safety symbols
Never connect a flammable gas (such as hydrogen) as the gas supply to the Versa. Venting of this
gas in the standby creates an explosion hazard.
The interior of the instrument is an electrical shock hazard. Turn off the instrument and unplug the
power cord before removing the protective covers.
It is recommended that safety glasses be worn at all times when operating the Versa. Heated
sample vials are under pressure during normal operations. An inadvertent over-pressurization
could cause a vial to burst.
This instrument contains heating elements. Touching any heated zone during the operation
could cause a burn. The system’s heaters will activate when their setpoints are above ambient
temperatures. Keep all instrument panels fastened when operating the Versa.
Use extreme care when handling hot vials, particularly when unloading vials from the Versa.
Improper handling of hot vials may cause a burn.
Be alert for environmental, shock, or other hazards in the event that a vial would break. Before
cleaning up, unplug the instrument and determine the nature of the sample that has spilled. Use
extreme caution and apply the appropriate clean-up measures.
Do not over pressurize or over heat samples during operation. Extreme static pressure
build-up in a vial due to excess pressure levels or heat settings could cause a vial to burst.
When accessing the valve oven area, be certain that the valve is cool before opening the cover.
Pinch Point Hazard! Keep hands and other appendages away from the carousel and elevator
during operation.
