Safety instructions – maintenance and repair
Protection of the user against UVC radiation is ensured by the protective glass
¡
before the UV reactor. The protective glass must not be removed during opera-
tion.
¡
Manipulation of the protective glass is not permitted!
¡
Avoid looking through the protective glass for too long to protect your eyes.
Do not use oxygen or synthetic air as a carrier gas. The UVC radiation of the UV
¡
reactor will decompose oxygen molecules to oxygen radicals. Reaction with other
oxygen molecules would generate ozone. Ozone, the toxic gas, causes damage to
mucous membranes.
The operator is responsible for the selection of substances used in the process as well
as for their safe handling. This is particularly important for radioactive, infectious,
poisonous, corrosive, combustible, explosive and otherwise dangerous substances.
When handling hazardous substances, the locally applicable safety instructions and
instructions in the safety data sheets from the manufacturers of the auxiliary and op-
erating materials must be complied with.
Exercise particular caution when handling concentrated acids and the toxic
¡
strong oxidant sodium persulfate. Always observe the regulations and informa-
tion in the safety data sheets for the handling of orthophosphoric acid (H
sulfuric acid (H
SO
) and sodium persulfate (Na

Observe the following:
The operator is responsible for carrying out suitable decontamination should the
¡
device become contaminated externally or internally with dangerous substances.
¡
Splashes, drops or larger liquid spillages should be removed using an absorbent
material such as cotton wool, laboratory wipes or cellulose.
For biological contamination, wipe the affected area with a suitable disinfectant,
¡
such as an Incidin Plus solution. Then wipe the cleaned areas so that they are
dry.
¡
The only suitable cleaning method for the housing is wipe disinfection. If the dis-
infectant has a spray nozzle, apply disinfectant to a suitable cloth before using it
on the device.
Particular care must be taken if infectious materials are analyzed with the device,
as the device cannot be decontaminated as a single unit.
Before using a cleaning or decontamination procedure other than that pre-
¡
scribed by the manufacturer, the user is required to check with the manufacturer
that the intended procedure will not damage the device. Safety labels attached
to the device must not have methanol applied.
The device is generally maintained by the customer service department of Analytik
Jena or specialist personnel trained and authorized by them.
Unauthorized maintenance can damage the device. For this reason, only the activi-
ties described in the user manual in the "Maintenance and care" chapter may be per-
formed by the operator.
Only clean the exterior of the device with a slightly moistened, non-dripping
¡
cloth. Use only water and, if required, customary surfactants.
¡
All maintenance and repair work on the device must only be carried out when
the device is switched off (unless specified otherwise).
