Approved Use

The Maxum edition II gas chromatograph is primarily used in all branches of the fine chemicals,
refining, and hydrocarbon processing industries. It performs chemical composition analysis of
gases and liquids that are present in all phases of production. The application flexibility of the
Maxum II allows it to analyze a wide variety of samples including feedstock, partially processed
streams, final products, and process byproducts including wastes and environmental hazards.
The Maxum II product is intended to be used only in conjunction with other devices and
components which have been recommended and approved by Siemens. Appropriate safety
standards were used in the development, manufacture, testing, and documentation of the
Maxum II. Under normal operation, this product is safe for use providing that all safety and
handling guidelines are observed with respect to configuration, assembly, approved use, and
maintenance.
This device has been designed with safe isolation between high and low voltage circuits. Low
voltages which are connected must also be generated using safe isolation. If any part of the
Maxum II is opened, certain parts of the device are accessible which may carry dangerous
voltages. Therefore, only suitably qualified personnel may work on this device as indicated in
the next section which is titled "Qualified Personnel".
