Ametek Spectro MIDEX Original Operating Instructions page 9

Warning of ionizing radiation!
This instrument operates with ionizing radiation (X-rays). The safety devices
ensure that the instrument can be operated only in a safe, closed and shielded
condition.

Never tamper with the safety devices.

If you feel that the safety devices do not work properly, shut down the
instrument immediately. Please contact your Service Center.
Warning! Risk of injury due to laser radiation!
The instrument uses a laser pointer of protection class I. Your eyes will suffer
damage if you look at this laser pointer for an extended period of time.

Therefore never look directly at the laser pointer.
Information
The safety circuits in the instrument are designed so that either the sample
chamber lid or the shutter (=> protective shield upstream of X-ray tube which is
being opened for taking the measurement) must be closed. Otherwise, the X-ray
tube will be deactivated.
The sample chamber lid is locked while the shutter is open. This prevents
accidental opening of the sample chamber lid.
The sample chamber lid can only be opened again after the shutter is closed (at
the end of the measurement).
For your safety, the safety circuits are checked automatically.
