Teledyne Analytical Instruments 33
CAUTION: READ THE SECTION CELL WARRANTY
CONDITIONS, BELOW, BEFORE REPLACING THE
CELL.
After replacing the Micro-fuel Cell, the analyzer must be
recalibrated. See Calibration in Chapter 4.
5.2.2 Ordering and Handling of Spare Sensors
To have a replacement cell available when it is needed, TAI
recommends that one spare cell be purchased when the current cell 's
warranty period is approximately two thirds over.
CAUTION: DO NOT STOCKPILE CELLS. THE WARRANTY
PERIOD STARTS ON THE DAY OF SHIPMENT. FOR
BEST RESULTS, DO NOT ORDER A NEW SPARE
CELL TOO SOON.
The spare cell should be carefully stored in an area that is not
subject to large variations in ambient temperature (75 °F nominal), and
in such a way as to eliminate the possibility of incurring damage.
CAUTION: DO NOT DISTURB THE INTEGRITY OF THE CELL
PACKAGE UNTIL THE CELL IS TO ACTUALLY BE
USED. IF THE CELL PACKAGE IS PUNCTURED AND
AIR IS PERMITTED TO ENTER, CELL-LIFE WILL BE
COMPROMISED.
WARNING: THE SENSOR USED IN THE MODEL OT-3 CONTAINS
AN ELECTROLYTE WHICH INCLUDES SUBSTANCES
THAT ARE EXTREMELY HARMFUL IF TOUCHED,
SWALLOWED, OR INHALED. AVOID CONTACT WITH
ANY FLUID OR POWDER IN OR AROUND THE UNIT.
WHAT MAY APPEAR TO BE PLAIN WATER COULD
CONTAIN ONE OF THESE TOXIC SUBSTANCES. IN
CASE OF EYE CONTACT, IMMEDIATELY FLUSH
EYES WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES.
CALL A PHYSICIAN. (SEE APPENDIX, Material Safety
Data Sheet—MSDS).
