Safety Practices and Hazards
The safety practices described below are provided to help you operate the
instrument safely. Read each safety topic thoroughly before attempting to operate
the instrument and always operate the spectrometer in accordance with these
safety practices. Only trained operators should use this instrument.
Verifying safe state
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of
operation, maintenance and service of this instrument.
To ensure continued safety of the instrument after maintenance or service
procedures verify the instrument is returned to a safe state for the user. This
includes running performance checks to verify the instruments safety systems are
functioning correctly. Check the general condition of the instrument during
operation for wear or signs of corrosion that are likely to inhibit function or safety.
Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in
this manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of
the instrument. Agilent Technologies assumes no liability for the customer's
failure to comply with these requirements.
Electrical hazards
The instrument and accessories contain electrical circuits, devices, and
components operating at dangerous voltages. Contact with these circuits, devices
and components can cause death, serious injury, or painful electric shock.
Panels and covers that are retained by fasteners which require the use of a tool for
removal must only be opened by Agilent field service engineers. Consult the
manuals or product labels supplied with your PC, monitor, printer/plotter, water-
cooling system, and vacuum pump (where required) to determine which parts are
operator-accessible.
Application of the wrong supply voltage, connection of the instrument to an
incorrectly wired supply outlet, or lack of proper electrical grounding can create a
fire hazard or a potentially serious shock hazard. This could seriously damage the
instrument and any attached ancillary equipment.
