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.
