Safety

vii

This section gives instructions to promote safe and proper

operation of the Model 3936 Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS

system), samples of warnings found in this manual, and

information on labels attached to system instruments.

Laser Safety

The Model 3936 Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer and Model 3010,

3022/3022A, and 3025/3025A Condensation Particle Counters

(CPC) are Class I laser-based instrument. During normal operation,

you will not be exposed to laser radiation. However, you must take

certain precautions or you may expose yourself to hazardous,

optical radiation in the form of intense, focused, invisible light.

Exposure to this light can cause blindness.

Take these precautions:

 Do not remove any parts from SMPS system instruments unless

you are specifically told to do so in this manual.

Do not remove any instrument housing when power is applied.

WARNING

The use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those

specified in this manual may result in exposure to hazardous optical

radiation.

Electrical Safety

The Model 3080 Classifier; Models 3010, 3022, 3022A, 3025, and

3025A CPCs; and Model 3081, 3083, and 3085 DMAs have high-

voltage points within their cabinets/cases. Only a qualified

technician should perform service or maintenance.

viii Model 3936 SMPS (Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer)

WARNING

High voltage is accessible in several locations within these instruments.

Make sure you unplug the power source before removing the cover or

performing maintenance procedures. Don’t apply power to the

Model 3080 Classifier unless you have a DMA high-voltage cord

connected and the DMA properly grounded through the baseplate.

Chemical Safety

CPCs use n-butyl alcohol (butanol) as a working fluid. Butanol is

flammable. Butanol is also toxic if inhaled. Refer to a material

safety data sheet on butanol and take these precautions:

Use butanol only in a well-ventilated area.

Butanol vapor is identified by its characteristically strong odor

and can easily be detected. If you smell butanol and develop a

headache, or feel faint or nauseous, leave the area at once.

Ventilate the area before returning.

Caution

Butanol is flammable. Butanol is also potentially toxic if inhaled. Use

butanol only in a well-ventilated area. If you smell butanol and

develop a headache, or feel faint or nauseous, leave the area at

once. Ventilate the area before returning.

WARNING

Although the CPC is appropriate for monitoring inert process gases such

as nitrogen or argon, it should not be used with hazardous gases such

as hydrogen or oxygen. Using the CPC with hazardous gases may

cause injury to personnel and damage to equipment.

Safety ix

Radiation Safety

The Model 3080 Electrostatic Classifier contains a Model 3077

Aerosol Neutralizer with a Krypton-85 source. Under normal

circumstances, you will not come into contact with hazardous

radiation. However, take these precautions when using the

Neutralizer in an Electrostatic Classifier or in another instrument:

Do not remove any parts from the Electrostatic Classifier unless

you are specifically told to do so in the Electrostatic Classifier

manual.

Corrosive materials can degrade materials that are a part of the

Neutralizer. Do not operate the Classifier or other instrument

with chemicals that corrode 303, 304, or 316 stainless steel,

copper, silver solder, or epoxy.

Do not operate the Electrostatic Classifier or other instrument

in temperatures above 50°C. Temperatures above 50°C may

cause the Neutralizer to leak, causing radioactive

contamination.

The Neutralizer has a half-life of 10.4 years. Keep all Neutralizer

packing materials. After 10 years, TSI recommends you return

the Neutralizer to the manufacturer and order a new

Neutralizer.

Install and remove the Neutralizer using directions in

Electrostatic Classifier manual (if applicable).

WARNING

The use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those

specified in this manual may result in exposure to hazardous radiation.

Labels

External and internal advisory labels and identification labels are

attached to the CPC, the Aerosol Neutralizer, and the Electrostatic

Classifier. Refer to individual product manuals for descriptions and

locations of these labels.
