IRAffinity-1
Preventation of Hypoxia (Oxygen Shortage)
Preventive measure 5:
If it is not possible to use a conductive waste liquid container, take the following precautions:
• Ensure that the end of the inflow tube is always submerged inside the container. Also, place
some type of grounded metal object (wire connected to the unit, etc.) in the liquid.
The above precautions will be ineffective for liquid of low conductivity (less than 10
−
10
S/m). For such liquid:
• Use as small a container as possible, to minimize damage in the event of fire.
• Ambient humidity exceeding 65% will prevent static. Keep the room at a proper level of humidity.
WARNING
Maximum 10 L/min. of the purge gas is used to purge the FTIR.
Take measures to prevent hypoxia in accordance with the local laws/regulations of the region in
which the instrument is installed:
• Ventilate the room by opening windows or using ventilation fans during purging or after purging.
• Avoid purging in a sealed room.
• For safety reasons, Shimadzu recommends the use of the oxygen indicator along with the product
introduced in this manual. The following is the recommended portable oxygen indicator.
