General Safety Considerations

Components and Functions
The following safety items must be observed to avoid personal injury and
to prevent damage to the RGD analyzer. All personnel involved in instal-
lation, operation or service of the analyzer should be thoroughly familiar
with these items. These considerations are in addition to all site specific
safety procedures.
Electrical Hazard

WARNING

UV Light

CAUTION

Mercury Vapor

!
CAUTION
Be sure that the top cover is securely in place before operating the
analyzer. Since some service procedures require the cover to be
removed while the power is on, be aware that electric shock can occur.
Therefore, only trained or otherwise qualified personnel should service
the analyzer. The analyzer is supplied with a 3-conductor power cord
providing a protective earth ground connection when plugged into a
properly wired receptacle. Proper receptacle grounding must be veri-
fied.
In RGD-equipped instruments, do not look directly at the ultravio-
let lamp. Since UV light causes eye damage, use appropriate safety
glasses whenever the UV lamp is exposed.
In RGD-equipped instruments, be sure the Mercury vapor scrubber
is connected before operating the analyzer and plan on replacing the
scrubber after 6 months of continuous operation or with each HgO
bed replacement.
