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 and 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.
Unit Design. This equipment is specifically
designed for use in accordance with the
applicable standard test methods listed in
section 1.2 of this 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.
Over Temperature Protection. This unit is
equipped with Over Temperature Protection
(OTP) circuitry to prevent overheating. The unit
will automatically interrupt power whether
equipment malfunction or operator error causes
the temperature to exceed either 20 °C above
the set point or 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.
Chemical Reagents Information. Chemicals
and reagents used in performing the test may
exhibit potential hazards. Any user must be
familiarized with the possible dangers before
use. We also recommend consulting the
Material Data and Safety Sheet (MSDS) on each
chemical reagent for additional information.
