Safety Precautions for the TGA 8000 . 11
•
To prolong the life of the standard furnace, it is recommended that the automatic
furnace cleaning procedure be performed routinely such as every 5 to 10 runs.
Pyrolysis products should be burned off after every analysis that involves pyrolysis of
a sample in the absence of air or oxygen.
•
Always close the furnace door before attempting to run an analysis. When the TGA
8000 standard furnace is heating, keep the protective plastic shield in the down
position. This is for
non-autosampler
instruments. This will protect you from
accidentally touching the furnace when it is hot.
•
Do not attempt to move the TGA 8000 while it is on. Wait until the power is off and
the furnace cooling fan has stopped spinning before moving the instrument.
•
Do not remove cables from the analyzer while it is on.
•
Do not touch the opening on the furnace lift mechanism or insert objects into the opening.
•
Do not use hydrogen gas with the TGA 8000 since it is highly explosive.
•
When cleaning the instrument, consult PerkinElmer if there is any doubt about the
compatibility of decontamination or cleaning agents with parts of the equipment or
with material contained in it.
