1 Introduction
The SP-UV 200 is a single beam spectrophotometer. The instrument is compact, easy-to-use, and
ruggedness. The large sample compartment can accept various accessories and cell from 10mm to 100mm
path length. The built-in RS-232 serial interface enables the instrument to be connected to a printer.
The SP-UV 200 is ideal to use in a clinical laboratory, biochemical laboratory, petrochemical laboratory,
environmental protection and various fields of quality control. This user’s manual provides the description of
the SP-UV 200, a list of main specifications and available accessories.
After carefully unpacking the content, check the materials against the packing list to ensure that you
have received everything in good condition. If some parts are missing, damaged or have any other defects,
please contact you dealer or the sales representative immediately.

2 Safety notes
For your personal safety and for a trouble-free operation, carefully read this chapter before starting up
the SP-UV 200.
Observe all safety notes given in this manual and all messages and notes displayed by the control
software on the screen.
In addition, observe the safety notes for system components of other manufacturers (e.g. PC, printer)
supplied together with the device.
In particular, you should also observe the safety notes given on the labels and the information on the
use, storage and disposal of reagents, reaction cells and the notes on the package inserts of test kits.
Intended use!
The SP-UV 200, including original accessories, may only be used for the applications described in this
manual. The manufacturer cannot assume any liability for any other application, including that of individual
modules or single parts. This also applies to all service or repair work that is not carried out by authorized
service personnel. All warranty claims shall be forfeited.
Local safety regulations!
Observe the local safety regulations relevant to the operation of the device (e.g. labor safety regulations,
regulations for the prevention of and protection against accidents).
References to possible risks given in this manual do not replace the relevant labor safety regulations that
are to be followed.
Personnel!
The SP-UV 200 may only be operated by appropriately qualified and trained personnel.
For that, the knowledge of the information provided by this manual is indispensable and taken for granted.
Emergency stop!
In the case of emergency, disconnect the SP-UV 200and its components from line power by removing the
power plug from the power outlet.
Caution! This procedure involves the risk of data loss and damage to the operating system!
Electric shocks!
The SP-UV 200 is electrically powered. At several parts inside the system, extremely hazardous electrical
voltages are accessible!
User’s Manual SP-UV 200 6
Spectrum Instruments
To ensure Protection Class I (protective earth connectio
n) of the device, connect the power plug of the
device only to a power outlet with protective earth conductor. The protective effect must not be undone by
the use of an extension cable without protective earth conductor.
Before opening the device or removing any device covers, disconnect the power cable!
Before connecting the SP-UV 200 to the power outlet, make sure the line voltage supplied agrees with the
operating voltage specified on the rating plate at the rear panel of the device. Operation of the device with
any other operating voltage than that specified may result in the destruction of the device.
Only use fuses of the specified type.
Do not operate the device in explosion-risk rooms!
UV radiation!
Never look directly or indirectly, e.g. via a mirror, into the radiation emitted by the lamp
to avoid the risk of getting conjunctivitis!
Therefore, switch off the lamp for lamp replacement!
Lamp damage!
Do not grasp functioning halogen and deuterium lamps on their glass bulbs.
Contamination on the bulb affects the radiation properties of the lamps.
Especially protect the beam-exit window of the deuterium lamp.
Accumulation of heat
Heat accumulation might result in overheating and faults on the device.
Make sure not to cover the ventilation slots of the SP-UV 200!
Before you switch on the SP-UV 200, remove its dust cover!
Handling liquids
Take care to ensure that no liquids can enter the SP-UV 200 to avoid any damage to the device.
Risk of corrosion
Do not set up the device in the vicinity of aggressive vapors, e.g. strongly corrosive acid or caustic vapors!
The vapors might corrode the connections, mechanical and optical components of the device.
Avoid exposing the sample compartment to strongly corrosive substances! For the analysis of such samples,
User’s Manual SP-UV 200 7
Spectrum Instruments
use vapor-tight stoppered cells.
After the measureme
nt, do not leave the samples unnecessarily long in the sample compartment of the
device!
3 Disposal
The owner/operator of the SP-UV 200 must ensure to dispose of the waste material (samples) cropping up
in the analyses in accordance with the relevant legal and local regulations.
When the service life of the device is over, dispose of the device with its electronic components as electronic
scrap observing the relevant regulations.
