Safety Guidelines for Operation

Diode Array Detectors (VH-D10)
Operating Manual
When operating the device, pay attention to the following safety
guidelines:
Observe all warning messages and precautionary statements presented
in Safety Precautions (} page 21).
CAUTION—Hot Surfaces
Surfaces inside the device may become hot during operation. Touching
hot parts might cause burns.
Allow hot surfaces to cool down before you touch them.
NOTICE
Pay attention also to the following guidelines:
• To prevent damage resulting from leakage or from running the
pump dry, always set the lower pressure limit for the pump.
• If there is evidence of leakage in the device, turn off the pump flow
and remedy the situation immediately.
• If the pump flow is interrupted, take appropriate measures to
protect the flow cell. Observe the guidelines for use of flow cells in
Guidelines for Use of Flow Cells
NOTICE—Highly sensitive flow cells
Improper use or handling can lead to increased noise, increased drift,
increased refractive index sensitivity, clogging, leaks on the flow cell, or
even destruction of the flow cell.
• Handle flow cells always with care and use them only and strictly
within their specifications of up to 6 MPa and 50 °C.
• Observe all safety notes and guidelines for the flow cell.
