132 Agilent 1200 Series Autosampler Reference Manual
4 Repairing the Autosampler
Exchanging Internal Parts
The procedures in this section describe how to exchange defective internal 
parts. You must remove the autosampler from the stack in order to open the 
main cover.
WARNING
The following procedures require opening the main cover of the autosampler. 
Always ensure the autosampler is disconnected from the line power when the main 
cover is removed. The security lever at the power input socket prevents the 
autosampler cover from being taken off when line power is still connected.
WARNING
The power supply still uses some power, even if the power switch on the front panel 
is turned off. To disconnect the autosampler from line power, unplug the power cord. 
WARNING
When opening capillary or tube fittings solvents may leak out. Please observe 
appropriate safety procedures (for example, goggles, safety gloves and protective 
clothing) as described in the material handling and safety data sheet supplied by the 
solvent vendor, especially when toxic or hazardous solvents are used.
NOTE
The electronics of the autosampler will not allow operation when the top cover and the top 
foam are removed. A safety light switch on the main board will inhibit the operation of the 
autosampler. Always operate the autosampler with the top foam and top covers in place.
CAUTION
Internal components may be sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Always use an 
ESD strap when handling internal components (see “Using the ESD Strap” on 
page 107).
