Summary

Introduction

About this manual

Discusses safety features, spatial/environmental requirements, and system installation/operation.

Conventions used in this manual

Explains safety precautions and important information formats (Note, Notice, Caution, Warning, Danger).

Questions or concerns

Contact sales/service rep or use document info for emergency, safety, operation, or parts assistance.

When the system arrives

Recommends leaving system in original container until service engineer arrives for unpacking and installation.

Regulatory and Safety Information

General safety information

Systems comply with domestic/international safety regulations and product standards. Modifications void authority.

Radio frequency interference

Systems comply with FCC limits for Class A digital devices, designed for commercial environments.

WEEE compliance

Instruments comply with EU WEEE Directive. Product should be disposed of or recycled through contracted companies.

Hazardous materials and infectious agents

Materials contaminated with hazardous agents cannot be returned. Contact support for decontamination.

Fire safety and burn hazards

Guidelines to avoid burn injury and fire/explosion risk, including purging, cooling, and replacement parts.

Protective housing

Covers protect from laser/NIR radiation and electrical hazards. Never operate with damaged or removed housing.

Cleaning the instrument

Clean outside with damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents, solvents, abrasives, and internal mirror cleaning.

Lifting or moving the instrument

Instruments are heavy; use proper lifting techniques and get assistance. Support baseplate, avoid power supply.

Electrical safety

Covers protective covers, risk of shock, and symbols related to electrical hazards and components.

Electrical service

Check line voltage/frequency before connecting. Specific requirements in "Specifications". Use qualified person for checks.

Power supplies

Instruments use rear-mounted power supplies adjustable to AC voltages and line frequencies. Use exact replacements for components.

Power cords

Use appropriate grounded power cord for your site. Contact support for replacements if needed. Do not remove ground prong.

Powering on and off

Describes how to turn the instrument on and off using the power switch on the rear panel.

Fuses

Two fuses protect the power supply. Use exact replacements meeting specifications (2A, 250V, fast-acting). Disconnect power before changing.

Optical safety

Instruments are Class I laser products. Avoid direct eye exposure to laser beam or reflections. Follow safety warnings.

Manufacturer's laser information

Provides laser specifications like type, wavelength, power, and CDRH classification, potentially for registration.

Status indicators

Explains indicators like Power, Scan, Laser, and Source for monitoring instrument status.

Operation panel

Describes indicators and buttons on the operation panel that alert operators and initiate actions.

Corrosives, Solvents, and Pressurized Gases

Pressurized gases

Guidelines for safe use of compressed gases for purge, sampling, cooling. Wear eye protection, ensure ventilation.

Caustic agents

Avoid caustic agents to prevent instrument degradation. Damage is not covered by warranty.

Volatile solvents

Purge with dry air/nitrogen for volatile solvents. Avoid fire/explosion by providing ventilation and using sealed sample cells.

Solvents containing halogenated hydrocarbons

Pyrolysis can produce corrosive acids (HCl, HF) or phosgene. Handle with care and proper ventilation.

Safety labels

Shows locations of safety labels on the Antaris II. Replacement labels available.

Antaris MX Safety Label Information

Shows safety labels and compliance information for the Antaris MX.

Accessories

Shows an image of a "Heated cell" accessory with a hot surface warning symbol.

Location

Site Accessibility and Power

Choose accessible site with nearby AC power and rigid, level surface supporting twice instrument weight.

Workspace and Clearance

Ensure system fits workspace and allows clearance for cover opening and service access.

Computer access

Service engineers need access to the controlling computer. Options include Windows/local admin accounts or presence of an administrator.

System dimensions

Standard table depth of 76 cm accommodates instruments and accessories. Surface must be rigid and level.

Integrated Computer System Dimensions

Provides spatial requirements for Antaris II/MX with integrated computers on tabletops, shelves, or carts.

External beam port

Some models have a beam port for directing NIR beam to external samples. Optional parts may be needed.

Required clearances

Minimum 63.5 cm clearance above instrument for opening covers and servicing. Additional 38 cm for integrated computers.

Rackmount considerations

Instrument can be installed in a 30 in rack enclosure meeting EIA Rs-310C, requiring six rack units (6U).

Tip hazard

Instrument weight poses tip hazard. Use anti-tip extensions, feet, or anchors designed by manufacturer or engineer.

Environmental Considerations

Temperature Requirements

Frequent temperature fluctuations can cause drift. Specifies safe operating, optimal, and storage temperature ranges.

Humidity Requirements

Excessive moisture degrades components. Specifies safe operating, optimal, and storage humidity ranges.

Vibration isolation

Floor vibration or noise can affect performance. Minimize noise and vibration. Rollout drawers isolate from minor vibrations.

Magnetic field and radio frequency immunity

Intense magnetic fields affect performance; keep 5.5m away. Complies with IEC 61326 and US 47CFR15.

Static electricity

Static discharge can damage components. Follow guidelines for reducing electrostatic discharges when servicing.

Ventilation

No special ventilation required unless analyzing toxic samples or using solvents that interact with IR sources.

Utility Requirements

Electrical requirements

Power connections should be accessible. Use dedicated, uninterrupted 3-wire sources. Avoid conduit ground for safety.

Power line conditioning accessories

UPS and power line conditioners are available or can be purchased locally to protect against power disturbances.

Power consumption

Allocate 50% more power than typical system usage. Refer to "Specifications" for details.

Telephone

Install a telephone with an outside line near the instrument for assistance.

Purge gas

Purge with dry air/nitrogen if environment is humid or contaminated. Prevents damage to optical components.

Fittings

Install purge line and necessary fittings before system arrival. Details on shutoff valve and male/female fittings provided.

Purge gas generators

Recommends generators for clean, dry air/nitrogen if no source is available. Position away from instrument to reduce noise.

Pure air dryer

Thermo Fisher offers dry-air generating systems for instrument purge. Read manufacturer's instructions for installation/maintenance.

Specifications

Electrical service specifications

Details electrical requirements including voltage, current, line frequency, and disturbances. Locate power source within 3m.

Power consumption

Lists power consumption (Watts and Btu/hr) for various components including analyzers, computers, and accessories.

Purge gas

Specifies requirements for source line pressure, purge pressure, flow rate, filtering, and dew point for purge gas.

Coolant gas

Specifies requirements for coolant gas in rackmount enclosures to protect unpurged instruments.

Purge gas generator

Shows illustrations of purge gas generator dimensions and mounting options.
