Measuring procedure

Warning of hand injury!
Springs are used to keep the sample clamp in position. However, the clamp may
fold down unexpectedly. If your hand is caught underneath the clamp, this may
cause injuries.
Never place your hand under the sample clamp.

Warning of hazardous voltage!
The sample clamp provides the contact between the sample and the spark stand.
There is a risk of electric shock when handling the sample clamp.
Never tamper with the sample clamp.

Warning! Hot surface!
A sample can get hot if it is measured several times.
Touch the sample only after it has sufficiently cooled.

Warning! Optical radiation!
The plasma in the spark stand generates UV radiation. UV radiation may cause
damage to the eyes or skin.
For samples that do not completely cover the spark stand opening, use the

respective sample adapters in such a way that the opening is completely
closed.
Take appropriate protective measures (e.g. wear safety goggles) when the

spark stand opening is not fully covered.
Information
A flawed initial start-up, operation or sample preparation can lead to measurement
errors.
Therefore, ensure all necessary requirements for a correct measurement are

met.
