Protective Housing; Cleaning The Instrument - Thermo Scientific Antaris II Manual

Protective housing

Cleaning
the instrument
Thermo Fisher Scientific
Note Touching the HeNe laser poses no burn hazard. If you must replace the
laser assembly, you can begin the procedure immediately after turning off
the instrument power.
Danger Never use a flammable gas to purge the instrument. Heat from the source
or internal electrical components could ignite a flammable gas. The purge
gas must be free of moisture, oil and other reactive or infrared-absorbing
materials.
A protective housing covers each instrument and sampling module. This
protects you from exposure to harmful laser or NIR radiation and from
electrical hazards. Never operate the instrument while the housing is
damaged or removed from the instrument.
Caution If a protective cover on the instrument or computer appears damaged, turn
off the system and secure it against any unintended operation. Always
examine the protective cover for transport stresses after shipping.
If the outside of the instrument needs cleaning, turn off the power and
disconnect the power cord from AC power. Then use a damp (not wet),
soft cloth and a mild soap to clean the outside of the instrument. Do not
use harsh detergents, solvents, chemicals or abrasives; these can damage the
finish. See the section entitled "Powering On" for information about the
proper sequence and procedure for powering the instrument and other
system components on and off.
Warning Avoid shock hazard. Do not allow cleaning solutions or liquids to run into
the instrument.
Note
Do not use harsh detergents, solvents, chemicals or abrasives; these can
damage the finish. Do not attempt to clean or even touch the mirror
surfaces inside the instrument. These front-surfaced mirrors are easily
scratched. Dust will not harm the near-infrared signal, but fingerprints and
scratches can degrade spectral performance or permanently damage the
mirrors.
