Safety Notations

This manual uses three safety alert words at points in the documentation where the user should be aware of
potential hazards. The safety alerts are shown in color-coded boxes. The three words–NOTE, CAUTION, and
WARNING–indicate differing levels of observation or action as described below:
NOTE
A NOTE is intended to provide emphasis of procedures that may be misinterpreted or overlooked, or to
otherwise clarify confusing situations.
CAUTION
A CAUTION is intended to provide essential information and to emphasize procedures which, if not strictly
followed, may result in improper instrument operation.
WARNING
A WARNING is intended to emphasize dangerous or hazardous conditions which may result in personal
injury to the user and damage or destruction of the instrument.

Notice

The following precautions should be observed to avoid possible exposure to excessive microwave energy if
using the SMART 6 Moisture/Solids Analyzer:
• Do not tamper with the safety interlocks. The SMART 6 is equipped with three safety interlocks which
prevent the instrument from producing microwave power if the cover is open.
• Do not place any object between the SMART 6 cavity and the cover, or allow soil or cleaner residue to
accumulate on sealing surfaces.
• Do not operate the instrument if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the instrument cover close
properly and that there is no damage to the cover (bent), hinges and latch (broken or loosened), or sealing
surfaces of the SMART 6.
• The instrument should only be adjusted or repaired by qualified service personnel.
The following precautions should be observed to avoid instrument-induced electromagnetic interference:
• The possibility of instrument-induced electromagnetic interference (EMI) is minimal if the precautions
outlined above are followed.
• The ORACLE should not be placed close to any electrical device susceptible to EMI.
• If the SMART 6 is suspected of inducing EMI, please contact the CEM Service Department to perform a
Microwave Leakage Test.
This instrument utilizes high voltages and microwave radiation.
• Instrument service and repair should be performed only by those trained in repair and maintenance of high
