Warnings
WARNING: This equipment must not be mounted on a flammable surface if low
flashpoint material is being analyzed.
WARNING: An extraction system may be required if the heating of materials
could lead to liberation of hazardous gasses.
WARNING: It is recommended that this instrument be serviced by trained and
skilled TA Instruments personnel at least once a year.
WARNING: The material used on the top surface of the Peltier Plate is hard,
chrome-plated copper and the material used for the 'skirt' of the Peltier is stain-
less steel. Therefore, use an appropriate cleaning material when cleaning the
Peltier Plate.
WARNING: The internal components of the ETC are all constructed from chemi-
cally resistant materials, and can therefore be cleaned with standard laboratory
solvents. The only exception is the cladding for the thermocouples, which
should not be immersed in a solvent for long periods. Use a small amount of
solvent on a soft cloth and wipe the soiled area gently. This procedure should
never be conducted at any temperature other than ambient.
WARNING: During the installation or reinstallation of the instrument, ensure that
the external connecting cables (i.e., data, RS232 etc.) are placed separate from
the mains power cables. Also, ensure that the external connecting cables and
the mains power cables are placed away from any hot external parts of the
instrument. Note: Ensure that the mains power cable is selected such that it is
suitable for the instrument that is being installed or reinstalled, paying particular
attention to the current rating of both the cable and the instrument.
WARNING: During operation, extreme hot or cold surfaces may be exposed.
Take adequate precautions. Wear safety gloves before removing hot or cold
geometries.
