Safety Practices and Hazards
Cary Eclipse Fluorescence Spectrophotometer User’s Guide 9
Electrical hazards
The Cary Eclipse system and some accessories contain electrical
circuits, devices, and components operating at dangerous voltages.
Contact with these circuits, devices and components can cause death,
serious injury, or painful electrical shock.
Panels or covers which are retained by screws on the
spectrophotometer and accessories and carry a warning may be
opened ONLY by Agilent-trained, Agilent-qualified, or Agilent-
approved customer service representatives. Consult the manuals or
product labels supplied with your computer, monitor and printer to
determine which parts are operator-accessible.
Good grounding is essential to avoid a potentially serious electric
shock hazard. Ensure that there is an integral ground connection
between the metal base of the spectrophotometer and accessories
and the three pin earth-grounded receptacle. Consult the manuals or
product labels supplied with your computer, monitor and printer for
their grounding requirements.
NOTE
The safety classification is given as Equipment Class I.
Application of the wrong supply voltage can create a fire hazard and
a potentially serious shock hazard, and could seriously damage the
Cary Eclipse system, accessories and any attached ancillary
equipment.
Do not connect the Cary Eclipse, your computer, monitor, printer or
accessories to the mains power supply until you have made sure that
they 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.
Replace or repair faulty or frayed insulation on power cords.
Do not replace the power cord with one of a lower rating than
specified. Use only Agilent supplied power cords for your country.
