Unpacking, Positioning and Installation
•
Inspect the instrument for any signs of damage caused in transit. If any damage
is discovered, inform your supplier immediately.
•
Ensure your proposed installation site conforms to the environmental conditions
for safe operation:
Indoor use only
Temperature 10°C to 40°C
Maximum relative humidity of 80 % up to 31°C decreasing linearly to 50 % at
40°C
•
The instrument must be placed on a hard flat surface, for example a laboratory
bench or table, which can take its weight (13 kg) such that air is allowed to
circulate freely around the instrument.
•
Ensure that the cooling fan inlets and outlets are not obstructed; position at
least 2 inches from the wall.
•
This equipment must be connected to the power supply with the power cord
supplied and must be earthed (grounded). It can be used on 90 - 240V supplies.
•
Switch on the instrument and check that the display works (see Operation). It
can be configured to have the display and print outs in English (0), German (1),
French (2), Spanish (3), Italian (4) or Russian (5) by pressing the number in
brackets as the instrument powers up (default is English).
•
The instrument is delivered with a stored baseline. This is required to correct for
the wavelength/energy profile of the light sources. A new baseline should be
stored when a lamp is changed or if the instrument is not used for a long time
(several weeks); refer to Maintenance for details.
•
To enter laboratory name, operator name, instrument asset number, current
date/time and to configure for a particular type of printer, refer to Instrument
Utilities.
This is a “press to read” instrument, whereas other deuterium / tungsten lamp
instruments measure continuously. The lamps will switch off from stand by
mode automatically if the instrument is not used for 15 minutes; the message
“Turning lamp on…” will appear for a few seconds when the instrument is re-
used.
If this equipment is used in a manner not specified or in environmental conditions not
appropriate for safe operation, the protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired and instrument warranty withdrawn.
