5 Operation and maintenance
5.1 General notes
5.1.1 Care
Warning
The instrument housing must not be opened by untrained personnel.
The instrument requires appropriate care. Excess contamination of the
instrument may result in functional disruptions and a reduction in the life-
time of the sturdy mechanics and electronics.
Caution
Even though design measures ensure that this will largely be prevented,
the detector should be switched off without delay in the event that
aggressive media have found their way into the interior of the detector.
It is only thus that massive damage to the instrument electronics can be
prevented. In such cases, Metrohm Service must be informed.
Spillages of chemicals and solvents should be cleaned up immediately. In
particular, the plug connections on the rear panel of the instrument (espe-
cially the mains plug) should be protected from contamination.
Do not use scouring agents for cleaning the tray.
5.1.2 Maintenance by Metrohm Service
Maintenance of the instrument is best carried out as part of an annual
service, which is performed by specialist personnel from Metrohm. If
working frequently with caustic and corrosive chemicals, a shorter mainte-
nance interval is recommended. Metrohm Service offers every form of
technical advice for maintenance and service of all Metrohm instruments.
5.1.3 Operation
Caution
In order to avoid disturbing temperature influences, the entire system
must be protected against direct sunlight.
