CAUTION
The Spectrum instrument’s NIR source is a quartz halogen bulb that emits
ultraviolet, visible and infrared radiation. The majority of this energy is in
the infrared region. Do not stare into the beam produced by this bulb. For
further safety and warning information see the
Spectrum 100 Series User’s
Guide
(L1050021) or
Spectrum 400 Series User’s Guide
(L1050056). These
are distributed as .pdf files on the
Spectrum Manuals CD
(L1050002).
CAUTION
Never remove the window in the external beam and leave this port open to
atmosphere. If the spectrometer is fitted with KBr optics, do not exchange
the window if the humidity is >45% relative humidity.
The humidity sensitive optics will be damaged if subjected to a relative
humidity in excess of the specified level.
CAUTION
Be careful not to touch, or otherwise contaminate, sensitive optical
components such as the parabolic mirror assembly.
These precision optical devices are easily scratched and may not be easy to
clean.
WARNING
The spectrometer is a heavy precision instrument, so two people are
required for safe handling.
For information about moving your spectrometer, refer to the
Spectrum 100 Series User’s Guide (L1050021) or Spectrum 400 Series
User’s Guide (L1050056). These are distributed as .pdf files on the
Spectrum Manuals CD (L1050002).
