1 Safety

This quick guide contains basic instructions that you must follow

during the commissioning, operation and maintenance of the

spectrophotometer. Consequently, all responsible personnel must

read this operating manual carefully before working with the

meter. Keep this operating manual in the vicinity of the meter.

Safety instructions

Safety instructions in this operating manual are indicated by

the warning symbol (triangle) in the left margin. The signal word

(such as “CAUTION") indicates the danger level. The following

warning symbols are used:

Symbols Description

WARNING

3 Getting started

3.1 General notes on handling

The Spectroquant® Prove spectrophotometer is an optical preci-

sion instrument. It should always be handled with care, especially

when in mobile use. Always protect the instrument from condi-

tions that could damage the mechanical, optical and electrical

components. Please note the following in particular:

•The temperature and humidity during operation and storage

mustbewithinthelimitsspeci󹭯edinthe“TechnicalData"

section (see operating manual)

The instrument must never be exposed to the following:

•Extreme dust, humidity and moisture

•Intense light and heat

•Fumes that are corrosive or contain high concentrations

of solvents

In addition take care of the following:

• Formeasuring,theinstrumentmustbeplacedona󹭰at

surface

•Spilled liquid or other material should be removed immediately

(see operating manual)

•If a cell has broken in the cell holder, the cell holder should be

cleaned immediately (see operating manual)

•The cover should always be closed when the spectrophoto-

meter is not in use

•When the spectrophotometer is being transported, the cell

compartment must be empty

3.2 Initial setup

Proceed as follows:

•Connect the power adapter (see Section 3.2.1)

•Switch on the spectrophotometer (see Section 3.2.2)

•Set the language (see Section 3.2.3)

•Set the date and time (see Section 3.2.4)

•Run the self-test (see Section 3.2.5)

3.2.1 Connecting the power supply

Power is supplied through the power adapter provided. The power

adapter supplies the spectrophotometer with the required voltage

and type of current (24 V DC).

CAUTION

The line voltage at the user location must fulfil the specifications

stated on the power adapter (the specifications are also indicated in

the operating manual). Only ever use the 24 V power adapter

provided. Please note that damage caused by using a different

power adapter than the one supplied voids all warranty claims.

Connecting the power adapter:

1. Connect the miniplug 1of the power adapter to the socket

2of the spectrophotometer.

2. Connect the power adapter to a wall socket.
