Mass spectrometer flammable solvents warning
This warning applies to instruments operated with flammable solvents.
Warning:
involved, a continuous flow of nitrogen into the ion source is required to
prevent possible ignition in that enclosed space.
Ensure that the nitrogen supply pressure never falls below 690 kPa
(6.9 bar, 100 psi) during an analysis in which flammable solvents are
used. Also ensure a gas-fail connection is connected to the LC system so
that the LC solvent flow stops if the nitrogen supply fails.
Mass spectrometer shock hazard
This warning applies to all Waters mass spectrometers.
Warning:
protective panels. The components they cover are not user-serviceable.
This warning applies to certain instruments when they are in Operate mode.
Warning:
the mass spectrometer when the instrument is in Operate mode. To
avoid non-lethal electric shock, make sure the instrument is in Standby
mode before touching areas marked with this high voltage warning
symbol.
