Model 700 Series -40C _________________________________________________________________________Calibration Section 2 - Calibrate 2.1 Calibrate Mode Once the freezer has stabilized, the control probe may need to be calibrated. Calibration frequency is dependent on use, ambient conditions and accuracy required. A good laboratory practice would require at least an annual calibration check. On new installations, all parameters should be checked after the stabilization period.

Model 700 Series -40C ________________________________________________________________________Appendix A Appendix A Handling Liquid Nitrogen Contact of liquid nitrogen or cold gas with the skin or eyes may cause serious freezing (frostbite) injury. Handle liquid nitrogen carefully. The extremely low temperature can freeze human flesh very rapidly. When spilled on a surface the liquid tends to cover it com- pletely and intimately, cooling a large area.

Model 700 Series -40C _______________________________________________________________________Appendix A Introduction The safe handling and use of liquid nitrogen in cryogenic refrigerators and dewar flasks is largely a matter of knowing the potential hazards and using common-sense procedures based on that knowledge. There are two important properties of liquid nitro- gen that present potential hazards: 1.
Model 700 Series -40C ________________________________________________________________________Appendix B Appendix B Handling Liquid Co High concentrations of CO gas can cause asphyxiation! OSHA Standards specify that employee exposure to carbon dioxide in any eight-hour shift of a 40-hour work week shall not exceed the eight-hour time weighted average of 5000 PPM (0.5% CO ).
Model 700 Series -40C ________________________________________________________________________Appendix C First Aid If a person seems to become dizzy or loses consciousness while working with liquid nitrogen or carbon dioxide, move to a well- ventilated area immediately. If breathing has stopped, apply artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician.
