Storage
Cylinders containing gas under pressure should be firmly secured to
a rigid structure, and the storage area must be adequately ventilated.
Never locate gas cylinders near a source of ignition, or in a position
that is subject to direct heat. Gas storage cylinders often incorporate
a pressure release device which will discharge the gas at a
predetermined temperature, usually around 52 °C (125 °F).
If gases are to be plumbed from a remote storage area to the
instrument site, ensure that the local outlets are fitted with stop
valves, pressure gauges and suitable regulators which are easily
accessible to the instrument operator. The gas outlets must be
provided within 1.5 meters (5 feet) of the instrument. Bottled
nitrogen should not be used for purged systems as the rate of
consumption (about one bottle per day) makes it impractical.
Electrical hazards
The Agilent Cary 600 Series FTIR spectrometers, microscopes and
some accessories contain electrical circuits, devices, and components
operating at dangerous voltages. Contact with these circuits, devices
and components can cause death, serious injury, or painful electrical
shock.
Good grounding/earthing is essential to avoid a potentially serious
electric shock hazard. Ensure that there is an integral ground
connection between the metal base of the instrument and accessories
and the 3 pin earth-grounded receptacle. Consult the manuals or
product labels supplied with your computer, monitor and printer for
the relevant grounding requirements.
NOTE
The above model is Equipment Class I.
Application of the wrong supply voltage can create a fire hazard and
a potentially serious shock hazard, and could seriously damage the
Cary 600 Series FTIR system, accessories and any attached ancillary
equipment. The Cary 600 Series FTIR instruments have a universal
power supply that adapts to the supply voltage. However, care must
be taken to ensure that the correct voltage is used.
