Safety Practices and Hazards
Agilent Microwave Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometers User’s Guide 11
Use only approved regulator and hose connectors (refer to the gas
supplier’s instructions). Keep gas cylinders cool and properly
labeled. (All cylinders are fitted with a pressure relief device that will
rupture and empty the cylinder if the internal pressure is raised
above the safe limit by excessive temperatures.) Ensure that you have
the correct cylinder before connecting it to the MP-AES instrument.
If using cryogenic (liquid) gases (for example, liquid nitrogen or
argon) prevent severe burns by wearing suitable protective clothing
and gloves.
Dangerous Goods
The Onboard Argon Bottle is considered dangerous goods when
shipped and must comply with the rules and regulations imposed by
the local and recipient’s authorities.
Electrical Hazards
The MP-AES instrument and some accessories contain electrical
circuits, devices and components operating at dangerous voltages.
Contact with these circuits, devices and components can cause death,
serious injury or painful electric shock. Panels or covers that are
retained by screws on the MP-AES instrument and accessories may
be opened only by Agilenttrained, Agilent-qualified or
Agilentapproved field service engineers (unless specifically
instructed). Consult the documentation or product labels supplied
with your personal computer (PC), monitor and printer to determine
which parts are operator-accessible.
The power cord set shipped with the MP-AES instrument cannot be
used with other products.
If necessary, replace the power cord only with a cord equivalent to
the one specified in the site preparation guide.
