Safety Practices and Hazards
Cary 100/300/4000/5000/6000i/7000 Spectrophotometers User’s Guide 7
Panels or covers which are retained by screws on the
spectrophotometer and accessories (with the exception of the lamp
access cover) may be opened ONLY by Agilent-trained, Agilent-
qualified, or Agilent-approved service engineers. Consult the manuals
or product labels supplied with your computer, monitor and printer
to determine which parts are operator-accessible.
Operators and other unauthorized personnel are permitted access
ONLY to the lamp compartment and the sample compartment of the
Cary. ALWAYS switch off the spectrophotometer before changing a
lamp in the lamp compartment.
Application of the wrong supply voltage can create a fire hazard and
a potentially serious shock hazard, and could seriously damage the
Cary system, accessories and any attached ancillary equipment. The
Cary 4000/5000/6000i/7000 has a Universal Power Supply that
adapts to the supply voltage. However, care must be taken to ensure
that the correct voltage is used.
Do not connect the spectrophotometer or accessories to the mains
power supply until you have made sure that the slide switch(es)
(Cary 100/300 only) at the rear of these are correctly set for the
mains power supply in the specific outlet in your laboratory to which
the equipment will be connected. Consult the manuals supplied with
your computer, monitor and printer for their specific voltage
requirements.
Replace blown fuses with fuses of the size and rating as stipulated in
the text adjacent to the fuse holder or in the manuals where listed.
Do NOT use power cords with faulty or frayed insulation.
When replacing the mains power cord, only use a mains power cord
with a rating equivalent to the one supplied with the instrument. See
the Site Preparation Guide for the instrument for detailed mains
power cord rating information.
Do not position the equipment so that it is difficult to operate the
disconnecting device.
