Page 8: General
Safety Practices and Hazards General Operation of an Agilent Cary 600 Series FTIR spectrometer and microscope involves the use of compressed gases, high voltage energy, and hazardous materials including liquid nitrogen, tungsten halogen source lamps that emit ultraviolet radiation and a helium- neon laser operating in the visible region at 632.8 nanometers. -
Page 9: Compressed Gas Cylinders
Safety Practices and Hazards Compressed gas cylinders Consult the Agilent Cary 600 Series FTIR Site Preparation Guide for gas pressure requirements. Compressed gas cylinders contain highly pressurized gas. If storage conditions are outside of the recommended supplier’s safety codes, the cylinders can explode or rapidly release gas into the environment. -
Page 10: Storage
Application of the wrong supply voltage can create a fire hazard and a potentially serious shock hazard, and could seriously damage the Cary 600 Series FTIR system, accessories and any attached ancillary equipment. The Cary 600 Series FTIR instruments have a universal power supply that adapts to the supply voltage. -
