Warnings & Cautions
Warnings
This device may cause radio interference or may disrupt the operation of nearby
equipment. It may be necessary to take mitigation measures such as re-orienting,
relocating or shielding the location.
Cautions
Caution: Do not let contaminants get into the bench. Keep the protective cap on the slit
aperture when not connected to an accessory, probe or fiber.
Caution: Only change the slit aperture in a clean environment where contaminants including
dust cannot enter the bench during the procedure.
Caution: Substitution of a component or accessory different from that supplied may result in
measurement error, equipment damage, increased emissions or decreased immunity.
Caution: Repairs should be undertaken only by personnel trained or authorized by Ocean
Optics. The device does not contain any user serviceable parts.
Caution: Do not immerse the device in any fluid, place fluids on top of or attempt to clean with
liquid detergents or cleaning agents. This may cause an electrical hazard. Do not
use if accidental wetting occurs.
Caution: Do not remove any covers. Doing so may increase the risk of electrical shock or
compromise the integrity of the optical components.
Caution: Do not gas sterilize or autoclave this device.
Caution: Consult local codes and ordinances for proper disposal of equipment and other
consumable goods.
Caution: The device and/or accessories may not operate correctly if used or stored outside the
relevant temperature and humidity ranges described in the Technical Specifications.
Caution: Do not use if device is dropped and/or damaged. Have an authorized service
representative check the device before using again.
Caution: Be sure to install any software BEFORE connecting the spectrometer to your PC. The
software installs the drivers required for spectrometer installation. If you do not install
the software first, the system will not properly recognize the spectrometer.
Caution: To ensure reliable operation, it is recommended that the power supply be attached
prior to inserting the USB connector.
Caution: The user of this spectrometer shall have the sole responsibility for any malfunction
which results from improper use, faulty maintenance, improper repair, damage or
alteration by anyone other than Ocean Optics or their authorized service personnel.
