5 Handling and maintenance
5.1
General
The 889 IC Sample Center requires appropriate care. Excess contamination
of the instrument may result in functional disruptions and a reduction in
the service life of the sturdy mechanics and electronics of the instrument.
Severe contamination can also have an influence on the measured results.
Regular cleaning of exposed parts can prevent this to a large extent.
Spilled chemicals and solvents must be removed immediately. In particular,
the mains plug should be protected from contamination.
Note
It is not necessary to disconnect the device from the electricity source
for care and maintenance work. This means that it is possible to con-
tinue to operate the device with the control software. Use Manual
operation in MagIC Net

device components.
