2.5 

Residual risks 

 

This instrument has been manufactured in accordance with the latest state-of-the-

art technology. Residual risks cannot be completely excluded, however. 

 

 

Notice! 

  The light inlet window of the air optics is located below the spark stand. 

 

Protective gloves must be worn to prevent cuts and contact with metal 

condensate, which can be toxic, depending on the sparked material. 

  The instrument is operated with argon. Argon is heavier than air. It can 

accumulate in a closed room, especially on the floor or lower-lying areas. 

 

Ensure that adequate ventilation is provided. If necessary, install oxygen 

sensors. 

 

 

Warning! Toxic substances! 

The cooling system contains a coolant.  

  The associated material safety data sheet is available at 

http://MSDS.spectro.com. 

 

 

Warning! High voltage! 

When the instrument is switched on, there is a risk of an electric shock when the 

electrode is touched or when the sample is removed during a measurement. 

  Never touch the sample while a measurement is in progress. 

  Avoid any contact with the electrode when the instrument is switched on. 

  Shut down the source (plasma generator) during all work on the spark stand. 

 

 

Warning! Hot surface! 

  Contacting the electrode increases the risk of burn injuries. During normal 

operation, the electrode will heat up to several hundred degrees. 

 

Never touch the electrode with your bare hands, even after shutting 

down the spectrometer. Always use pliers. 

  A sample can get hot if it is measured several times. 

 

Touch the sample only after it has sufficiently cooled.
