(2) Warning indication

Warnings are indicated at several locations on this instrument. Do not deface or damage the
warning indication.

Figure.1 Warning indication

1) Warning for FUSE (Fig. 2 or Fig. 3)

Only use fuses of the designated rating to protect both operator and instrument from fire and
other hazards. Whenever replacing the lamp, be sure to turn the “Power” switch OFF and
unplug the power cable from the power outlet to avoid the risk of electric shock and other
hazards.

2) Warning for GROUND (Fig. 2 or Fig. 3)

You may receive an electric shock if the instrument is not properly grounded. Correctly ground
the instrument using the grounding terminal on the power board. Do not use water supply
pipes for grounding because they are often made of nonmetals. For the same reason, do not
use gas piping for grounding either.

Preface

This instruction manual is your guide for using this instrument. It instructs first-time users on how
to use the instrument, and serves as a reference for experienced users.

Before using the instrument, please read this instruction manual carefully, and make sure that the
contents are fully understood. This manual should be easily accessible to the operator at all times
during instrument operation. When not using the instrument, keep this manual in a safe place. If this
instruction manual becomes lost, order a replacement from your local JASCO distributor.

Note: The operating procedure varies with the type of instrument. Operation is

described by type. Read the portion relevant to your instrument.

vii

Installation Requirements

To ensure operation safety, observe the following conditions:

(1) Do not operate the instrument under voltage fluctuations exceeding 10% of the

recommended line voltage. Otherwise, the instrument may not function properly.

(2) Frequency or spike noise in the power supply should be minimal.

(3) Ensure that the instrument is grounded.

(4) Operate the instrument in a temperature range of 15 to 30 °C.

(5) Operate the instrument in humidity below 85% (RH). JASCO recommends operating the

instrument in humidity below 60% to avoid the deterioration of the optical components due
to the condensation caused by high humidity.

(6) Operate the instrument in an atmospheric pressure range of 750 to 1060 hPa.

(7) Avoid strong magnetic fields and sources of high frequency. The instrument may not

function properly when near a strong magnetic field or high frequency source.

(8) Avoid vibration from vacuum pumps, electric motors, processing equipment and machine

tools.

(9) Avoid dust and corrosive gas. Do not install the instrument where it may be exposed to dust,

especially in locations exposed to outside air or ventilation outlets that discharge dust
particles.

(10) Do not install the instrument in a location where it may be exposed to direct sunlight.

(11) Install the instrument in a horizontal and stable position. (This includes a table or desk upon

which the instrument is installed.)

(12) Ensure that no air conditioner blows air directly onto the instrument. This may prevent

stable measurement.

(13) Install the instrument in a location that allows easy access for maintenance.

Note: The above conditions do not guarantee optimal performance of this

instrument.

viii

Servicing

Contact your local JASCO distributor for instrument servicing. In addition, contact your JASCO
distributor before moving the instrument to another location. Consumable parts should be ordered
according to part number from your local JASCO distributor. If a part number is unknown, give
your JASCO distributor the model name and serial number of your instrument.

Do not return contaminated products or parts that may constitute a health hazard to
JASCO employees.
