Operators and service personnel must be aware of all hazards associated with this equipment. They must know how to
recognize hazardous and potentially hazardous conditions, and know how to avoid them. The consequences of
unskilled, improper, or careless operation of the equipment can be serious. Every operator or service person must read
and thoroughly understand operation/maintenance manuals and any additional information provided by Varian. All
warning and cautions must be read carefully and strictly observed. Consult local, state, and national agencies
regarding specific requirements and regulations. Address any safety, operation, and/or maintenance questions to your
nearest Varian office.
Solvents
WARNING
The mechanical components of leak detectors may be cleaned with one of the
recommended solvents. When heated, sprayed, or exposed to high-temperature
equipment, these solvents become flammable and explosive, causing serious
injury or death. Do not use these solvents near a high-temperature source. Ventilate
the working area with a blower and work in a large, well-ventilated room.
Solvents are irritants, narcotics, depressants and/or carcinogens. Their inhalation
and/or ingestion may produce serious side effects. Prolonged or continued contact
with the skin results in absorption through the skin and moderate toxicity. Always
ensure that cleaning operations are carried out in large, well-ventilated rooms, and
wear eye shields, gloves, and protective clothing.
Due to the effective cleaning nature of VacuSolv solvent and its residue-free
properties, Varian’ Component and Spectrometer Cleaning Kit (Part Number
670029096), used in accordance with the kit instructions, is recommended for
cleaning spectrometer components. The kit can also be used for fine cleaning of
other parts in the leak detector’s vacuum system such as valves and fittings. No
rinsing steps or high-temperature drying is required following cleaning with
VacuSolv. Although appropriate precautions are advised, VacuSolv is compatible
with most materials and does not contain toxic chemicals or CFCs
(chlorofluorocarbons). Other acceptable solvents are isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or
Dow Corning
®
OS-20.
To clean the leak detector plastic enclosure, the LCD display and Front Panel
buttons, use only a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild soap.
Do NOT use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.
Avoid splashing any cleaning solvents into the unit through the ventilation
openings or Front Panel buttons. Wipe the surface with a dry lint-free cloth.
Vacuum Equipment and Cleanliness
Cleanliness is vital when servicing the leak detector or any vacuum equipment. There are some techniques that are
more important in leak detector servicing than in general vacuum work:
CAUTION
Wear non-powdered, ESD-safe Nitride or equivalent gloves to prevent skin oils from
getting on spectrometer internal components.
