caution is required. Before commencing installation, please take time to familiarize yourself

with these symbols and their meaning.

Caution (refer to accompanying documents).

Unpacking, Positioning and Installation

Check the contents of the package against the packing list. If any shortages are discovered, inform your supplier

immediately.

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 range 5°C to 35°C. Note that if you use the instrument in a room subjected to extremes of

temperature change during the day, it may be necessary to recalibrate (by switching off and then on again).

Maximum relative humidity of 80% up to 31°C decreasing linearly to 50% at 40°C.

The instrument must be placed on a stable, level bench or table that can take its weight (1.55 kg) to allow air to

circulate freely around the instrument.

This equipment must be connected to the power supply with the power cord supplied. It can be used on 90 – 240 V~,

50-60 Hz supplies.

If the instrument has just been unpacked or has been stored in a cold environment, it should be allowed to come to

thermal equilibrium for 2-3 hours in the laboratory before turning the instrument on. This will prevent calibration failure

as a result of internal condensation.

Switch on the instrument via the keypad ( ) after it has been plugged in. The instrument will perform a series of

self-diagnostic checks.

Please read through this user manual prior to use.

Please contact your original supplier in the first instance if you experience technical or sample handling difficulties.

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protection provided by the equipment may be impaired and instrument warranty withdrawn.

Warranty and Repair

Biochrom warrants this instrument for a period of 12 months (1 year) from the date of purchase. Where appropriate,

Biochrom will repair or replace the unit for defects of workmanship or materials. This warranty does not extend to damage

resulting from misuse, neglect, or abuse, normal wear and tear, or accidental damage. This warranty extends only to the

original consumer purchaser.

Products failing within the first 30 days of end user operation are considered dead on arrival (DOA) and where appropriate

a replacement will be given if a repair is not possible. In the instance of a DOA; Biochrom will incur shipping charges of

returning the unit back to the facility.

IN NO EVENT SHALL BIOCHROM BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTAL DAMAGES. Some states do

not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages do the above limitation to exclusion may not

apply to you. THERE ARE NO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE,

OR OF ANY OTHER NATURE. Some states do not allow this limitation on an implied warranty, so the above limitation

may not apply to you.

Operation

Introduction

Your spectrophotometer is a simple-to-use visible instrument. It has no moving parts, which is the basis of the rapid

scanning operating system. It has been designed to meet the routine spectroscopy needs of customers requiring a

compact instrument that is easy to use. The product is reliable and requires low maintenance.

The user interface is built around folders which are displayed on the home page when the instrument is turned on. After it

is turned on and calibrated, the default home page offers the following choices:

Applications General spectroscopic methods

Favourites A folder to store your more frequently used configured methods

Methods Contains nine folders that can store less frequently used configured methods (nine

methods per folder)

Utilities Instrument set up (date, time, language, printer options, preferences and display settings)

Life Science Standard Life Science methods such as nucleic acid assays, protein assays and cell

counting

The instrument is supplied with a program, PVC (Print via Computer) on the accompanying CD. When used with a USB

cable to connect to a PC onto which the software has been installed, it enables the user to “print through” the PC directly

to the printer that is connected to it. The data may also be stored as an Excel spreadsheet, as an EMF graphics file, a

comma delimited (csv) data file, a tab delimited (txt) data file or in native PVC format for later access.

The instrument has a USB connector located in the front of the unit which allows data to be stored on a USB memory

stick. This data can be stored in a PVC format which can be opened using PVC software or csv data file that can be

imported into Excel.

Sample Handling Tips

The light beam is directed from RIGHT to LEFT through the cell chamber; therefore please ensure the cell is inserted

with the correct alignment.

The cell holder supplied with the instrument accepts standard 10 mm path length quartz, glass or plastic cells.

The optical height is 15 mm
