1.4 Safety notes
1.4.1 Electrical safety
While electrical safety in the handling of the 732 IC Detector and 733
Separation Center 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
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 732 IC Detector
If the 732 IC Detector is connected to the power supply, the instru-
ment must not be opened nor must parts be removed from it, other-
wise 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 18 18 !
• Opening the 733 IC Separation Center
Disconnect connecting cable to the 732 IC Detector from con-
nector 14 14 before you remove the middle housing panel with con-
nectors.
• 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 732 IC Detector or 733 IC Separation Center, 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 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.
