Safety
Read the safety precautions before beginning any procedures in this
chapter.
WARNING If the equipment is operated in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired.
CAUTION The safety instructions specific to the plant and process are to be
consulted prior to any maintenance work.
Equipment Damage Some internal components can be damaged by small
amounts of static electricity. A properly grounded antistatic wrist strap
must be worn while handling any internal component.
Note If a data acquisition system (DAS) is being used with the FTIR,
turning the maintenance key on the front of the rack will indicate that
maintenance is being performed on the system.
During normal operation, the system may become dirty over time,
depending on the environment in which it is installed. The system may be
System
cleaned, keeping in mind the following warning and important notes.
WARNING Avoid shock hazard. Always turn off the circuit breaker on the
breaker panel on the front of the rack for any component to be cleaned. Do
not allow cleaning solutions or liquids to run into the analyzer, its power
supply, or any powered components.
Important Remember to turn off the circuit breaker for a component when
cleaning it. Use a damp (not wet), soft cloth and a mild soap to clean the
outside of any components. Do not use harsh detergents, solvents,
chemicals, or abrasives; these can damage the finish.
Important Do not attempt to clean or even touch the mirror surfaces inside
the analyzer. These front-surfaced mirrors are easily scratched. Dust will
not harm the mid-infrared signal, but fingerprints and scratches can
degrade spectral performance or permanently damage the mirrors.
