Finding A Suitable Location For The Ramanmicro 300 - PerkinElmer RamanMicro 300 Series Getting Started Manual

Finding a Suitable Location for the
RamanMicro 300
The following conditions should be observed:
The environment must be suitable for a Class 3B laser system.
•
If your RamanMicro 300 has a manual stage there must be 1 power point for the
•
microscope in addition to the power points required for the spectrometer module. If
your RamanMicro 300 has a motorized stage there must be 2 power points (1 for the
microscope, 1 for the stage control box) in addition to the power points required for the
spectrometer module.
• The workbench must be flat and level.
The workbench where the microscope is located should be at a suitable height to allow
•
the user to work comfortably.
Use conducting floor coverings to minimize static discharge.
•
• Floor vibrations or noise from heavy manufacturing equipment can affect the
performance of the instrument.
• Intense magnetic fields should be at least 5.5 meters (18 feet) away from the
spectrometer.
• Never place the instrument near a window that gets direct sunlight.
