SA 5545 Reactor control unit Chapter 1 Introduction 1-3
1.3 Safety precautions
Only qualified persons should carry out all adjustments, maintenance and
repair of the instrument.
1. The instrument is designed for laboratory use.
2. Before the instrument is connected to the mains and switched on,
check whether the required voltage (indicated on the net entry at the
back of the instrument) corresponds with the line voltage.
3. The instrument power cord must only be plugged into a line supply
outlet with ground protector (earth). If an extension cord is used, make
sure that the protector line is not interrupted.
4. Opening of the instrument or disassembling parts of the instrument
while connected to the main power supply can cause severe electrical
damage along with physical injury. Before any service, repair or
change of parts, the instrument has to be disconnected from all power
supplies. Service and repair work on the voltage carrying instruments
should be avoided whenever possible. If such work is absolutely
necessary qualified personnel, who are aware of the hazards, should
carry it out.
5. Whenever it is likely that safe operation is impaired, the instrument
must be made inoperative and secured against unintended operation.
The appropriate servicing personnel must then be informed.
6. Never place the unit in an area where it will be exposed to extreme
heat, moisture or corrosive materials.
7. The instrument must be disconnected from all electrical sources when
a fuse is to be renewed.
Skalar Analytical B.V. does not accept liability for any consequences
caused by irresponsible use or irresponsible handling of the instrument, nor
for the effects and consequences induced by its use.
