INTRODUCTION

Our SemiChem APM 200 (advanced process monitor) 
application guide provides step-by-step instructions  
for properly configuring the SemiChem APM 200 for 
the DSP+ application for measuring low level HF and 
hydrogen peroxide only. This guide is designed for 
trained and qualified personnel. It is complimentary 
to the SemiChem APM 200 Installation and Operating 
Manual, not a replacement.

A.1 PRECAUTIONS

Be sure any personnel working on the SemiChem  
APM 200 has read and understands the Installation  
and Operating Manual. There are inherent hazards  
to working with the SemiChem APM 200.

WARNING: Service of the SemiChem APM 200 
may cause exposure to hazardous conditions 
including chemical, electrical, and mechanical 
dangers. Personnel should be properly trained 
in all areas before attempting to service or 
troubleshoot the analyzer.

WARNING: Electrical Precaution: High  
voltage electronics (110/220 VAC) are located 
throughout the electronics module. Printed 
circuit boards are powered with 24 VDC. All 
service should be performed by a qualified 
electrician/electrical technician.

WARNING: Chemical Precaution: Corrosive  
or poisonous liquids. Some reagents may  
be corrosive to the eyes, skin, and respiratory 
tract and may be hazardous if ingested. Wear 
chemical resistant gloves, face shield, and 
apron when changing the burette O-ring. See 
MSDS for further health hazard information.  
To minimize chemical exposure, purge the 
burette with air by removing the reagent intake 
line from the reagent bottle, then flush the 
appropriate burette. This will remove most  
of the reagent from the burette assembly.  
If replacing the burette glass, consult with 
on-site environmental personnel for proper 
disposal of remaining reagents. If replacing  
a burette O-ring, keep the burette glass 
assembly within the enclosure for proper 
exhaust of fumes.

It is the user's responsibility to fully understand the  
use, application, and hazards associated with the 
SemiChem APM 200. Refer to the SemiChem APM 200  
Installation and Operating Manual for more information.
