Safety Precautions

Failure to comply with the precautions below could lead to injury or death or damage to the instrument.

WARNING

Use the Instrument Only for Its Intended Purpose

The optical measuring instrument is designed to measure the optical characteristics of light sources and evaluate their performance. Do not use this instrument for anything other than as an optical measuring instrument.

Check the Physical Appearance

Do not use the instrument if there is a problem with its physical appearance.

Use the Correct Power Supply

Before connecting the power cord, ensure that the source voltage matches the rated supply voltage of the instrument and that it is within the maximum rated voltage of the provided power cord.

Use the Correct Power Cord and Plug

To prevent the possibility of electric shock or fire, be sure to use the power cord supplied by YOKOGAWA. The main power plug must be plugged into an outlet with a protective earth terminal. Do not disable this protection by using an extension cord without protective earth grounding. Also, do not use the power cord that came with the instrument on any other device.

Connect the Protective Grounding Terminal

Make sure to connect the protective earth to prevent electric shock before turning ON the power. The power cord that comes with the instrument is a three-prong type power cord. Connect the power cord to a properly grounded three-prong outlet.

Do not Impair the Protective Grounding

Never cut off the internal or external protective earth wire or disconnect the wiring of the protective earth terminal. Doing so poses a potential shock hazerd.

Do Not Use When the Protection Functions Are Defective

Before using this instrument, check that the protection functions, such as the protective grounding and fuse, are working properly. If you suspect a defect, do not use the instrument.

Reference light source output light (/LFC, /LSC option)

The instrument has a built-in reference light source for wavelength calibration, and infrared light is always being output from the optical output connector. Never look into the optical output connector. Infrared light entering the eyes can cause severe injury and loss of vision.

Do not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere

Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable liquids or vapors. Operation in such environments constitutes a safety hazard.

Do not Remove the Covers or Disassemble or Alter the Instrument

Only qualified YOKOGAWA personnel may remove the covers and disassemble or alter the instrument. Opening the cover is dangerous, because some areas inside the instrument have high voltages.

2.1 Installing the Instrument

WARNING

• This instrument is designed to be used indoors. Do not install or use it outdoors.

• Install the instrument so that you can immediately remove the power cord if an abnormal or dangerous condition occurs.

• This instrument has a built-in reference light source for wavelength calibration (/ LFC, /LSC option) and transmits infrared light from the optical output connector at all times. Never look into the optical output connector. Infrared light entering the eyes can cause severe injury and loss of vision.

CAUTION

Do Not Apply Shock to the Instrument

Non-horizontal orientation, and do not drop the instrument from a height of 2 cm or more. This can adversely affect the accuracy of the internal monochromator and inhibit performance. Take great care when transporting the instrument, and use packaging with a shock absorbing capacity that is greater than or equal to the packaging used upon shipment from the factory. Never use inferior packaging materials that are unable to sufficiently absorb vibrations and shocks occurring during transport. This can adversely affect the accuracy of the internal monochromator and inhibit performance.

Preparing for Measurement

When unpacking

When the instrument is packaged in a box and moved, prevent condensation by allowing sufficient time for the instrument to acclimatize before removing it from the box.

2.2 Attaching the Connector Adapter

Attach the optional connector adapter before using the instrument.

WARNING

Always turn the power OFF before replacing the connector adapter. This instrument has a built-in reference light source for wavelength calibration (/LFC, /LSC option) and transmits infrared light from the optical output connector at all times. Never look into the optical output connector. Infrared light entering the eyes can cause severe injury and loss of vision.

CAUTION

• As there may be dust adhering to calibration output, be sure to clean it before attaching the connector adapter.

• Do not exhale or blow compressed air into the monochromator from the optical input. Doing so may allow dust or other materials to enter the monochromator, adversely affecting its optical performance. Also, if debris is adhering to the optical components inside the monochromator when a strong light source is input, the monochromator may be damaged.

• When attaching or removing the connector adapter, carefully insert it perpendicularly to the ferrule so as not to damage the ferrule end.

• Moving the connector adapter to the right or left or inserting it forcefully can damage the ferrule or the connector adapter.

2.2 Attaching the Connector Adapter

ATTENTION

• Comme il peut y avoir de la poussière adhérant à la sortie d’étalonnage, assurez-vous de le nettoyer avant de fixer l’adaptateur de connecteur.

• Ne pas expirer ou souffler de l’air comprimé dans le monochromateur de l’entrée optique. Cela pourrait permettre à la poussière ou d’autres matériaux pour entrer dans le monochromateur, nuire à ses performances optiques. En outre, si des débris adhère aux composants optiques à l’intérieur du monochromateur quand une forte source de lumière est entrée, le monochromateur peut être endommagé.

• Lors de la fixation ou du retrait de l’adaptateur de connecteur, insérer soigneusement perpendiculairement à la virole de manière à ne pas endommager l’extrémité virole.

• Déplacement de l’adaptateur de connecteur vers la droite ou vers la gauche ou en l’insérant de force peut endommager la virole ou de l’adaptateur de connecteur.

A connector adapter is required for connecting the optical connector to the AQ6360. On products whose optical connector (optical input) specification is -FC or -SC and those with an /LFC or /LSC option, connector adapters come attached to the optical input and calibration light source output on the instrument’s front panel. On products without these options, attach a connector adapter appropriate for the optical connector.

Note

Attachment Procedure

A different connector adapter is used for OPTICAL INPUT and CALIBRATION OUTPUT. Make sure not to use the wrong connector adapter.

Confirm that the power is OFF. Open the optical connector cover at the front of the instrument. Clean the ferrule edge of the optical I/O section using a swab soaked with a small

amount of pure alcohol.

Insert the connector adapter all the way in. Push the connector adapter’s lock lever down.

The adapter has been attached correctly if the groove in the lock lever interlocks with the latch pin of the optical input/output section.
