Safety

This is important information; please read carefully before installing or using this instrument.

1.The 6300 and 6320D spectrophotometers are designed for operation by trained personnel that are aware of the principles and applications involved. For further help and advice please contact your local distributor,

e-mail [e-mail] or visit www.jenway.com

2.The 6300 and 6320D spectrophotometers are sensitive electronic and optical instrument s designed for use in a laboratory environment. Careful adherence to the installation instructions must be observed. If in doubt contact a relevant and competent authority for advice before proceeding.

3.In addition to observing the instructions det ailed in the Operating Manual and Service Manual for this instrument all installation, operating and service personnel must be aware of, and employ, a safe system of work.

4.Voltage levels hazardous to life are present in this instrument, for personal safety only trained engineers aware of the risk and avoidance of electric shock should remove protective covers from the instrument.

5.This instrument is designed for minimal maintenance, which must be carried out carefully following the procedures detailed in this manual. All safety instructions in these procedures as well as those defined locally for the area or environment where the work is being carried out must be observed.

6.Other than for those items defined in the maintenance procedures herein there are no user serviceable items in this instrument. Removal of covers and attempted adjustment or service by unqualified personnel will invalidate any warranty and incur additional charges for repair.

7.Reference should always be made to the Health and Safety Data for any chemicals or reagents used. All available information, advice and warnings on the handling, storage, use and disposal of such must be carefully observed. When not available this dat a must be requested from the supplier before proceeding in any way.

8.It is important that good laboratory practice is observed when handling samples, chemicals, reagents and ancillary equipment in order to carry out measurement and analysis with this instrument. Suitable safety and personal protective equipment must be used at all times.

9.If it is suspected that safety protection has been impaired in any way, the spectrophotometer must be made inoperative and secured against any intended operation. The fault condition must be reported to the appropriate servicing authority. In all such reports model number and serial number of the spectrophotometer must be reported.

INTRODUCTION

1.1 INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION

The 6300 and 6320D are microprocessor controlled V isible Range Spectrophotometers covering the wavelength range of 320 to 1000nm with a 10nm bandwid th. The monochromator is of a modified Czerny Turner design, incorporating a stepper motor driven 1200 lines/mm holographic diffraction grating and featuring automatic second order response suppression. Both models have full interfacing capability for Analogue output and serial (RS232) interfacing. The optical system is independantly housed and isolated with lenses to give maximum protection from environmental contamination. Combined with a mechanically rigid structure, these models provide a system with fast warm-up, low drift and high reliability.

INSTALLATION

2.1 UNPACKING

Remove the 6300 or 6320D from the packaging and ensure the following items are present:

1.Model 6300 or 6320D Spectrophotometer

2.Mains Cable

3.Pack 100 disposable Cuvettes (060 084) - (Model 6300 only)

4.Interface Cable (013 210) - (Model 6300 only)

5.63-Zero Software (635 100) - (Model 6300 only)

6.Optional Accessories (as ordered)

Any shortages or damage should be reported immediately to the Manufacturer or your local Distributor.

2.2 INSTALLATION

MAINS SUPPLY

Both models are designed to operate on 115/230V a.c. supplies (-20%+10%) 50/60Hz. The standard 2 metre mains cable supplied with the unit is fitted with an IEC type connector which can be plugged directly into the POWER IN socket on the rear panel.

The mains fuse is housed within the POWER IN socket. When replacing the fuse the unit must be disconnected from the mains supply.

In the event of the fuse failing after replacement it is advisable to consult with the Manufacturer or your local Distributor before proceeding further.

Fuse Rating: 2A 'F' (fast blow type)

NOTE: The unit should be positioned within 1.5 metres of an earthed mains supply. VOLTAGE SELECTION

NOTE:	When changing the voltage select switch position always ensure the fuse
	rating is correct.

Before attempting to change the voltage select disconnect the instrument from the mains supply. Withdraw the fuse holder from the power input socket and remove the fuse. Extract the grey fuse retainer and rotate so that the correct voltage is visible through the aperture in the fuse holder. Replace the fuse retainer in its holder, fit the correct fuse and push assembly back into the power input socket.

MAINS CONNECTIONS

The unit is supplied with a moulded on plug. However, if this is removed for any reason the connection wires in the mains lead are colour coded to conform to the internationally recognised standard such that:

UK CONNECTIONS		US CONNECTIONS
BROWN	LIVE	BLACK	LIVE
BLUE	NEUTRAL	WHITE	NEUTRAL
GREEN/YELLOW	EARTH	GREEN	EARTH

IMPORTANT: THE UNIT MUST BE EARTHED.

The Green/Yellow wire in the a.c. supply cable must be connected to a properly grounded terminal.
