1.8 Safety information
24 Metrohm Sample Processor, Introduction
1.8.3 Personal protection
The different drives of the Sample Processor and the 786 Swing Head
possess considerable force in order that they can freely move even un-
der heavy loads. They are fitted with electronic overload limiters that are
triggered if the mechanical resistance is too high.
When the instrument is running do not intrude in the working range
of the Sample Processor.
For the user there is a considerable
risk of injury from manual in-
terference with the automatic processes of the instrument.
HOLD
LEARN
Running methods and individual commands can be interrupted with
the <HOLD> key and then continued with <START>.
Emergency stop
STOP
The <STOP> key always terminates all running processes immedi-
ately (exception: initialization during switch-on).
Important!
Before you use the instrument for the first time you must install the
included 6.2751.0xx Safety Shield, see p. 48.
The Sample Processor must not be operated without the Safety
Shield in position!

Biohazard
The Sample Processor does not provide sufficient protection when
processing potentially infectious samples or reagents.
In this case install the necessary safety devices.
