Advice on use of Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)
To help protect the instrument and/or dispersion unit from sudden, transient
increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line condi-
tioner or UPS.
Moving the system
If it is necessary to move the system, follow these guidelines.
Moving the optical unit
Disconnect the computer and power supply before trying to move the system.
Warning!
The optical unit weighs 21kg. Adopt proper lifting techniques to avoid
back injury.
Always lift the instrument by holding it under both of its short sides, with a
firm grip on the metal base plate. Never lift an instrument by its covers.
If moving the instrument large distances, we recommend repacking the instru-
ment in its original packaging.
Moving sample dispersion units
If it is necessary to move the dispersion unit, follow these guidelines:
Disconnect the power supply before attempting to move the dispersion unit.
Disconnect and drain or vent any tubing carrying fluids or compressed air,
including sample tubing, before moving the dispersion unit.
Lift the dispersion unit by holding it under the base.
Warning!
The Titrator and Degasser dispersion units weigh 5.3kg and 2.75kg respec-
tively. Adopt proper lifting techniques to avoid back injury.
If moving it large distances, we recommend repacking the unit in its original
packaging.
