Fire safety and burn hazards
Components of the FTIR Heated Valve Drawer become quite hot during normal operation, including
the heated filter, sample gas line, gas fittings, and valves.
CAUTION
Avoid burn hazard. The optional heated filter becomes very hot during
normal operation. Turn off power to the heaters and allow the filter to
come to room temperature before handing the heated filter assembly.
To avoid a burn injury, turn off the FTIR Heated Valve Drawer and allow to cool to room temperature
before replacing any components.
Tip hazard
The rack mounted system can pose a tip hazard unless appropriate anti-tip extensions, feet, or
anchors are in place. Use anti-tip devices that were designed by your rack manufacturer or by a
qualified structural engineer.
Rack enclosure hazards
If your gas system is installed in an enclosed rack, ensure that the rack is properly ventilated to
prevent gases from accumulating inside the rack and internal rack temperatures from exceeding the
operating temperatures of the enclosed components.
DANGER
Avoid fire and explosion hazard. The infrared source inside the adja-
cent FTIR instrument is an ignition source. If you are sampling flam-
mable gases, vent the gases away from the instrument. Provide a fume
hood or other active venting system that is free of spark and other igni-
tion sources and that prevents flammable vapors from collecting in the
atmosphere surrounding these instruments.
