General Safety - PerkinElmer OilExpress System User Manual

General Safety

The OilExpress System has been designed and tested in accordance with PerkinElmer
specifications and in accordance with the safety requirements of the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The spectrometer conforms to IEC publication 61010-1
("Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory
use") as it applies to IEC Class 1 (earthed) appliances and therefore meets the requirements
of EC low voltage directive 2006/95/EC.
If the instrument is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the instrument may be impaired. Only use the OilExpress System indoors and
under the following conditions:
Temperature: 15 °C to 35 °C
Relative Humidity: 80% maximum (non–condensing)
If possible, avoid any adjustment, maintenance and repair of the opened, operating
instrument. If any adjustment, maintenance and repair of the opened, operating instrument
is necessary, this must only be done by a skilled person who is aware of the hazard involved.
Whenever it is likely that the OilExpress System is unsafe make it inoperative. The OilExpress
System may be unsafe if it:
Shows visible damage.
•
Fails to perform the intended measurement.
•
• Has been subjected to prolonged storage in unfavorable conditions.
• Has been subjected to severe transport stresses.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than

If the equipment is used in a manner not specified herein the protection
WARNING
provided by the equipment may be impaired.
The OilExpress System has been designed to be safe under the following environmental
conditions:
• Indoor use.
Altitude up to 2000 m (above mean sea level).
•
Ambient temperatures of 5 °C to 40 °C.
•
A maximum ambient relative humidity of 80% for temperatures up to 31°C, decreasing
•
linearly to 50% relative humidity at 40 °C.
• Mains supply fluctuations not exceeding ±10% of the nominal voltage.
