1.4 Safety notes
While electrical safety in the handling of the 819 IC Detector and 820 IC
Separation Center is assured in the context of the specifications EN/IEC
61010-1 / UL 3101-1 (protection class I), the following points should be
noted:
• Mains connection
Setting of the mains voltage, checking the mains fuse and the
mains connection must be effected in accordance with the instruc-
tions in Section 2.4.
• Opening the 819 IC Detector
Inside the instrument there are no parts which must be set or adjusted
by the user.
If the 819 IC Detector is connected to the mains then the instrument
must not be opened, nor should any components be removed from it
as otherwise you run the risk of coming into contact with current-
carrying components. For this reason you should always separate the
instrument from sources of electricity before opening it and also en-
sure that the mains plug is removed from mains connector 3 !
• Opening the 820 IC Separation Center
The instrument contains no components that can be set or adjusted by
the user.
Disconnect all connecting cables on the rear of the 820 IC
Separation Center before you remove the middle housing panel
with connectors.
• 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 819 IC Detector or 820 IC Separation Center, you should
earth yourself and any tools you are using by touching an earthed ob-
ject (e.g. housing of the instrument or a radiator) to eliminate any
static charges which exist.
1.4.1 General precautionary rules
• Handling of solvents
Check all lines of the IC system periodically for possible leaks. Follow
the relevant instructions regarding the handling of flammable and/or
toxic solvents and their disposal.
