Creating the Lab Environment
To create satisfactory operating conditions in your lab environment,
follow these guidelines:
• Operate the ASX-1400 Autosampler in a conventional lab
environment where the temperature is 50–95 °F (10–35 °C), the
humidity is 20–70% non-condensing, and the unit is not exposed to
excessive flammable or corrosive materials.
• Avoid rough handling of the ASX-1400 Autosampler. If possible, do
not expose the autosampler to vibration or shock.
• Protect the autosampler from long-term exposure to condensation,
corrosive materials, solvent vapor, continual standing liquids, or
large spills into the autosampler cabinet or arm. Exposures of this
type can damage the drive mechanisms as well as the electronics.
• Observe the same general electrostatic discharge precautions as
with any other integrated circuit electronic devices. Low humidity
environments, especially when combined with static-generating
materials, require maximum care.
Discharge static buildup and ground to the autosampler base or
cabinet before performing any maintenance. Do not touch or
short-circuit bare contacts, COM1, DILUTOR, or auxiliary ports.
• Avoid using the ASX-1400 Autosampler if strong electromagnetic
interference, radio frequency interference, or radioactivity is
present. Interference fields can cause erratic operation of the
autosampler. The autosampler will not function properly if the level
of radioactivity is above background.
