Desiccant."
DANGER Avoid explosion hazard.
Before you open the desiccant compartment, turn off the instrument power, unplug the
power cord and remove all accessories and samples from the system. Entry of flammable
liquids or gases into the desiccant compartment could cause an explosion. If such entry
occurs, contact us immediately and do not apply power to the instrument until the
condition has been corrected.

Replacing the IR Source

The IR source becomes extremely hot during use. If you need to replace the IR source, avoid
burn and explosion hazards.
CAUTION Avoid burn hazard.
The source becomes extremely hot during normal use. Always allow the source to cool for
at least 10 minutes after the spectrometer is turned off before you work with the source.
DANGER Avoid explosion hazard.
Before you remove the source from the spectrometer, turn off the instrument power,
unplug the power cord, disconnect any purge lines, and remove all accessories and samples
from the system. Entry of flammable liquids or gases into the source compartment could
cause an explosion. If such entry occurs, contact us immediately and do not apply power
to the instrument until the condition has been corrected.
The Nicolet Summit spectrometer is a safe and rugged instrument, but you can be exposed to
hazards during use and maintenance. During normal operation, use caution when handling
potentially hazardous samples and solvents and avoid parts of the spectrometer that are hot or
emit heat. During maintenance, take precautions to avoid harm or damage that could occur
when purging the instrument, handling internal components, or changing the desiccant.
