Safety Practices and Hazards
6 Cary 50 Spectrophotometer Hardware Manual
Lamp module
The lamp is enclosed in a self-contained module. This module
contains components operating at high voltages. To avoid electric
shock, NEVER disassemble the module.
When operating, the lamp module emits high-intensity light, which
can cause serious damage to eyes. To avoid eye damage, never
operate the lamp outside the instrument.
Electrical hazards
The Cary 50 spectrophotometer is powered by the computer
controlling the instrument. Safe operation of the instrument depends
on the integrity of the switching power supply of the computer. Your
computer must comply with IEC 60950.
Modules, covers and panels
The ONLY modules of the Cary 50 spectrophotometer that operators
and other unauthorized personnel are permitted to access are the
lamp module (on the underside of the instrument) and the sample
compartment. White circles indicate the screws you need to undo to
remove the lamp module. ALWAYS switch off the computer before
changing a lamp.
The only panel you are permitted to remove is the snap-out panel
covering the lamp mirror adjustment screws on the front of the
instrument.
Any other panels or covers that are retained by screws on the
spectrophotometer and accessories may be opened ONLY by Agilent-
trained, Agilent-qualified, or Agilent-approved customer support
representatives. Consult the manuals or product labels supplied with
your computer, monitor and printer to determine which parts are
operator-accessible.
The safety classification is given as Safety Class III (EN 61010-1).
