Mains voltage

WARNING

An incorrect mains voltage can damage the instrument.

Only operate this instrument with a mains voltage specified for it (see
rear panel of the instrument).

Protection against electrostatic charges

Electronic components are sensitive to electrostatic charges and can be
destroyed by discharges.

Do not fail to pull the mains cable out of the mains connection socket
before you set up or disconnect electrical plug connections at the rear

1.3.3

Tubing and capillary connections

CAUTION

Leaks in tubing and capillary 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.

Check the connections regularly for leakage. If the instrument is used
mainly in unattended operation, then weekly inspections are manda-
tory.

1.3.4

Flammable solvents and chemicals

WARNING

All relevant safety measures are to be observed when working with
flammable solvents and chemicals.

Set up the instrument in a well-ventilated location (e.g. fume cup-
board).

Keep all sources of flame far from the workplace.

Clean up spilled liquids and solids immediately.

Follow the safety instructions of the chemical manufacturer.
