1. Safety and Compliance
WARNING
Do not use a sample that could make a dangerous chemical reaction and cause an
explosion or poisonous gas, when the sample is dried.
Keep flammables away from the analyzer.
Parts of the analyzer become very hot. Materials placed near it might catch fire.
Do not use the analyzer in ambient ignitable gas. It may cause explosion and fire.
Use a power source (voltage, frequency, outlet type) adapted to the specification of
the analyzer. If excessive voltage is used, the analyzer may overheat and be
damage or cause a fire.
Turn off the power switch and remove the power cord from the power outlet, when
replacing the halogen lamp. Touching an electrode of the halogen lamp connector
carelessly, it may cause to receive an electric shock.
Do not disassemble the analyzer. It may cause an error, damage, receiving an electric
shock or fire. If the analyzer needs service or repair, contact the local A&D dealer.
Avoid getting the analyzer wet. It is not a water-resistant structure. If there is leakage of
liquid into the analyzer, it may cause damage to the analyzer or receiving electric shock.
Do not look at the active halogen lamp to protect your eyes from damage.
Do not drop, hit or crack the glassware including the halogen lamp, to avoid an injury.
When the halogen lamp is used beyond 5000 hours, we recommend replacing the
lamp with a new one to avoid trouble.
When discarding a halogen lamp, do not break it to avoid scattering glass and injury.
CAUTION
Do not touch the heater cover, the halogen lamp, glass-housing, pan handle, sample
pan and sample without adequate protection, it could cause a burn or scald. Parts of
the analyzer are very hot when a measurement finishes. For operation, use the
specified grips of the heater cover and pan handle. Use the standard accessory tools.
Do not touch parts affixed with the mark, because they may get very hot and
dangerous.
When the analyzer is used in a room where hot air does not diffuse, it may
unexpectedly overheat. In this case, adjust the drying temperature or move the
analyzer to a place with adequate ventilation.
Avoid leaving the analyzer in direct sunlight, as that could cause discoloration of the
case or a malfunction.
