5.1 Safety Guidelines for Installation
Pay attention to the following safety guidelines:
Observe all warning messages and precautionary statements presented
in section 2.3 Safety Precautions (see page 20 ).
CAUTION—Heavy Load, Bulky Device
The detector is too heavy or bulky for one person alone to handle safely.
To avoid personal injury or damage to the detector, observe the
following guidelines:
• Physical handling of the detector, including lifting or moving,
requires a team effort of two persons.
• A team effort is in particular required when lifting the detector into
the system stack or when removing it.
•
Use the carrying handles that were shipped with the detector to
move or transport the detector. Never move or lift the detector by
the front doors. This will damage the doors or the detector.
NOTICE—Sensitive LightPipe Flow Cells
LightPipe flow cells are highly sensitive. Improper use or handling can
lead to increased noise, increased drift, increased refractive index
sensitivity, clogging, leaks on the flow cell, or even destruction of the
flow cell.
• Handle LightPipe flow cells always with care and use them only and
strictly within their specifications of up to 6 MPa and 50 °C.
•
Observe all safety notes and guidelines for the LightPipe flow cells.
