WARNING: Do not attempt to sample reactive gases (such as hydrogen or oxygen) with
this instrument. Reactive gasses create an explosion hazard in the instrument. Sampling
any gas under pressure can damage the instrument and void the warranty. Sampling any
gas that is not the same density as ambient air can result in inaccurate data. Do NOT
allow water, solvents, or other liquids to enter the instrument via the inlet tube - the
instrument will be damaged and the warranty voided.
WARNING: The use of controls, adjustments or procedures other than those specified
within this manual may result in personal injury and/or damage to this instrument.
Attempts by untrained personnel to disassemble, alter, modify or adjust the electronics
or optics may result in personal injury and damage to the instrument and will void its
warranty. There are no user-serviceable components inside the particle counter. Only
factory authorized service personnel should repair or service this instrument and its
optical system. If replacement of the power supply or its AC power cord is required,
replace it only with a power supply or cord having as good as or better ratings than
specifications provided by Lighthouse Worldwide Solutions. Attempting to use an under-
rated power supply or cord can expose the instrument and adjacent equipment to the
user to dangerous shock and fire hazards. Failure to meet this requirement will void the
CE certification, void the instrument warranty and can result in serious personal injury.

Electrostatic Safety Information
WARNING: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage or destroy electronic components.
Therefore, any service or maintenance work should be done at a static-free work station.
A static-free work station requires an ESD consultant to evaluate the work environment
and propose the equipment and apparel needed for a work station to be successful.
