KNAUER
10D User Manual V7670, Version 2.3
Where is use of the
device prohibited?
Never use the system in potentially explosive atmospheres with-
out appropriate protective equipment. For further information,
contact the Technical Support of KNAUER (see See “Contacting
the Technical Support” on page 13.).
Take the device out of
operation
At any time, take the device completely out of operation by
either switching off the power switch or by pulling the power
plug.
Opening the module
The device may only be opened by the Technical Support of the
manufacturer or any authorized person (see See “Contacting the
Technical Support” on page 13.).
Flammability
Organic eluents are highly flammable. Since capillaries can
detach from their screw fittings and allow eluent to escape, it
is prohibited to have any open flames near the analytical sys-
tem.
Leaks
Regularly check if any system components are leaking.
Solvent tray
Risk of electrical shock or short circuit if liquids get into the
device's interior. For this reason, place all bottles in a solvent
tray.
Eluent lines
Install capillaries and hoses in such a way that liquids cannot
get into the interior in case of a leak.
Power strip
If several devices are connected to one power strip, always
consider the maximum power consumption of each device.
Power cable
Defective power cables are not to be used to connect the
device and the mains power.
Self-ignition point
Only use eluents that have a self-ignition point higher than
150 °C under normal ambient conditions.
Power supply
Only connect devices to voltage sources, whose voltage
equals the device's voltage.
Toxicity
Organic solvents are toxic above a certain concentration.
Ensure that work areas are always well-ventilated! Wear pro-
tective gloves and safety glasses when working on the device!
UV light
Concentrated
UV light can disperse from a detector without
flow cell or from the optical fiber, which leads to irritation of
the retina. When the flow cell
or the fiber optic are replaced,
switch the device off and pull the power plug.
