Warnings and Safety Information . 13
General Safety
The Spectrum 100 FT-IR and Spectrum 100N FT-NIR spectrometers have been designed
and tested in accordance with PerkinElmer specifications and in accordance with the
safety requirements of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The
instruments conform to IEC publication 61010-1 (‘Safety requirements for electrical
equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use’) as it applies to IEC Class 1
(earthed) appliances and therefore meets the requirements of EC low voltage Directive
73/23/EEC, amended by 93/68/EEC.
If the instrument is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the instrument may be impaired. Only use the instrument indoors and under
the following conditions:
Temperature 15 °C to 35 °C
Relative Humidity 75% maximum (non–condensing)
If possible, avoid any adjustment, maintenance and repair of the opened, operating
instrument. If any adjustment, maintenance and repair of the opened, operating
instrument is necessary, this must only be done by a skilled person who is aware of the
hazard involved.
Whenever it is likely that the instrument is unsafe, make it inoperative. The instrument
may be unsafe if it:
• shows visible damage;
• fails to perform the intended measurement;
• has been subjected to prolonged storage in unfavorable conditions;
• has been subjected to severe transport stresses.
WARNING
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other
than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation
exposure.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified herein the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
The instrument has been designed to be safe under the following environmental
conditions:
• Indoor use.
• Altitude up to 2000 m (above mean sea level).
• Ambient temperatures of 5 °C to 40 °C.
• A maximum ambient relative humidity of 80% for temperatures up to
31 °C, decreasing linearly to 50% relative humidity at 40 °C.
• Mains supply fluctuations not exceeding ± 10 % of the nominal voltage.
