Operational Safety The points below are intended to enhance your safety awareness and to draw your attention to risks which only you, the operator, can prevent. While MicroCal works to ensure that the instrument is designed and tested to be as safe as possible, proper handling is also critical. The operators should be responsible people trained in basic laboratory protocol, and they should be familiar with the possible hazards before operating this instrument. ! Provide proper electrical power to the instrument. This should be 110 – 250 Volt, 50 – 60 Hertz alternating current, with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI). Most power strips, including those provided by MicroCal, contain a GFCI. All power plugs and cords should be 3-prong, grounded cables or outlets. ! Replace fuses ONLY with 3.15 Amp 250 Volt Time Delay Fuses. Several spare fuses are provided with the original shipment. ! Repairs, alterations or modifications must only be carried out by specialist personnel, or with explicit directions from a MicroCal technician. Removal or modification of any cover or component could result in an unsafe or easily damaged instrument. The MicroCal service department will be happy to answer any questions and provide parts and service when necessary. ! A solution can become an electrical conductor when in contact with electricity. Use caution when using solutions near the instrument. If any liquid is spilled on or around the instrument, unplug the instrument immediately and wipe it up. Be careful not to overflow the small reservoirs around the cell access tubes. If there is any possibility that liquid may have leaked into the instrument case, contact MicroCal immediately. Do not plug the instrument into any electrical outlet until the problem is resolved. ! The operator should always follow proper laboratory procedures in handling and disposing of volatile or hazardous solutions. ! All solutions in the cells must be cooled down below 40 ºC before removal. Any higher temperature may cause the syringe to break, and will increase the dangers of most hazardous solutions. ! Never allow liquid in the cells to freeze. The expansion of the liquid can distort the cells and rupture the most critical sensor, causing irreparable damage. ! The iTC 200 instrument should always be moved in its normal operating orientation. Other orientations will subject delicate sensors inside the instrument to stress. ! The iTC 200 cells are constructed out of Tantalum or Hastalloy. Strong acids and bases should be avoided. Please refer to the accompanying material analysis booklet for further information. ! This device is not designed to the Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC and should not be used for medical purposes and/or in the diagnosis of patients. 4
