1.4 Safety notes
1.4.1 Electrical safety
While electrical safety in the handling of the 709 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 709 IC Pump
To avoid all danger of coming into contact with live components do
not open the instrument or remove any parts when the 709 IC Pump is
connected to the power supply. Always disconnect the instrument
from all voltage sources before you open it and ensure that the mains
cable is disconnected from mains connection plug 31 !
• 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 709 IC Pump, you should earth yourself and any tools you
are using by touching an earthed object (e.g. housing of the instru-
ment 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
