1.4 Safety notes
1.4.1 Electrical safety
While electrical safety in the handling of the 761 SD Compact IC is as-
sured in the context of the specifications IEC /EN 61010-1 (prot. class 1,
degree of protection IP 20), the following points should be noted:
• Mains connection
Setting of the mains voltage, checking the mains fuse and the
mains connection must be effected in accordance with the instruc-
tions in section 2.11.
• Opening the 761 SD Compact IC
If the 761 SD Compact IC is connected to the power supply, the in-
strument must not be opened nor must parts be removed from it, oth-
erwise there is a danger of coming into contact with components
which are live. Hence, always disconnect the instrument from all volt-
age sources before you open it and ensure that the mains cable is
disconnected from mains connection 15 !
• Protection against static charges
Electronic components are sensitive to static charging and can be
destroyed by discharges. Before you touch any of the components
inside the 761 SD Compact IC, you should earth yourself and any
tools you are using by touching an earthed object (e.g. housing of the
instrument or a radiator) to eliminate any static charges which exist.
1.4.2 General precautionary rules
• Handling of solvents
Check all lines of the IC system periodically for possible leaks. Follow
the relevant instructions regarding the handling of flammable and/or
toxic solvents and their disposal.
• Periodic exchange of pump tubing
Pump tubing is consumable material and must be replaced from time
to time (see Section 6.2.9). Please take suitable measures to ensure
that any leakage on pump tubing or connections in unattended con-
tinuous operation does not cause damage (position the instrument at
the bottom and provide a receptacle for catching escaping fluid).
