To prevent damages of the RI2012 all capillaries and cables have to be checked for
damages and leakages.
For the disposal of inflammable and/or toxic solvents a plan for waste management
has to be created. Such solvents may not get into the drain.
The RI2012 refractive index detector is built to operate at temperatures between
10 °C and 35 °C.
To reach a reliable operation of the detector it is recommended to use filtered
samples and solvents only.
The detector may be cleaned with appropriate cleaning agents only.
Make sure that no liquid gets inside the detector. Liquid inside the housing may
cause electrical short circuits which may result in the damage of the instrument.
To prevent electrical shocks make sure that the detector is disconnected from power
supply when the housing is opened to perform service work inside.
To disconnect the instrument from power supply simply unplug the power cable.
Electronic circuit boards and electronic components are sensitive to electrostatical
charges.
For some maintenance operation it is required to open the instrument’s housing.
Make sure that the instrument is disconnected from power supply before removing
the housing. It it is necessary to remove the housing during operation make sure not
to touch electrical parts inside the detector.
In case of the use of dangerous solvents pay attention to safety instructions
regarding this solvent.
