2.2 Authorized use
The authorized use of the photometer consists exclusively of the carrying out
of photometric measurements according to this operating manual. Follow the
technical specifications of the cells in chapter 7 T
ECHNICAL DATA. Any other
use is considered to be unauthorized.
2.3 General safety instructions
The photometer is built and inspected according to the relevant guidelines
and norms for electronic instruments (see chapter 7 T
ECHNICAL DATA). It left
the factory in a safe and secure technical condition.
Note
Opening the photometer or adjustment and repair work must only be
performed by specialist personnel authorized by the manufacturer.
Noncompliance invalidates any claim with regard to the warranty.
Function and
operational safety
The smooth functioning and operational safety of the photometer can only be
guaranteed if the generally applicable safety measures and the specific
safety instructions in this operating manual are followed during operation.
The smooth functioning and operational safety of the photometer can only be
guaranteed under the environmental conditions that are specified in chapter
7 T
ECHNICAL DATA.
If the photometer was transported from a cold environment to a warm
environment, the formation of condensate can lead to the faulty functioning
of the meter. In this event, wait until the temperature of the meter reaches
room temperature before putting the meter back into operation.
Safe operation If safe operation is no longer possible, the photometer must be taken out of
operation and secured against inadvertent operation.
Safe operation is no longer possible if the photometer:
z has been damaged in transport
z has been stored under adverse conditions for a lengthy period of time
z is visibly damaged
z no longer operates as described in this manual.
If you are in any doubt, contact the supplier of your photometer.
