Pharo 300 photometer is an optical precision meter.
Therefore, it should always be handled with care, especially in mobile use.
Always protect the meter from conditions that could damage the mechanical,
optical and electronic components. Heed the following points especially:
 The temperature and humidity during operation and storage must be
within the limits specified in chapter 7 T
ECHNICAL DATA.
 The following influences always have to be avoided with the meter:
– Extreme dust, moisture and wetness
– Exposure to intensive light and heat
– Fumes that are corrosive or contain high concentrations of solvents.
 For measuring, the meter must be placed on a flat surface.
 Spilled liquid or other material should be removed immediately (see sec-
tion 5.2 C
LEANING).
 If a cell has broken in the cell shaft, the cell shaft should be cleaned imme-
diately (see section 6.1 A
CTIONS IN THE CASE OF A BROKEN CELL).
 The cell shaft should always be closed when the photometer is not used.
 During transport of the photometer, the cell shaft has to be empty.
 For mobile use we recommend the suitable transport case (see section
8.1 A
CCESSORIES).
