8.3 Checking the device
Requirements
• Observe the ambient conditions (see Ambient conditions on p. 85).
• Carry out an inspection at approx. 20 °C. Avoid temperature variations (e.g, due to opened windows).
• The filter may only be removed from the filter box for a short period of time, and the filter surfaces must
be protected from contamination or damage.
• Protect the filter from dust, heat, liquids and aggressive vapors.
• The filter is inserted so that the label, with the name of the filter, points toward the detector.
When the spectrometer unit is checked: label points forward.
• The cuvette shaft is free from contamination.
When the photometer is not being used, close the cuvette shaft using the blue cuvette shaft
cover to protect it from dust and other contamination.
DANGER! Electric shock as a result of penetration of liquid.
 Switch off the device and disconnect the power plug before starting cleaning or
disinfection work.
 Do not allow any liquids to penetrate the inside of the housing.
 Do not spray clean/spray disinfect the housing.
 Only plug the device back in if it is completely dry, both inside and outside.
