1.3.4 Electrical Safety
Electrical safety considerations consist of the following chapters:
General Safety
: Before installing or operating the ultraflex
III mass
spectrometer, read the following information concerning hazards and potential
hazards. Ensure that anyone involved with installation and operation of the
instrument is knowledgeable in both general safety practices for the laboratory
and safety practices for the ultraflex III mass spectrometer. Seek advice from
your safety engineer, industrial hygienist, environmental engineer, or safety
manager before installing and using the instrument.

•
Position the ultraflex III mass spectrometer in a clean area that is free of dust,
smoke, vibration, and corrosive fumes, out of direct sunlight, and away from
heating units, cooling units, and ducts.
Verify that there is an adequate and stable power source for all system
components.
Verify that the power cord is the correct one for your laboratory and that it
meets the national safety agency guidelines for the particular country of use.
Warning:
DO NOT attempt to make adjustments, replacements or repairs to this
instrument. Only a Bruker Daltonics Service Representative or similarly
trained and authorized person should be permitted to service the
instrument.
Warning:
When it is likely that the electrical protection of the ultraflex III mass
spectrometer has been impaired:
1. Power off the ultraflex III mass spectrometer.
2. Disconnect the line cord from the electrical outlet.
3. Secure the instrument against any unauthorized operation.
Warning:
The ultraflex III mass spectrometer and MALDI-TOF analyses use very
high voltages. Under normal operation, the instrument requires NO user
access to the inner components of the instrument. NEVER OPERATE
the ultraflex III mass spectrometer with the protective cover removed as
this exposes the user to risk of severe electrical shock and harmful,
invisible, ultraviolet laser radiation.
Caution:
Use only fuses with the required current and voltage ratings and of the
specified type for replacement.
