1.5 Safety notes
1.5.1 Electrical safety
While electrical safety in the handling of the 750 Autosampler is assured
in the context of the specifications IEC 1010-1 (protection class 1, de-
gree of protection IP20), the following points should be noted:
• Mains connection
Setting the mains voltage, checking the mains fuse and the mains
connection must be effected in accordance with the instructions in
section 2.3.
• Opening the 750 Autosampler
When the 750 Autosampler is connected to the power supply the
instrument must neither be opened nor should parts be removed from
it, otherwise there is a danger of coming into contact with compo-
nents which are live. Always disconnect the instrument from all voltage
sources before you open it and ensure that the mains cable is
disconnected from mains connection plug 14 14 !
• 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 750 Autosampler, 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.
