Repairing the Micro Vacuum Degasser
The following procedures require opening the main cover of the micro
vacuum degasser. To prevent personal injury, the power cable must be
removed from the micro vacuum degasser before opening the cover. Do
not connect the power cable to the micro vacuum degasser while the
covers are removed.
When opening capillary or tube fittings solvents may leak out. Please
observe appropriate safety procedures (for example, goggles, safety
gloves and protective clothing) as described in the material handling
and safety data sheet by the solvent vendor, especially when toxic or
hazardous solvents are used.
Electronic boards and components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge
(ESD). In order to prevent damage always use an ESD protection (for
example, the ESD wrist strap from the start up kit) when handling electronic
boards and components.
The plates of the sheet metal of the degasser are very thin. Although they have
been deburred, they are still quite sharp, and it is possible that you may cut
your hands or fingers if you slide them along the edges of the sheet metal of
the enclosure.
Therefore never slide your fingers along the edges of the enclosure.
The procedures in this section describe how to exchange internal parts. You
must remove the micro vacuum degasser from the stack in order to open the
main cover.
