3.1 Environmental Requirements
To ensure correct operation and stable performance over an extended period of time,
install the SmartSpec Plus in a location which meets the following conditions:
•
Room temperature between 15 and 35°C. Not recommended for cold room use (4°C).
• Not exposed to direct sun light.
• Not subject to direct or continuous vibration.
• Not subject to intense magnetic or electromagnetic fields.
• Relative humidity between 0–95%.
• Area free from corrosive gases or other corrosive substances.
• Area with very little dust or other airborne particles.
• Allow a 10 cm minimum space around the instrument for proper air flow.
3.2 Power On and Initial Display
1. Power up SmartSpec. When you turn on SmartSpec Plus, it will go through a
self-diagnostic routine during which it tests the lamp, optical components, diode array,
powersupply and other components. If a problem is detected, an error message will be
displayed and you should call Bio-Rad Technical Support. If boot up is successful and no
errors are detected, the Home screens will be displayed.
