Safety Information Related to Operation

WARNING

Absence of ground connection

The absence of ground connection can lead to electric shock or short circuit.

• Never operate your instrumentation from a power outlet that has no ground connection.

WARNING

Electrical shock hazard

Solvents may damage electrical cables.

• Prevent electrical cables from getting in contact with solvents.
• Exchange electrical cables after contact with solvents.

WARNING

Inaccessible power plug.

In case of emergency it must be possible to disconnect the instrument from the power line at any time.

• Make sure the power connector of the instrument can be easily reached and unplugged.
• Provide sufficient space behind the power socket of the instrument to unplug the cable.

WARNING

Incorrect line voltage at the module

Shock hazard or damage of your instrument can result if the devices are connected to line voltage higher than specified.

• Connect your module to the specified line voltage.

WARNING

Incorrect line voltage at the module

Shock hazard or damage of your instrument can result if the devices are connected to line voltage higher than specified.

• Connect your module to the specified line voltage.

WARNING

Electrical shock

Repair work at the module can lead to personal injuries, e.g. shock hazard, when the cover is opened.

• Do not remove the cover of the module.
• Only certified persons are authorized to carry out repairs inside the module.

WARNING

Unintended use of power cords

Using power cords for unintended purposes can lead to personal injury or damage of electronic equipment.

• Never use a power cord other than the one that Agilent shipped with this instrument.
• Never use the power cords that Agilent Technologies supplies with this instrument for any other equipment.
• Never use cables other than the ones supplied by Agilent Technologies to ensure proper functionality and compliance with safety or EMC regulations.

WARNING

Use of unsupplied cables

Using cables not supplied by Agilent Technologies can lead to damage of the electronic components or personal injury.

• Never use cables other than the ones supplied by Agilent Technologies to ensure proper functionality and compliance with safety or EMC regulations.

CAUTION

Solvent incompatibility

The solvent DMF (dimethylformamide) leads to corrosion of the leak sensor. The material of the leak sensor, PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride), is incompatible with DMF.

• Do not use DMF as mobile phase.
• Check the leak sensor regularly for corrosion.

CAUTION

Condensation within the module

Condensation can damage the system electronics.

• Do not store, ship or use your module under conditions where temperature fluctuations could cause condensation within the module.
• If your module was shipped in cold weather, leave it in its box and allow it to warm slowly to room temperature to avoid condensation.

CAUTION

Use of unsupported modules in InfinityLab Assist Technology

Damage to the instrument and accessories

• Proceed with caution.
