Basic Safety Measures - NT-MDT NTEGRA Spectra Instruction Manual

NTEGRA Spectra Probe NanoLaboratory. (Inverted Configuration with Renishaw Spectrometer).

3. Basic Safety Measures

General Safety Measures
− Ground the instrument before operation!
− Do not disassemble any part of the instrument. Disassembling of the product is
permitted only to persons certified by NT-MDT Co.
− Do not connect additional devices to the instrument without prior advice from
NT-MDT Co.
− The instrument contains precision electro-mechanical parts. Therefore, protect it from
mechanical shocks.
− Protect the instrument against the influence of extreme temperature and moisture.
− For transport, provide proper packaging of the instrument to avoid its damage.
Electronics
− To reduce possible influence of power line disturbances on the measurements, use of a
surge filter is recommended for electrical supply of the instrument units.
− Before operation, set the voltage selector of the SPM controller to the position
corresponding to local electrical power line (this is only done with the controller
being off!).
− Switch the instrument off before any operation on connecting/disconnecting its cable
connectors. Disconnecting or connecting the cable connectors during operations may
cause damage to the electronic circuit and disable the instrument. A warning label is
attached to the SPM controller of the instrument (Fig. 3-1).
Laser
− Observe safety measures for operation with devices containing sources of laser
radiation. See warning labels on the laser sources and on AFM measuring heads
(Fig. 3-2).
