TOPwave
Safety instructions
11
The unit employs high voltage and generates microwave radiation!
WARNING
The TOPwave must always be carefully connected to a grounded conductor. Provided
the wall outlet used is equipped with a ground connection, the supplied power cord will
ensure proper connection. If it is necessary to use an extension cord to connect the sys-
tem to the power supply, only a three-wire cord with a ground connection may be
employed.
The unit should not be set up near any devices which are sensitive to electromagnetic
radiation. If necessary, a warning sign or label indicating “Caution, Microwave Emissions”
should be applied or attached to the unit. Should there be any suspicion or indication of
increased levels of microwave radiation, please immediately inform the Service Depart-
ment at Analytik Jena AG.
The housing cover may only be removed by authorized trained personnel!
The unit must be disconnected from the mains power supply.
Renew vessels!
WARNING
Renew the vessels after around 10,000 digestions to maintain reliable operating condi-
tions and to prevent negative influences on your analysis results (e.g. memory effects
etc.). Analytik Jena includes its digestion vessels in the warranty coverage. Nevertheless
all of the vessels are subject to a certain aging process, which also depends on the type
and frequency of the application. Typically the service life is 10,000 digestion processes
or at least 3 years.

Safety Equipment / Emergency
The system is equipped with a solid, PFA-coated, stainless-steel housing with a
swiveling safety lid for maximum user safety. The electronic lid-locking mechanism can
only be opened by means of the software control. In addition, 3 interlock switches are
installed which shut the microwave off if the lid is opened by force during microwave
operation.
WARNING
The unit emits microwave radiation!
Never operate the microwave oven if the swiveling lid or the related lock mechanism has
been damaged. Contact your local, authorized dealer or Analytik Jena AG to obtain the
required service.
