1 GENERAL NOTES
RIELE BERLIN Photometer 5010 / V4 1.2 20.08.2003
Warning: All components used on Photometer 5010 must be regarded as potentially dangerously
contaminated when doing repair work. Use rubber gloves or double gloves whenever cleaning or
sterilizing components. The most frequently used components (tubings, cuvette, measuring
chamber flap, sip. lever and waste container) should be cleaned and treated with a suitable
disinfecting solution (75% alcohol) prior to doing any service work.
Disinfect and wash hands after work is completed.
This instrument has been constructed and checked in accordance with Standards IEC 1010. When
the instrument leaves our factory it is in perfect condition from the point of view of work safety. To
keep it that way and to ensure safe operation the user must follow the instructions and warnings
given in the operation instruction manual.
The electrical protection of the apparatus corresponds to Class I (it has a protective earth).
The power plug must only be inserted into a socket that has a protective contact. The protection
must not be abolished by using an extension lead that does not have a protective earth wire.
Warning:
Any break in the earth wire inside or outside the apparatus and any loose connection of the earth
wire can make the operation of the apparatus dangerous. A deliberate break or interruption is not
allowed.
When the housing is opened or the components are being removed (except when this can be done
by hand), live parts may be exposed. Connection may also be live.
Therefore, if the carrying out of an adjustment, service or repair on the open apparatus in the live
state is unavoidable, this must be done by an expert who is familiar with the dangers involved.
Make sure you only use fuses of the specified type and rated amperage when replacing the old
ones. Repaired fuses must not be used and the fuse holder must not be bypassed.
If you have any reason to believe that the instrument can no longer operate safely, take it out of
use and make sure no one can use it accidentally.
It must be assumed that safe operation is no longer possible when the instrument:
• shows visible signs of demage
• fails to operate
• has been stored under unfavourable conditions for a fairly long time
• has been transported under rough conditions
The Photometer 5010 should be used by appropriately qualified persons only.
