THIS SPECTROPHOTOMETER SYSTEM HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO BE USER
INSTALLED.
READ THIS PAGE CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING AND USING THE
INSTRUMENT AND ITS ACCESSORIES.
The safety statements in this manual comply with the requirements of the
HEALTH AND SAFETY AT WORK ACT 1974.
The instrument and accessories described in this manual are designed to be used
by properly trained personnel only. Adjustment, maintenance and repair of
exposed equipment must be carried out only by qualified personnel who are
aware of the hazards involved. Where indicated in the relevant manual, certain
maintenance processes may be carried out by the user, who must be fully aware
of, and apply, the following safety precautions.
For the correct and safe use of this instrument and its accessories it is essential
that both operating and servicing personnel follow generally accepted safety
procedures in addition to the safety precautions specified in this manual.
Specific warning and caution statements, where applicable, can be found
throughout the manual. Warning and caution statements and/or symbols are
marked on the apparatus where necessary.
The instrument covers and accessories should only be removed by personnel
who have been trained to avoid the risk of electric shocks. The mains electricity
supply to the instrument must be disconnected at the mains supply connector
and at least three minutes allowed for capacitors to discharge.
Some of the chemicals used in spectrophotometry are corrosive, and/or
flammable and samples may be radioactive, toxic or potentially infective. Care
should be taken to follow the normal laboratory procedures for handling
chemicals.
The UV radiation from a deuterium lamp can be harmful to the skin and eyes.
Always view the lamp through protective glasses/goggles that will absorb the UV
radiation and avoid looking directly at the deuterium arc. Do not expose the skin
to direct or reflected UV radiation.
Whenever it is likely that safety protection has been impaired, the instrument
and/or accessory must be made inoperative and secured against any unintended
operation. The matter should then be referred to the appropriate servicing
authority. Safety protection is likely to be impaired if for example, the
instrument fails to perform the intended measurements or shows visible
damage.
