2  Safety Information and Warnings 

 

Safety Considerations. 

The use of this 

equipment may involve hazardous materials and 
operations. This manual does not purport to 
address all of the safety problems associated 
with the use of this equipment. It is the 
responsibility of any user of this equipment to 
investigate, research, and establish appropriate 
safety and health practices and determine the 
applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 
 

Equipment Modifications and Replacement 

Parts. 

Any modification or alteration of this 

equipment from that of factory specifications is 
not recommended, voids the manufacturer 
warranty, product safety, performance 
specifications, and/or certifications whether 

specified or implied, and may result in personal 
injury and/or property loss. Replacement parts 
must be O.E.M. exact replacement equipment. 
 

Internal Access.

 If internal access into the 

instrument is necessary, the analyzer must be 
disconnected from the main power supply 
otherwise electrical hazards may be 
experienced. Be extremely careful because of 
electrical shock and danger of personal injury. 
 

Unit Design. 

This equipment is specifically 

designed for use in accordance with the 
applicable standard test methods listed in 
section 1.2 of the operator’s manual. The use of 
this equipment in accordance with any other test 
procedures, or for any other purpose, is not 
recommended and may be extremely 
hazardous.  
 

Fire Safety. 

This equipment is designed with 

an automatic fire extinguishing system. The 
system must be checked periodically for proper 
operation. 
 

Troubleshooting. 

 In the case of 

troubleshooting the instrument, it is important to 
be careful with the electronic boards. They are 
static sensitive and it is absolutely necessary 
that the operator has to be grounded before 
touching the boards. 
 

Overtemperature Protection.

 This unit is 

equipped with Overtemperature Protection 
(OTP) circuitry to prevent overheating. The unit 
will automatically interrupt power whether 
equipment malfunction or operator error causes 
the temperature to exceed the maximum 
recommended temperature range. The power 
can only then be restored by identifying and 
correcting the problem, allowing the unit to 
return to normal operating temperatures, and 
resetting the power to the unit. 
 

Heater Element. 

The heater element (heating 

coil) of the distillation unit, installed in the 
heating area within the flask support has to be 
inspected at least every 3 months. If any short 
circuits of the windings are observed, it is 
necessary to use a new heater element. It is 
important to do this exchange very carefully. The 
windings must not have a short circuit and need 
to be adjusted carefully before operation. Do 
NOT touch the heater element after a distillation 
run. The element could still be extremely hot and 
one could experience personal injuries.
