Ensure that all instrument users read and understand the precautions listed below.

WARNING

You are advised to post a copy of the precautions near to or on the instrument itself.

Precautions

The following precautions must be observed when using a Imager2 System:

Be sure that the voltage of the Imager2 System corresponds to the voltage available where it is to

be installed.

Never remove the side or back panels of the Imager2 System without first shutting down the

instrument and disconnecting the mains cord.

General Operating Conditions

Imager2 Systems have been designed and tested in accordance with the safety requirements of the

International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Imager2 Systems conform to IEC61010-1:2010 (Safety

6vwr.com Instruction manual VWR®Imager2

Requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use) as it applies to IEC

Class 1 (earthed) appliances, and therefore meet the requirements of EC directive 2006/95/EC.

If possible, avoid any adjustment, maintenance or repair to the instrument while it is open and operative.

However, if any adjustment, maintenance or repair is necessary while the instrument is open, this must be

done by a skilled person who is aware of the hazards involved.

Whenever circumstances arise that mean a Imager2 System may be unsafe, make it inoperative. In

particular, a Imager2 System may be unsafe if it:

Shows visible damage.

Fails to perform the intended measurement.

Has been subjected to severe transport stresses.

Has been subjected to prolonged storage in unfavorable conditions.

Environmental Conditions

Imager2 System should only be used under the following conditions:

Indoors.

At altitudes below 2000m.

In ambient temperatures between 5°C and 40°C.

With relative humidity below 80% for temperatures up to 31°C, decreasing linearly to 50% relative

humidity at 40°C.

Electrical supply fluctuations not exceeding +10% of the nominal voltage.

WARNING

The protection provided by the equipment may be impaired if the environmental

conditions do not lie within these parameters.

Electrical Safety

Imager2 Systems are designed to protect the user from potential electrical hazards. This section describes

some recommended electrical safety practices.

WARNING

Lethal voltages are present at certain points within the instrument.

When the instrument is connected to mains power, removing the instrument covers

is likely to expose live parts.

Even when the power switch is off, high voltages can still be present –capacitors

within the instrument may still be charged even if the instrument has been

disconnected from all live voltage sources.

The Imager2 System must be correctly connected to a suitable electrical supply. The supply must have a

correctly installed protective conductor (earth or ground) and must be installed and checked by a qualified

electrician before connecting the instrument.

WARNING

Any interruption of the protective conductor inside or outside the Imager2 System,

or disconnection of the protective conductor terminal is likely to make the

instrument dangerous.

Intentional interruption of the protective conductor is prohibited.

WARNING

Ensure that the mains supply socket on the instrument is not obstructed, i.e. leave a

gap to allow easy disconnection of the mains cord.

WARNING

If the mains power cord has to be replaced, ensure that the replacement cord is

appropriately rated and approved for the intended use.

When working with the Imager2 System:

Connect the instrument to a correctly installed mains power outlet that has a protective conductor

connection.

Do not operate the instrument with any covers or internal parts removed.

Do not attempt to make internal adjustments or replacements except as directed in the Imager2

System documentation.

Disconnect the instrument from all live voltage sources before opening it to make any

adjustments, replacements, maintenance or repair. If the opened instrument must be operated for

further adjustment, maintenance or repair, this must only be done by a supplier’s Service

Engineer.

If it is possible that the instrument is no longer electrically safe for use, make the instrument

inoperative and secure it against any unauthorised or unintentional operation. The electrical

safety of the instrument is likely to be impaired if:

It has any signs of visible damage.

If it has been subjected to prolonged storage in unfavourable conditions.

8vwr.com Instruction manual VWR®Imager2

If it has been subjected to severe stress during transportation.

Changing a Fuse

There are two User accessible fuses that may need to be replaced:

These are located in the mains power socket on the rear panel of the Imager2 instrument and are

only accessible when the mains power cord has been removed.

To change the fuses:

WARNING

Switch off the instrument and unplug the mains power cord from the electrical

supply.

Gently pull out the fuse holder.

Replace the fuses with new fuses of the same type and rating. The fuse type is 20 mm x 5 mm

IEC 60127-1:2006, AMD1:2011 and AMD2:2015 CSV for instruments in all countries.

Replace the fuse holder.

Note: Accessories such as the GelVue Transilluminator may have their own fuse.

Note: If the instrument still does not work correctly after replacing the fuses with the correct

replacements, or if the fuses blow repeatedly, contact the supplier’s Office or Representative.

Electrical Protection

Insulation: Class I rating for external circuits. Only connect equipment that meets the

requirements of IEC 61010-1:2010, IEC 60950-1:2005, AMD1:2009 and AMD2:2013 CSV or

equivalent standards.

Installation Category: The instruments are able to withstand transient overvoltages typically

present on the mains supply. The normal level of transient overvoltages is impulse withstand

(overvoltage) category II of IEC 60664-1:2007.

Pollution Degree 2: Normally only non-conductive pollution occurs. Occasionally, however,

temporary conductivity caused by condensation must be expected.
