General notes
4.1.1
Care
WARNING
Untrained personnel may not open the instrument's housing.
The instrument requires appropriate care. Excess contamination of the
instrument may result in malfunctions and a reduction in the service life of
the sturdy mechanical and electronic components.
CAUTION
Even though design measures ensure that this will largely be prevented,
the detector should be switched off without delay in the event that
aggressive media have found their way into the interior of the detector.
This is the only way to prevent extreme damage to the instrument elec-
tronics. In such cases, Metrohm Service must be informed.
Spilled chemicals and solvents should be removed immediately. In particu-
lar, the plug connections (particularly the power plug) should be protected
from contamination.
Do not use scouring agents for cleaning the tray.
4.1.2
Maintenance by Metrohm Service
Maintenance of the instrument is best carried out as part of annual ser-
vice, which is performed by specialist personnel from Metrohm. A shorter
maintenance interval is recommended if you frequently work with caustic
and corrosive chemicals. Metrohm Service provides professional technical
consultation at all times for the maintenance and servicing of all Metrohm
instruments.
4.1.3
Operation
CAUTION
In order to avoid disruptive temperature influences, the entire system
must be protected from direct sunlight.
