Warranty

This equipment is sold subject to the mutual agreement that it is warranted by us

free from defects of material and of construction, and that our liability shall be limited to
replacing or repairing at our factory (without charge, except for transportation), or at
customer plant at our option, any material or construction in which defects become
apparent within one year from the date of shipment, except in cases where quotations or
acknowledgments provide for a shorter period. Components manufactured by others bear
the warranty of their manufacturer. This warranty does not cover defects caused by wear,
accident, misuse, neglect or repairs other than those performed by Teledyne or an
authorized service center. We assume no liability for direct or indirect damages of any
kind and the purchaser by the acceptance of the equipment will assume all liability for
any damage which may result from its use or misuse.

We reserve the right to employ any suitable material in the manufacture of our

apparatus, and to make any alterations in the dimensions, shape or weight of any parts, in
so far as such alterations do not adversely affect our warranty.

Important Notice

This instrument provides measurement readings to its user, and serves as a tool by

which valuable data can be gathered. The information provided by the instrument may
assist the user in eliminating potential hazards caused by his process; however, it is
essential that all personnel involved in the use of the instrument or its interface, with the
process being measured, be properly trained in the process itself, as well as all instrumen-
tation related to it.

The safety of personnel is ultimately the responsibility of those who control

process conditions. While this instrument may be able to provide early warning of
imminent danger, it has no control over process conditions, and it can be misused. In
particular, any alarm or control systems installed must be tested and understood, both as
to how they operate and as to how they can be defeated. Any safeguards required such as
locks, labels, or redundancy, must be provided by the user or specifically requested of
Teledyne at the time the order is placed.

Therefore, the purchaser must be aware of the hazardous process conditions. The

purchaser is responsible for the training of personnel, for providing hazard warning
methods and instrumentation per the appropriate standards, and for ensuring that hazard
warning devices and instrumentation are maintained and operated properly.

Teledyne Analytical Instruments (TAI, the manufacturer of this instrument,

cannot accept responsibility for conditions beyond its knowledge and control. No
statement expressed or implied by this document or any information disseminated by the
manufacturer or its agents, is to be construed as a warranty of adequate safety control

under the user’s process conditions.
