¡
The ventilation equipment on the device must be in good working condition.
Covered ventilation grilles or slots etc. may cause the device to break down or
may cause damage to it.
¡
Modifications, conversions and extensions to the device are only permitted after
consultation with Analytik Jena. Unauthorized modifications can jeopardize the
device’s operational safety and may lead to limitations regarding the warranty
and access to customer service.
¡
Be careful to avoid crushing or pinching injuries when closing the device.
¡
The use of oil between the samples and the sample block is not necessary to
achieve an improved heat exchange. However, if you still want to use oil, you
should use mineral oil. Do not use silicone oil.
¡
Ensure that no liquid enters the interior of the device, for example at cable con-
nections. There is a danger of electric shock.
There is a risk of burns on the device. The following has to be observed:
¡
The thermal block, the samples, and the heated lid reach high temperatures.
There is a risk of burns during contact.
¡
Keep all combustible materials away from the device.
¡
Verify that the lid is securely closed before starting the program. Do not touch
the heated lid during operation.
¡
The rapid heating of the thermal block can cause liquids to boil explosively. Al-
ways wear safety goggles during operation.
¡
Do not touch hot sample vessels or plates and do not open them as boiling liquid
may escape.
¡
Only use consumables such as plates and tubes that are suitable for high tem-
peratures up to 100 °C, that fit well into the thermal block without shaking, and
whose lids or sealing foils seal tightly.
2.4.2
Safety instructions – protection against explosion and fire
The device may not be operated in an explosive environment.
2.4.3
Safety instructions – electrical equipment
Lethal voltages may occur in the device! Contact with live components may cause
death, serious injury or painful electrical shock.
¡
Work on the electronics may only be carried out by the customer service of Ana-
lytik Jena and specially authorized technicians.
¡
The electrical components must be checked regularly by a qualified electrician.
Any defects such as loose connections or faulty or damaged cables must be re-
paired without delay.
¡
Before opening the device’s housing, the device must be switched off using the
mains switch and the mains plug must be disconnected from the power outlet.
¡
The power plug must be connected to a properly installed and rated power outlet
to ensure that the device meets protection class I (ground connector). Before
connecting the device to the mains network set the correct operating voltage at
the voltage switch on the underside of the device. Do not replace the removable
power cable of the device with a power cable that does not meet the specifica-
tions (with no protective ground conductor). Extensions of the supply cable are
not permitted.
¡
In the event of interferences with electric components, the device must be
switched off immediately using the power switch (on the equipment backplate)
and the power supply disconnected from the mains.
