Safety and regulatory information
This instrument and its accompanying documentation comply with the CE specifications and the
safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use
(CEI/IEC 1010-1)CCSAUS and FCC-b.
This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which
case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
This instrument has been tested per applicable requirements of EMC Directive as required to
NOTE
carry the European Union CE Mark. As such, this equipment may be susceptible to
radiation/interference levels or frequencies, which are not within the tested limits.
General safety precautions
To ensure safe equipment operation, follow these safety practices:
•
Perform periodic leak checks on all supply lines and pneumatic plumbing.
•
Do not allow gas lines to become kinked or punctured.
•
Place lines away from foot traffic and extreme heat or cold.
•
Store organic solvents in fireproof, vented, and clearly labeled cabinets so they are easily
identified as either toxic, flammable, or both.
•
Do not accumulate waste solvents. Dispose of such materials through a regulated disposal
program and not through municipal sewage lines.
This instrument is designed for chromatographic analysis of appropriately prepared samples. It
WAR N IN G
must be operated using appropriate gases or solvents and within specified maximum ranges for
pressure, flows, and temperatures as described in this manual. If the equipment is used in a
manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired.
It is the responsibility of the customer to inform Agilent customer support representatives if the
WAR N IN G
instrument has been used for the analysis of hazardous samples, prior to any instrument service
being performed or when an instrument is being returned for repair.
•
Avoid exposure to potentially dangerous voltages. Disconnect the instrument from all power
sources before removing protective panels.
•
When it is necessary to use a nonoriginal power cord and plug, ensure the replacement cord
adheres to the color coding and polarity described in the manual and all local building safety
codes.
•
Replace faulty or frayed power cords immediately with the same type and rating.
•
Place this instrument in a location with sufficient ventilation to remove gases and vapors.
•
Ensure there is enough space around the instrument for it to cool off sufficiently.
