and 35°C.
AQUALABO ANALYSE equipment is carefully inspected before it is packed. As soon as you receive your equipment, check the
condition of the packaging and if you notice any problems, notify your carrier within 48 hours. Then consult the packing list and check
that everything is in order. Finally, if you discover that something is missing, or if the goods are damaged immediately notify
AQUALABO ANALYSE.
The main differences between UviLine 9300 and UviLine 9600 spectrophotometers are the wavelengths ranges and the light sources.
UviLine 8100C / 9100C / 9300
Wavelengths range: 320 – 1100 nm
Light source: Halogen lamp 5VDC 10W
UviLine 9400C / 9600
Wavelengths range: 190 – 1100 nm
Light source: Xenon lamp.

3 SAFETY
1.1 SAFETY INFORMATION
1.1.1 S AFETY INFORMATION IN THE OPERATING MANUAL
This operating manual provides important information on the safe operation of the product. Read this operating manual
thoroughly and make yourself familiar with the product before putting it into operation or working with it. The operating
manual must be kept in the vicinity of the product so you can always find the information you need.
Important safety instructions are highlighted in this operating manual. They are indicated by the warning symbol (triangle)
in the left column. The signal word (e.g. "CAUTION") indicates the level of danger:
WARNING
Indicates a possibly dangerous situation that can lead to serious (irreversible) injury or
death if the safety instruction is not followed.
1.1.2 S AFETY SIGNS ON THE PRODUCT
Note all labels, information signs and safety symbols on the product. A warning symbol (triangle) without text refers to
safety information in this operating manual.
1.2 SAFE OPERATION
1.2.1 A UTHORIZED 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. Any other use is considered unauthorized.
1.2.2 R EQUIREMENTS FOR SAFE OPERATION
Note the following points for safe operation:
-The product may only be operated according to the authorized use specified above.
-The product may only be supplied with power by the energy sources mentioned in this operating manual.
-The product may only be operated under the environmental conditions mentioned in this operating manual.
-The product may not be opened.
1.2.3 U NAUTHORIZED USE
The product must not be put into operation if:
-it is visibly damaged (e.g. after being transported)
-it was stored under adverse conditions for a lengthy period of time
. User qualification
Carrying out photometric determinations with the aid of test sets frequently requires the handling of hazardous
substances.
We assume that the operating personnel know how to handle hazardous substances due to their professional training and
experience. The operating personnel must particularly be able to understand and correctly implement the safety labels
and safety instructions on the packages and inserts of the test sets.

UviLine Series

1.3 HANDLING OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES
When developing test sets, Orchidis carefully sees that the tests can be carried out as safely as possible. Some hazards
by dangerous substances, however, cannot always be avoided.
If self-produced tests or solutions are used, the responsibility concerning any risks caused by those tests or soulutions lies
with the user (personal responsibility).
WARNING
Improper handling of certain reagents can cause damage to your health. In any case follow
the safety labels on the packing and the safety instructions of the package insert. Protective
measures specified there have to be followed exactly.
Safety datasheets
The safety datasheets of the chemicals comprise all instructions on safe handling occurring hazards,
preventive actions and actions to take in hazardous situations. Follow these instructions in order to
work safely.
1.4 GENERAL NOTES ON HANDLING
The UviLine instruments are an optical precision meters. Therefore, it should always be handled with care, especially in
mobile use.
Always protect the meter from conditions that could damage the mechanical, optical and electronic components.
Heed the following points especially:
The temperature and humidity during operation and storage must be within the limits specified in chapter
TECHNICAL DATA.
The following influences always have to be avoided with the meter:
– Extreme dust, moisture and wetness
– Exposure to intensive light and heat
– Fumes that are corrosive or contain high concentrations of solvents.
For measuring, the meter must be placed on a flat surface.
Spilled liquid or other material should be removed immediately
If a cell has broken in the cell shaft, the cell shaft should be cleaned immediately
The cell shaft should always be closed when the photometer is not used.
For the instrument to be transported the cell shaft has to be empty.
For mobile used we recommend using the suitable transport case
Always make sure that the instrument is connected on the good voltage. (Between 100 – 240V 50-60Hz)
When dangerous substances for health and environment are used, the laboratory or site rules, where the
instrument is installed must be followed.
Take all the necessary precautions, during the use the instrument, to protect the operator from eventual liquids
leaks or spills or possible radiations (protective gloves, anti-UV radiation glasses , protected clothes, etc)
Keep the sample compartment clean.
The Xenon lamp used in the UviLine 9400C & 9600 emits UV radiation.
Install the instrument in a ventilated area because it is likely to generate ozone, which, beyond the limits below,
can harm health. Exposure average value = 100 ppb
Exposure limits value = 200 ppb
All operations made inside the instrument, must be done by AQUALABO ANALYSE or by AQUALABO
ANALYSE’s authorized technicians.
1.5 PACKING
The spectrophotometer is sent out in a protective transport packing. Keep the original packing including the inner packing
to protect the instrument against hard shocks if it has to be transported.The original packing is also required for the proper
return of the instrument if it has to be repaired. Note that damage caused by improper transport voids all warranty claims.

1.8.4 A LPHANUMERIC KEYBOARD
Numerals, letters, punctuation marks and special characters are entered with the alphanumeric keypad of the meter or
using an external keyboard.
1.8.4.1 Characters sets
The following characters are available:
•Numerals (0 ... 9)
•Letters (A ... Z) and (a ... z).
•Punctuation marks (. and -)
•Special characters ° / + ∆, Σ, µ, #, %, : et ()
1.8.4.2 Command principle
Entering characters is always possible if there is an input field on the display.
The numerals and characters (expect for the small letters) assigned to the keys of the alphanumeric keypad are printed on
the keys.
Example: With the <2/ABC> key you can enter the following characters: 2, A, B, C, a, b, c.
Select the required character by pressing the key several times (similar to a mobile phone). When pressing a key that is
assigned to several characters once, the respective numeral appears first.
To enter a numeral, one key pressing is always sufficient.
When pressing the key for the first time a line pops up that displays all characters possible with this key. The currently
selected character is highlighted.
A character is taken over in the input field if
•the character is highlighted for more than one second,
•the character is confirmed with <START·ENTER>,
•Another alphanumeric key is pressed.
Remark
During mere number entries (such as entering a wavelength), the keys of the alphanumeric keypad are assigned to the
respective numeral only. Each pressing key directly enters the numeral (like a pocket calculator).
1.8.4.3 Special characters
To enter special characters, use <1/*> key.
1.8.4.4 How to correct a bad character
Use <◄> key, to delete all characters until THE INCORRECT one and start again the entries from there.
