1.1 Indoor use
1.1 Indoor use
The model 4001, PILS-AC80, and PILS-AC38 are intended for indoor use only. The op-
erating temperature range of the devices is 0-40C. The operating humidity range of the
devices is 10-95%.
1.2 Maximum recommended operating ambient temperature
The maximum recommended operating ambient temperature is 40C.
1.3 Rack-mounting
Only use the hardware and rack-mount ears supplied by the factory to mount the product
in a rack.
1.4 Pinch hazard
Do not operate the product with any of the white plastic tubing clamps removed from
the peristaltic pump as a pinch hazard may result if a nger, foreign object, or other
item becomes lodged between the rollers of the pump.
1.5 Needle puncture hazard
Do not operate the Auto-Collector product with the needle guards removed from the
needle housing as a puncture hazard may result if a nger, foreign object, or other item
becomes lodged between the needle housing and vial carousel or under the needle as it
inserts into a vial.
Do not insert a nger, foreign object, or any other item under the needle housing.
1.6 Burn hazard
Removing the chassis cover may expose you to items at high temperatures that
could burn you. Only trained service personnel should remove the chassis cover. In par-
83-00009-01A PILS 4001-115V and 4001-230V Page 6 of 74
1.7 Electrical shock hazard
ticular, if the insulation on the steam delivery tube between the steam heater and the
steam injector is removed, the exposed metal surfaces will be hot during operation.
1.7 Electrical shock hazard
Removing the chassis cover may expose you to high AC voltage circuits that can
harm you if touched. Only trained service personnel should remove the chassis cover.
1.8 Water leak hazard
Improperly connecting the liquid supply or drain bottle tubes to the peristaltic pump
may result in a water leak. Improperly connecting the liquid supply tube from the peri-
staltic pump to the Auto-collector may result in a water leak. Blockage of the steam
tip or steam heater coil tubes may result in back pressure producing a water leak in the
steam heater liquid supply line. Take care to locate devices so a water leak near the front
of the PILS chassis or the rear panel of the Auto-collector does not create a hazardous
condition.
1.9 Replaceable fuses
Only replace AC power fuses with ”H” style fuses having identical size, voltage, and cur-
rent carrying capacity. The internal 24 VDC fuse may only be replaced by trained service
personnel.
1.10 Power cord
Caution: Only use the power cord provided with the Model 4001 PILS. Risk of re if used
with a power cord which has an inadequate rating. Contact Brechtel for a replacement
cord if the power cord is damaged or missing.
1.11 Shock during shipping
If the shock watch installed on the shipping case has tripped, contact BRECHTEL. Vi-
sually inspect the PILS to check for any components that may have come loose during
shipping.

1.12 Freezing during shipping
1.12 Freezing during shipping
Components in the PILS may be damaged when exposed to freezing temperatures during
shipping. Be sure to dry out the device prior to shipment.
1.13 Accessories
Only accessories approved by BRECHTEL and meeting required factory specications
may be used with the device.
1.14 Lifting and carrying
The PILS and Auto-collector shipping boxes are large and moderately heavy. Take care
to lift and carry the boxed devices, as well as the devices themselves, to avoid injury.
1.15 No User serviceable parts
WARNING: There are no user serviceable parts within the device. Removal
of the PILS control chassis top cover may expose the user to high voltages, high tem-
peratures, and pressurized steam. Only trained service personnel should remove the
chassis cover. Removal of the top cover by anyone other than a trained service per-
sonnel will void the product warranty.
1.16 EMI statement (Class A)
