3.3.2 Damage to device
NOTICE! Damage from the use of aggressive chemicals.
 Do not use any aggressive chemicals on the device or its accessories, such as strong and
weak bases, strong acids, acetone, formaldehyde, halogenated hydrocarbons or phenol.
 If the device has been contaminated by aggressive chemicals, immediately clean it by
means of a mild cleaning agent.
NOTICE! Damage to the device from fumigating with aggressive chemicals.
 Do not use fumigation to disinfect the device.
NOTICE! Corrosion from aggressive cleaning agents and disinfectants.
 Do not use corrosive cleaning agents, aggressive solvents or abrasive polishes.
 Do not incubate the accessories in aggressive cleaning agents or disinfectants for a longer
period of time.
NOTICE! Damage and measurement errors due to condensation water.
With high humidity, condensation water can form on a cuvette with a temperature
significantly lower than ambient temperature. The condensate may cause damage to the
optics as well as incorrect measuring results.
 Do not insert any cuvettes into the cuvette shaft with a temperature that is significantly
lower than the ambient temperature.
 The temperature of the cuvette should not remain significantly below the ambient
temperature for a longer period of time.
 If required, observe the actual dew point.
NOTICE! Damage to electronic components due to condensation.
Condensate can form in the device after it has been moved from a cool environment to a
warmer environment.
 After installing the device, wait at least for 3 h. Only then connect the device to the mains.
NOTICE! Function impairment due to mechanical damage.
 After mechanical damage to the device, ensure that the measuring and evaluation
functions of the device are operating correctly by completing an inspection.
NOTICE! Damage from overheating.
 Do not install the device near to any heat sources (e.g., heating, drying cabinet).
 Do not expose the device to direct sunlight.
 Ensure unobstructed air circulation. Keep free a clearance of at least 5 cm around all
ventilation grilles.
