SAFETY SUMMARY
GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES (Con’d)
● When using a chemical for analytical operation, be sure to
provide proper ventilation in the laboratory room as per local
requirements. Inadequate ventilation could endanger human
● Keep in mind that the hazard warning in manual or on the
product cannot cover every possible case, as it is impossible to
predict and evaluate circumstances beforehand.
Be alert and use your common sense.
WARNING
● Electric Shock in Contact with Dangerous High Voltage.
● Electric Shock in Contact with Dangerous High Voltage.
This instruction manual contains the following cautious instructions.
In contact with power supply voltage, you may receive an electric
shock to cause fatal or serious injury.
Before connecting power cord, make sure that the uint is turned
off.
In contact with Deuterium lamp power supply voltage (120 V),
you may receive an electric shock to cause fatal or serious injury.
Before connecting Deuterium lamp power cord, make sure that
the unit is turned off.
CAUTION
● Burn in Contact with High Temperature
Deuterium lamp and tungsten lamp reach a high temperature.
They can burn you if touched.
Before replacing or adjusting lamp, turn off the unit and wait until
it cools down sufficiently.
● Fatigue on Long Use
Watching the screen in the same posture for a long time
accumulates fatigue in your eyes or body. For long use, take a 10
to 15 minutes recess every hour for your health.
● Oxygen Deficiency due to Presence of Nitrogen
(when using Ultra Violet region measurement system)
If nitrogen purging is carried out for long hours in a narrow room
without operating an exhaust duct, oxygen concentration in room
will decrease and an oxygen deficiency could result.
Be sure to operate an exhaust duct or else open a window during
purge for ventilation purposes.

SAFETY SUMMARY
REMARKS ON SAFETY OF SPECTROPHOTOMETER
Electricity
(1) Confirm power supply to spectrophotometer.
Fluctuation in voltage or noise on power line would not only affect spectrophotometer mainframe
adversely but also cause an accident.
(2) Be sure to provide grounding connection along with power connection.
(3) High – voltage circuits are used inside spectrophotometer. Do not open any other cover than
necessary for operation.
Fire
Avoid smoking and using a fire in the vicinity of spectrophotometer.
Data Backup
Data may become unusable in case of instrument failure or misoperation.
It is recommended to transfer data from hard disk to a flash disk periodically. Transfer of data is called
backup.
To avoid misoperation, secure a free space of 100MB or so on the hard disk as a software word area at
all times.
Computer Virus
If programs or data has suddenly been destroyed, if an unexpected operation takes place or if an
abnormal display appears on screen, your personal computer may have been infiltrated by a computer
virus. Computer virus is a rogue program that secretly invades a personal computer and operates it
willfully while destroying memorized data.
A program for eliminating the virus is called vaccine program.
There is a possibility of contamination with a program including a computer virus, or by using an
exchangeable recording medium such as a flash disk that contains a computer virus. Also, it is possible
to transmit the virus from one personal computer to another via communication or recording media. So
avoid using a program or recording medium that might include a virus.
Carry out check using a vaccine program if there is a possibility of contamination with a virus. But
depending on type of vaccine program, it may be impossible to eliminate virus.
It is therefore recommended to back up contents of hard disk beforehand.
Power Failure
A power failure or momentary voltage drop of power supply due to lighting, etc. may cause failure of
personal computer used with the instrument and also damages system software, application software
and other data. To avoid such problems, it is recommended to use an AC uninterruptible power
source.
Personal Computer (PC)
Do not t urn off PC power supply alone. If PC power supply is turned off during access to hard disk or
flash disk, PC may be damaged and data or software stored in it may be destroyed. To turn off PC
power supply, be sure to complete spectrophotometer control and data processing program before
taking shutdown procedure for system software.

PRECAUTIONS ON HANDLING
1. CAUTION ON SAFETY
Be sure to entrust internal checks of the instrument to a serviceman for
ensuring safety.
Do not gaze at light source (Tungsten and Deuterium lamps) directly.
Particular attention must be paid to Deuterium lamp because it radiates
intense ultraviolet rays.
2. CAUTION ON USE
Optical parts are fragile. Besides, control and data processing sections
comprise high – density electronics. Therefore, precautions below must
be taken without fail.
(1) Avoid giving shock or vibration to optical parts. Do not breathe
on optical parts or touch them with bare hands.
(2) For removing dust from optical parts, blow it off by using a hand
sprayer which jets out clean dry air. Do not wipe them with a
cloth or the like.
(3) The operating temperature must be within 50C to 350C.
However, optimum condition is restricted to a range to 200C to 250C.
Hence, installation in an air – conditioned room is recommended.
(4) Operating humidity must be within 45 to 85%.
(5) Atmosphere must not be filled with acidic, alkaline or other
metal-corroding vapor.
(6) Avoid a location filled with vapor of organic solvent (particularly
benzine and thinner).
(7) Avoid direct sunlight. (Otherwise optical performance might
deteriorate. Do not locate the instrument near a window
whenever possible.)
(8) Do not allow strong vibrations nor shocks beyond a level which
can be sensed by the human body. (Otherwise delicate
adjustment mechanism might run out of order.)
(9) Protect the instrument cover from excessive heat (beyond
700C) radiated form a gas burner, heater, oven or the like.
(10) The instrument must be located away from equipment which
generates a strong electric field (such as an electric welding
machine, high-frequency electric furnace and pole transformer).
(11) Dusty environment is unallowable. (Otherwise adequate optical
performance might not be ensured.)
(12) Line voltage must not fluctuate suddenly (otherwise noise might
increase). Its fluctuation must be within ±10%.
(13) Do not turn on/off frequently power supply to a motor (stirrer,
vibrator, etc.) without a noise - preventive device in same power
line as the instrument’s.
(14) The installation plane must be level and capable of bearing a
weight of about 25Kg or more.
(15) Minimum power requirements are 90VA. But a higher power
capacity (1KVA or more) must be prepared in order to allow
another instrument to share power line.
(16) Fluctuation of power frequency must be within +0.3 to –1.0% of
rated frequency (50 or 60 Hz).

3. CAUTION ON STORAGE OF INSTRUMENT
3.1 Checks upon Completion of Measurement
(1) Turn off the unit and disconnect power from line power outlet.
(2) Contamination of the sample compartment is inevitable. There
might be a chance of an undesired trouble occurring due to
ingress of foreign material or dust. To prevent this, check sample
compartment for contamination as frequently as possible.
(3) Take off cell holder component, and clean it.
Loosen cell holder handle with anticlockwise, and pull it out.
Open sample compartment cover. Loosen 2 pcs of M4 Screws
which are used to fix cell holder component, you can take off cell
holder component.
To mount cell holder component, please set wavelength value to
546.0 nm, and there is a light beam with bright green color in
sample compartment. Be sure the green light beam must enter
into the middle aperture of cell holder, and you can mount cell
holder component with 2 pcs of M4 screws.
