1.2.1 Additional M390S Safety Notifications
1. This M390S may not be used for any purpose other than the function for which it was
designed, namely, a high temperature blackbody radiance temperature source.
2. If the power cable requires replacement, replace only with equal, approved cable.
3. Cabinet covers may be removed while in operation if required for trouble shooting only.
DANGER -- High voltages and currents are present inside the enclosure.
4. Do not look into the blackbody cavity when temperatures are above 1100 °C. Temporary
flash blindness can occur at temperatures > 1200 °C assuming the eye blink response of
0.15s. Permanent eye damage could occur if you continuously stare at blackbody
temperatures about 1200 °C without protection. (Calculations suggest that permanent
damage would not occur with 0.15s blink exposure at 3000 °C.)
5. Do not attempt to operate with any of the safety features bypassed or disconnected.
