Page 14: Power Supplies
+ 5 VDC Not connected Fuses The Nicolet FT-IR spectrometers are protected by two 2 A, time-lag (also known as T-type or slow-blow) fuses that are built into the external power supply. The fuses for these spectrometers are not individually replaceable. If the fuses blow, you must replace the power supply. -

Page 16: Grounding
To prevent electrical hazards, do not remove or defeat the ground prong on the power cord, and do not use any cords that are frayed or damaged. If you use an extension cord, it also must have a protective conductor. Nicolet FT-IR Spectrometer Safety Guide Thermo Fisher Scientific... -
Page 17: Laser Safety
For these spectrometers, the accessible laser radiation in the sample compartment is very low, with less than 10 μW of continuous power. For Nicolet FT-IR spectrometers, less than 0.39 mW of laser light is accessible during normal use and maintenance. Class I laser products (FDA-CDRH and IEC 60825-1:2001) are inherently safe. -
