Protection against electrostatic charges
Warning
Electronic components are sensitive to electrostatic charges and can be
destroyed by discharges.
Always pull the mains cable out of the mains connection socket before
connecting or disconnecting electrical appliances on the rear panel of the
instrument.
1.5.4 Tubing connections
Caution
Leaks in tubing connections are a safety risk. Tighten all connections well
by hand. Avoid applying excessive force to tubing connections. Damaged
tubing ends lead to leakage. Appropriate tools can be used to loosen
connections.
Regularly check the leak-tightness of the tubings. If the instrument is used
mainly in unattended operation, then weekly inspections are mandatory.

Caution
Periodically check all system connections for leaks. Observe the relevant
regulations in respect to working with flammable and/or toxic fluids and
their disposal.
1.5.6 Working with flammable liquids and chemicals
Warning
All relevant safety measures are to be observed when working with flam-
mable solvents and chemicals.
￭ Set up the instrument in a well-ventilated location (e.g. laboratory
flue)..
￭ Keep all sources of flame far from the workplace.
￭ Clean up spilled fluids and solids immediately.
￭ Follow the safety instructions of the chemical manufacturer.
