Location and ventilation
To allow for adequate cooling, the instrument should not be sited near to room heating
equipment, for example, central heating radiators.
During operation, there should be a minimum gap of:
• 15 cm (6 inches) between any surface and the cooling louvers at the rear of the
instrument.
• 7 cm (3 inches) between the instrument and adjacent equipment.
• 45 cm (18 inches) between any surface and the top surface of the closed sample
area lid (to allow for the lid to be opened fully).
WARNING
Make sure that the switch at the electrical supply inlet on the rear of the
instrument is not obstructed
.
Electrical safety
• Connect the instrument to a power supply line that includes a switch or other means
of disconnection from the electricity supply.
• Only plug the instrument into an electricity-supply socket that is provided with a
protective earth connection.
• When fuses need replacing, use only those with the required current rating and of
the specified type. Do not use makeshift fuses and do not short-circuit fuse holders.
• When the instrument is connected to its electricity supply, terminals may be live and
the removal of covers other than those which can be removed by hand is likely to
expose live parts.
• Capacitors inside the instrument may still be charged even if the instrument has
been disconnected from all voltage sources.
• The instrument must be disconnected from all voltage sources before it is opened
for any adjustment, replacement, maintenance or repair.
WARNING
Any interruption of the protective earth conductor inside or outside the
instrument or disconnection of the protective earth terminal can make the
instrument dangerous.
