Safety Summary
The Spectrum 100 FT-IR and Spectrum 100N FT-NIR spectrometers have been designed
to comply with a wide variety of international standards governing the safety of
laboratory equipment. In routine use, the instruments pose virtually no risk to you. If you
take some simple, common-sense precautions, you can make sure that you maintain the
continued safe operation of your instrument:
DO make sure that the instrument is properly connected to the electrical supply; in
particular make sure that the ground (earth) is securely connected.
DO disconnect the electrical power cable before opening the main cover of the
instrument.
DO keep the instrument dry. Avoid spilling liquid into the instrument. Clean all external
spills immediately. If anything that is spilled enters the main body of the instrument,
switch off the power and contact a PerkinElmer Service Engineer.
DO NOT stare into the internal laser beam under the instrument cover. The instrument
contains a low power, visible (red) laser; momentary exposure to the beam is not
dangerous, but deliberate, direct viewing of the beam along its axis could damage your
eye.
DO NOT use a flammable gas to purge the instrument. The instrument contains a hot
source, and a fire or explosion will result. Only use clean, dry, oil-free nitrogen or air to
purge the instrument.
DO read the more detailed information on warnings and safety in the following pages to
ensure the safe operation of the instrument.
