In Case of Emergency

Refractive Index Detector (VC-D60)
Operating Manual
WARNING—Hazardous Vapors
Mobile phases and samples might contain volatile or flammable
solvents. The handling of these substances can pose health and safety
risks.
• Avoid accumulation of these substances. Make sure that the
installation site is well ventilated.
• Avoid open flames and sparks.
• Do not operate the device in the presence of flammable gases or
fumes.
CAUTION—Sparking due to Electrostatic Discharge
Liquid flowing through capillaries can generate static electricity. This
effect is particularly present with insulating capillaries and non-
conductive solvents (for example, pure acetonitrile). Discharge of
electrostatic energy might lead to sparking, which could constitute a fire
hazard.
Prevent the generation of static electricity near the chromatography
system.
WARNING—Safety Hazard
In case of emergency, disconnect the device from the power line.
