Introduction

1 Introduction

The range of Agilent Cary spectrophotometers are complete analysis systems that have been fully tested and proven to specification before dispatch from the manufacturing plant.

This manual contains general information relevant to the preparation of an installation site, and details the facilities that must be provided to ensure that the system can be effective. Detailed operating procedures are provided in the operation manual that is supplied with the spectrophotometer.

You should complete the site preparation checklist on Page 4 and then send a copy of the checklist to the Agilent sales and service office or local Agilent agent dealing with the supply of the equipment. On receipt of this document, the Agilent representative will contact you and arrange a convenient time for installation.

As a guide to the time required for installation by an Agilent representative, a typical Cary system will be completed and ready for use within four hours. This time may be extended if the system includes accessories. The installation time can be kept to a minimum by ensuring proper preparation of the site and arrangement of all units to allow for easy access.

NOTE

The remainder of this manual contains information such as the environmental requirements and technical specifications for the Cary spectrophotometer, and it should not be discarded — keep this manual for future reference.

Safety Practices and Hazards

2 Safety Practices and Hazards

Your Agilent Cary instrument and accessories have been carefully designed so that when used properly you have an accurate, fast, flexible and safe analytical system.

If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Information on safety practices appears throughout the documentation (both printed and online) provided with your instrument and accessories. Before using the instrument or accessories, you must thoroughly read these safety practices.

Observe all relevant safety practices at all times.

Instrument ventilation

Ozone can be generated by radiation from the source lamps. Exposure to ozone can result in severe irritation to the skin, eyes, and upper respiratory system. The maximum permissible exposure level is 0.1 parts per million (0.2 milligrams per cubic meter).

ALWAYS ventilate the area surrounding the spectrophotometer such that the concentration of ozone does not exceed the maximum permissible level. All venting must be to outside air, never within the building.

Electrical hazards

Good grounding/earthing is essential to avoid a potentially serious electric shock hazard. Ensure that there is an integral ground connection between the metal base of the spectrophotometer and accessories and the 3-pin earth-grounded receptacle. Consult the manuals or product labels supplied with your computer, monitor and printer for the relevant grounding requirements.
