Get Started with Your Nicolet Summit OA Spectrometer

DANGER

Avoid explosion hazard. 

Before you remove the source from the spectrometer, turn off the instrument 
power, unplug the power cord, disconnect any purge lines, and remove  
samples from the system. Entry of flammable liquids or gases into the source 
compartment could cause an explosion. If such entry occurs, contact us 
immediately and do not apply power to the instrument until the condition has 
been corrected.

Summary

The Nicolet Summit OA spectrometer is a safe and rugged instrument, but you can be exposed to 
hazards during use and maintenance. During normal operation, use caution when handling 
potentially hazardous samples and solvents and avoid parts of the spectrometer that are hot or emit 
heat. During maintenance, take precautions to avoid harm or damage that could occur when purging 
the instrument, handling internal components, or changing the desiccant.
