Troubleshooting Methods

7  - 20

10-12 minutes for the monochromator to be completely filled. Continue this nitrogen 
purge while the instrument is in use. Purging is particularly important when an instru-
ment is removed from a cold room to a high humidity room at ambient temperature.

Compressed gas cylinders must be safely 
attached to the wall or bench by means of 
approved brackets or chains. The cylinder 
should always be capped when not in use. 
Failure to do so could cause the cylinders to 
fall over and explode, which could result in 
physical harm.
