• Temperature (+15
o
C to +35
o
C)
• Relative Humidity (Maximum 80% at 31
o
C non condensing then decreasing linearly to 50% at 40
o
C)
• Mains supply voltage fluctuation (+/- 10%)
• Overvoltage category (II) acc. to IEC 60364-4-443
• Pollution degree (2) acc. to IEC 61010-1
Electrical Safety 2.4
• Connect the unit only to an earthed supply socket. The instrument is class 3 construction and must
be earthed.
• Connect the unit only to a power supply with a designated voltage rating corresponding to the label
on the back of the instrument.
Xenon high power flashlamp –
emits ultraviolet light during operation at levels that
could injure the eye. Thus avoid looking at the light directly. During normal operation
the user will not encounter any light from the xenon flash lamp
Chemical and Biological Safety 2.5
Daily routine with this instrument may involve the handling and use of compounds that are toxic, flammable,
or biologically harmful. When working with materials and compounds as stated, make sure to observe the
following precautions:
• Handle all samples, be it liquid, solid, or in gaseous form according to good laboratory practice.
• Adhere to the maximum workplace concentration (MAC) and to laboratory safety regulations (e.g.
BGI 850-0, formerly BGR120 in Germany).
• Wear safety goggles since spilling of liquids may occur.
• Contact your safety officer to dispose of hazardous waste solutions and when working with
flammable liquids.
for the standard gas purge vent use a regulator followed by a
flow restrictor to set the flow rate. The instrument should be housed in an atmospheric
gas tight bag (e.g. Aldrich
®
AtmosBag, Z530220-1E) to prevent spillage of gas
Use only mild detergent or 70% ethanol for cleaning the instrument. Make sure the
instrument is always in the OFF position for cleaning and servicing
