Safety Practices and Hazards
Agilent Electrothermal Temperature Controller ETC 60 User’s Guide
9
Use of the wrong supply voltage, connection of the accessory to an incorrectly
wired supply outlet, or lack of proper electrical grounding can create a fire hazard or
a shock hazard which can cause death, serious injury, or serious damage to
equipment.
Always use a three-wire outlet with ground connection which is adequately rated for
the load.
The installation must comply with local, state, and national safety regulations.
Ensure that the voltage selector is correctly set for the specific mains power supply
outlet that the ETC 60 will be connected to. You must do this before connecting the
accessory.
A blown fuse should be replaced with one of the size and rating stipulated in the
text adjacent to the fuse holder. Always ensure the accessory is turned off and
disconnected from the mains supply before attempting any replacement.
Chemical Hazards
Operation of an Agilent AA spectrometer may involve the use of materials that are
corrosive or otherwise hazardous. Careless, improper or unskilled use of these
materials can cause serious personal injury or an environmental hazard.
Always ensure that laboratory safety practices governing the use, handling and
disposal of hazardous materials are strictly observed. These safety practices
should include wearing the appropriate safety clothing.
Always ensure that the sample introduction system is thoroughly flushed with
distilled water and that the contents of the drain or waste container are known and
disposed of if necessary before touching any part.
