Chapter 2 Installation
2.1 site requirement
To ensure a better working quality and to prolong the service life of the instrument, install the
instrument in a place that satisfies the following requirements:
a. Ambient temperature: 15℃~35℃
b. Relative humidity: less than 80%
c. The instrument should be placed on a stable workbench, avoiding strong vibrations.
d. Avoid a place with strong magnetic or electric fields and corrosive gases.
e. Power requirements: AC110V/220V±10%, 50Hz/60Hz±1Hz, single phase. A regulated power
supply with at least 500VA capacity is recommended. There should be a ground line in the
laboratory to ensure the instrument to be well grounded.
2.2 Installation
2.2.1 Connect the instrument to the printer
All the Mega-800 UV-VIS Spectrophotometers can be connected to HP parallel printers. The
instruments connected with PC can use any printer as long as your PC can recognize it.
The following is the installation scheme of the connection between the instrument and the printer.
Put the printing cable with 25-pin plug into the parallel interface of the instrument, and put the
other end with a 36-pin plug into the printer interface.
Connect all the cables firmly by locking the screw (if there is any) on the plugs. Plug in the power
cords of spectrophotometer and the printer to the mains power.
Note:
1. Make sure the power supply is AC 110V/220V, 50HZ/60Hz before plugging the power cords of the instrument and
the printer. For the voltage, 10% fluctuation is allowed. The instrument can’t work normally if the power supply is out of
range. High voltage may cause damage to the instrument.
2. Do not insert or pull out the printer cable when the instrument is on, otherwise it may destroy the instrument and
the printer.
