1.4 Safety notes
1.4.1 Electrical safety
While electrical safety in the handling of the 818 IC Pump is assured in
the context of the specifications IEC 1010-1 (protection class 1, degree
of protection IP40), the following points should be noted:
• Mains connection
Set the mains voltage and check the mains fuse and mains
connection in accordance with the instructions in section 2.6.
• Opening the instrument
Inside the instrument there are no parts which must be set or adjusted
by the user.
If the 818 IC Pump is connected to the power supply, the instrument
must not be opened nor must parts be removed from it, otherwise
there is a danger of coming into contact with components which are
live. Hence, always disconnect the instrument from all voltage sources
before you open it and ensure that the mains cable is
disconnected from mains connection 10 !
• Protection against static charges
Electronic components are sensitive to static charging and can be
destroyed by discharges. Before you touch any of the components
inside the 818 IC Pump, you should earth yourself and any tools you
are using by touching an earthed object (e.g. housing of the
instrument or a radiator) to eliminate any static charges which exist.
1.4.2 General safety rules
• Handling of solvents
Check the pump tubing and all input and output leads periodically for
possible leaks. Follow the relevant instructions regarding the handling
of flammable and/or toxic solvents and their disposal.
