Ensure all these are met before the instrument is delivered. Environmental conditions The site must be: Indoors and away from strong light (windows).

 Away from heat sources like radiators. • Chapter 2 Site requirements Space required Provide enough space to allow easy access to all components and connections. This diagram shows the recommended space for a system. Always place the (optional) PTC-1000 to the left of the instrument as the heat output is from the left side of the PTC-1000 and this will prevent hot air being directed towards the APS.

• Power cord set requirements Power cord sets must meet the requirements of the country where the product is used. For more information, contact a Malvern representative. General requirements The following requirements apply to all countries: The power cord must be approved by an acceptable accredited agency respon- . • As with any software, running other applications at the same time may affect the speed of the Zetasizer software.

Minimum recommended specification Contact the Malvern Helpdesk or website for the recommended computer specifi- cation, otherwise consult the Software update notification document supplied on the software CD. • Zetasizer APS instruments are Class 1 laser products and as such, require no special laser safety considerations during normal operation. However, during servicing (which must be performed by a qualified Malvern representative), the servicing engineer may be exposed to class 3b or above laser radiation.

We therefore recom- mend that the administrative controls recommendations of the Laser Safety Regu- lations (IEC 60825-1(1993) +A1(1997)+A2(2001) are implemented. • Chapter 2 Site requirements Page 2-6 MAN 0494. • Read and fully understand this section before operating the system.

Use of the system in a manner not specified by Malvern Instruments Ltd may impair the protection provided by the system. The instrument must only be stored or operated in environmental conditions con- forming to Chapter 2. • Electrical warnings and Safety regulations Warning! The Zetasizer APS contains high voltage components.

Only Malvern trained personnel are permitted to remove its main cover. The instrument is mains powered and all power cables and electrical sockets should be treated accordingly. Do not place cables where they may become wet. Activator • Power safety information The following notes are guidelines for connecting the Malvern Instruments power supply using single and multiple extension leads, connection via AC Adapters and use of Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS). • The AC adapter may become hot during normal operation. Take care when  handling the adapter during or immediately after operation. Use only the Malvern-provided AC adapter approved for use with the instru-  ment and/or accessory.
