    Safety Practices Environmental Conditions Operating Conditions The Clarus GC is designed for indoor use only. CAUTION Do not operate in a Cold Room or a refrigerated area. The Clarus GC operates most efficiently under the following conditions: • Ambient temperature is 10 °C to 35 °C (50 °F to 95 °F). The GC CAUTION will operate safely between 5 °C and 40 °C (41 °F and 104 °F).
  • Page 23 Clarus 600 GC Installation Guide Cleaning and Decontamination Before using any cleaning or decontamination methods except those specified by PerkinElmer, users should check with PerkinElmer that the proposed method will not damage the equipment. Clarus GC Touch Screen For optimum performance, the Clarus GC’s touch screen may require periodic re- calibration.

  • Page 24: Electrical Safety

    Safety Practices Electrical Safety The Clarus 600 GC contains high voltage. To prevent the risk of shock, unplug the line cord from the AC outlet and wait at least one minute before opening or removing any instrument panels. The instrument has been designed to protect the operator from potential electrical hazards.
  • Page 25 CAUTION clearance between instruments. Do not position the Clarus 600 GC so that it is difficult to operate the power switch on the lower right side of the instrument. Ensure that the power cord is correctly wired and that the ground leads of all electrical units (for example, recorders, integrators) are connected together via the circuit ground to earth.
  • Page 26 Lethal voltages are present at certain areas within the instrument. Installation and internal maintenance of the instrument should only be performed by a PerkinElmer service engineer or similarly authorized and trained person. When the instrument is connected to line power, opening the instrument covers is likely to expose live WARNING parts.

  • Page 31: Safe Handling Of Gases

    Clarus 600 GC Installation Guide Safe Handling of Gases When using hydrogen, either as the combustion gas for a flame ionization detector or as a carrier gas, special care must be taken to avoid buildup of explosive hydrogen/air mixtures. Ensure that all hydrogen line couplings are leak-free and do not allow hydrogen to vent within the oven.
  • Page 32 Safety Practices Contact the gas supplier for a material safety data sheet (MSDS) containing detailed information on the potential hazards associated with the gas. Carefully use, store, and handle compressed gases in cylinders. Gas cylinders can be hazardous if they are mishandled. WARNING NOTE: The permanent installation of gas supplies is the responsibility of the user and should conform to local safety and building codes.
  • Page 33 Clarus 600 GC Installation Guide • Do not store cylinders near elevators, gangways, or in locations where heavy moving objects may strike or fall against them. • Use and store cylinders away from exits and exit routes. • Locate cylinders away from heat sources, including heat lamps. Compressed gas cylinders should not be subjected to temperatures above 52 °C (126 °F).

  • Page 34: Hazardous Chemicals

    Safety Practices Hazardous Chemicals Before using samples, you should be thoroughly familiar with all hazards and safe handling practices. Observe the manufacturer’s recommendations for use, storage and disposal. These recommendations are normally provided in the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) supplied with the solvents. Be aware that the chemicals that you use in conjunction with the GC may be hazardous.
