2.3 Intended use

The analyzer was developed primarily for elemental analysis of organic samples (combustibles,
soils). Furthermore, an analysis of ores or building materials is possible under certain conditions.
Depending on the application, the sample weights, accelerator(s) and settings on the analyzer
can significantly influence the accuracy and precision of the measured values.

Therefore, use is permitted only in the laboratory by appropriately trained and instructed
personnel. All other applications are not permitted, especially in the private sector.

2.4 Improper use

Private use is not permitted. Repairs and modifications may only be carried out by Eltra GmbH,
or an authorized representative, or by qualified service technicians.
