WARNING
Eye Hazard
Near-infrared operation: The tungsten-halogen lamp is extremely bright, has
high ultraviolet (UV) output, and should not be directly viewed. Avoid direct
exposure to the lamp. In addition, appropriate UV filtering glasses are
recommended to remove harmful UV radiation. This lamp should always be
turned off when not in use, as it has a limited lifetime.
Far-infrared operation: The mercury arc lamp emits harmful ultraviolet (UV)
radiation and must not be viewed by the unprotected eye. Appropriate UV
filtering glasses are strongly recommended. Avoid direct exposure to the
lamp. This lamp should always be turned off when the instrument is not in
use or when the cover is opened. This is easily accomplished by selecting the
other source position in the software.
UV-visible operation: The xenon and deuterium lamps emit harmful ultraviolet
(UV) radiation and must not be viewed by the unprotected eye. Appropriate
UV filtering glasses are strongly recommended. Avoid direct exposure to the
lamp. The lamps should always be turned off when the instrument is not in
use or when the cover is opened. This is easily accomplished by selecting the
other source position in the software.
