Safety regulations and installation requirements

（1） Core Security Warning

Electrical safety:

The equipment is an IEC Class I safety device and must be connected to a protective grounding. The power cord must use a grounded three core wire and the voltage must match the rated value of the equipment (90-264VAC, 50/60Hz);

Do not plug or unplug connectors when the power is turned on, and do not cut off internal/external grounding wires to avoid electric shock or equipment damage.

Laser safety (including L1 built-in light source model):

The equipment is an IEC 60825-1:2014 Class 1 laser product with a built-in reference light source (wavelength 1.53 μ m, output power 0.04mW). Infrared light is continuously emitted from the optical output connector, and direct viewing is strictly prohibited as it may cause visual impairment;

Avoid direct laser irradiation on the human body, especially the eyes, during measurement.

Environmental safety:

Prohibited from use in flammable and explosive environments, rainy or humid places;

The equipment is a Class A device used in industrial environments and may cause radio interference when used in residential areas. Users need to solve the interference problem themselves.

（2） Installation conditions

Physical environment:

The installation position should be horizontally stable to avoid vibration (vibration may cause a decrease in monochromator accuracy and measurement interruption);

There are ventilation holes on the side and back of the equipment, and the distance between the ventilation holes and surrounding objects should be kept at least 200mm to prevent internal overheating;

Environmental temperature: 5-35 ℃, humidity: 20% -80% RH (non condensing), avoid direct sunlight, near heat sources, and dust/corrosive gas environments.

Rack installation (requires separate purchase of rack kit):

|Kit Name | Model | Specification|

|EIA Single Installation Rack Kit | 751533-E4 | Suitable for EIA Standard Rack|

|JIS Single Installation Rack Kit | 751533-J4 | Suitable for JIS standard racks, etc|

During installation, it is necessary to remove the handles on both sides of the device and the bottom support feet to ensure that there is a reserved space of ≥ 10cm around the rack for heat dissipation, and the bottom support does not block the ventilation holes.

Equipment operation: from configuration to measurement

（1） Hardware connection and software configuration

Core hardware connection:

Optical interface connection: Optical input and calibration output need to be connected to optical fibers through corresponding connector adapters (such as AQ9447, AQ9441), and only FC/SC type optical connectors are supported;
