General safety instructions
As well as this general safety information, please follow the safety instructions in
the remainder of the manual text.
The K11 is intended for use in a laboratory or pilot plant station. The general safety
rules for working in a laboratory environment apply to work carried out with the K11.
The K11 may only be used by trained personnel.
When carrying out measurements with substances which are poisonous,
hazardous to health, irritant and/or easily inflammable, the safety regulations and, if
available, information in the appropriate safety data sheets must be taken into
account when handling such substances.
Do not use the K11 in explosion-proof areas.
The controls of the K11 and a connected computer must not be operated when
wearing protective gloves, which have already been used for handling hazardous
materials.
Do not use the K11 if the unit is obviously damaged.
Disconnect the K11 from the power supply immediately if there is any damage to
the electronics, if liquids are spilled over the K11 or if there is an escape of
tempering medium.
The K11 has a motorised sample platform. Keep your hands away from the area of
movement while the platform is in motion. Make sure that no one is working within
the area of movement while the sample platform is moving. Do not place any
objects on the platform.
Measurements at temperatures above 40°C must always be carried out with the
measuring chamber closed. Samples must be exchanged using appropriate tools
and heat protection gloves. Conversions are to be carried out only when the system
is cooled down.
