Safety
Precautions

Safety symbols are present on the user-accessible parts of the system, on the
top rear of the tower. These labels are shown in Fig. 4. Internal symbols used
are:

ISO 3864, No. B.3.6 Caution, risk of electric shock

ISO 3864, No. B.3.1 Caution (refer to accompanying documents)

The indicator light, which shows when high-voltage power and laser power are
enabled, is labeled with the “caution” (refer to accompanying documents)
symbol (symbol 14, Table 1 of EN61010-1) and a label worded “CAUTION:
high-voltage power supplies and laser are enabled when yellow LED is
illuminated”. Documentation needs to be consulted in all cases where symbol
14, Table 1 of EN61010-1 is used in order to find out the nature of the potential
hazard and any actions which have to be taken.

Safety symbols associated with the indicator LED.

There is a risk of electric shock from the high-voltage cables and connections.
Caution is required when working with the components that require periodic
maintenance. In all cases, the instrument should be shut down and power
removed from the instrument before performing

any

service, including periodic

maintenance.

All high-voltage connections are labeled with the “Caution, risk of electric
shock” symbol (symbol 12, table 1 of EN 61010-1) and the words “Danger”
and “High Voltage.”
