Safety Guidelines for Operation

Pumps C, Pumps F ( VC-Pxx, VF-Pxx)
Operating Manual
When operating the device, pay attention to the following safety
guidelines:
Observe all warning messages and precautionary statements presented
in Safety Precautions (} page 21).
CAUTION—High Luminosity of LED
The high luminosity produced by the LED illuminating the inside of the
device can be harmful to the eyes.
• Do not look directly into the light produced by the LED.
• Do not use light-focusing instruments for viewing the light beam.
NOTICE
Pay attention also to the following guidelines:
• When operating the chromatography system, always set the lower
pressure limit for the pump. This prevents damage resulting from
leakage or from running the pump dry.
• If there is evidence of leakage in the device, turn off the pump flow
and remedy the situation immediately.
• If the pump flow is interrupted, act appropriately to protect the
components in the detector. For details, refer to the Operating
Manual for the detector.
• Always verify that the autosampler is turned on before the pump
flow is on and pressure builds up. If the autosampler is turned off,
for example, after a power failure, stop the pump flow and wait until
the pressure is down to zero before turning on the autosampler or
other modules again.
