Biotage ELSD-1080
• Ensure the power switch and appliance coupler at the rear of
the detector remain easily accessible at all times.
• Make sure that voltage sources and line voltage match the
value for which the detector is wired.
• Avoid using power supplies from a source that may be
subject to electrical or RF interference from other services
(for example, large electrical motors, elevators and
welders).
• This detector contains a light source, which has been
classified according to the methods specified in IEC 60825-1
Ed 1.2 as a CLASS 1 LED PRODUCT.
Hot Surface Hazards
Hot surfaces may be exposed when the detector is opened.
These are indicated by a warning label. Allow these surfaces to
cool before touching them.
High Pressure Hazards
If a solvent line ruptures, a relief device opens, or a valve
opens accidentally under pressure, potentially hazardous high
liquid pressures can be generated by the pump causing a high
velocity stream of volatile and/or toxic liquids.
• Wear face protection when you inject samples or perform
routine maintenance.
• Never open a solvent line or valve under pressure. Stop the
pump first and let the pressure drop to zero.
• Use shatterproof solvent reservoirs capable of operating at
50/60 psi.
• Keep the solvent reservoir enclosure closed when the
reservoir is under pressure.
• Read and adhere to all NOTES, CAUTIONS, and WARNINGS
in the manual.
Cleaning
The individual or group responsible for the use and
maintenance of this equipment must ensure that appropriate
decontamination is carried out if hazardous material is spilt on
or inside the detector.
Before using any cleaning or decontamination method except
those recommended by Biotage, users should check with
Biotage that the proposed method will not damage the
equipment.
See Appendix 3 for detailed recommended procedures.
Other Precautions
Use of Biotage ELSD-1080 detectors and accessories may
involve materials, solvents and solutions that are flammable,
corrosive, toxic or otherwise hazardous. Careless, improper or
unskilled use of such materials, solvents and solutions can
