Optical Radiation; Electromagnetic Interference; Operational - Sutter Instrument LAMBDA 10-B Operation Manual

vi
▪
Do not disassemble the system. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
▪
To prevent fire or shock hazard do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.

Optical Radiation

This system is designed for use in conjunction with high-intensity light sources. Failure to
comply with any of the following precautions may result in injury to the users of this device
as well as those working in the general area near the device.
▪
Never look into the optical pathway of the high intensity light sources typically used
with this instrument. Doing so can cause permanent eye damage.
▪
The high-intensity light sources typically used with this instrument also produce a
significant amount of heat. Direct contact with the housing of those instruments can
cause serious burns.
▪
The SmartShutter is Not a Safety Shutter: Sutter Instrument Co.'s SmartShutter is
not intended to be a 'safety shutter.' A safety shutter usually closes automatically in the
event of a power failure and is designed with the primary goal of ensuring that it will not
allow any unintended exposure. For laser safety applications, a shutter is normally
designed so that no single component failure allows an unintended exposure to the laser
beam. The SmartShutter is intended for use in the controlling of light in scientific and
industrial applications. The SmartShutter was designed for high performance and
durability, but without certain features that would be desirable in a safety shutter
application.

Electromagnetic Interference

To comply with FDA and CE electromagnetic immunity and interference standards; and to
reduce the electromagnetic coupling between this and other equipment in your lab always
use the type and length of interconnect cables provided with the unit for the interconnection
of one or more filter wheels and/or shutters, host computer via serial RS-232 or USB
interface, or other equipment via TTL connections (see the TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
appendix for more details).

Operational

Failure to comply with any of the following precautions may damage this device.
This instrument is designed for operation in a laboratory environment (Pollution Degree
◼
I).
This unit is not designed for operation at altitudes above 2000 meters nor was it tested
◼
for safety above 2000 meters.
DO NOT CONNECT OR DISCONNECT THE CABLES BETWEEN THE
◼
CONTROLLER AND THE MECHANICAL UNITS WHILE POWER IS ON.
Please allow at least 20 seconds after turning the unit off before disconnecting the
mechanical units. Failure to do this may result in damage to the electronics.
