Page 11: Intended Use
The instrument is operated with argon. Argon is heavier than air. It can accumulate in a closed room, especially on the floor or lower-lying areas. Ensure to provide adequate ventilation. If necessary, install oxygen sensors. SPECTROLAB — 30.07.2015 — 11... - Page 12 Never touch the electrode with your bare hands, even after shutting down the spectrometer. Always use pliers. A sample can get hot if it is measured several times. Touch the sample only after is has sufficiently cooled. — 12 SPECTROLAB — 30.07.2015...
