6.2 Safety Guidelines for Operation
When operating the detector, pay attention to the following safety
guidelines:
Observe all warning messages and precautionary statements presented
in section 2.3 Safety Precautions (see page 23 ).
CAUTION—Explosion Hazard or Damage to the Detector
When using tetrahydrofuran (THF), the use of air as supplied gas may
pose an explosion hazard. This can pose a safety and health risk and
damage the detector. Always use nitrogen with tetrahydrofuran or other
highly combustible solvents.
ATTENTION—Risque d’explosion ou d’endommagement du détecteur
Lors de l’utilisation de tétrahydrofurane (THF), il y a un risque d’explosion
si le gaz d’alimentation est l’air. Cela peut représenter un risque pour la
sécurité et la santé et endommager le détecteur. Utilisez toujours de
l’azote avec le tétrahydrofurane ou d’autres solvants hautement
inflammables.
NOTICE Pay attention also to the following guidelines:

When operating the chromatography system, always set the upper
pressure limit for the pump. This prevents damage resulting from
leakage or from running the pump dry.

If there is evidence of leakage in the detector, turn off the pump
flow and remedy the situation immediately.
