Safety Practices and Hazards
Agilent 240/280 Series AA User’s Guide 27
Allow the furnace atomizer to cool before removing it from the
sample compartment.
Vapors and Fumes
Never place your head over the graphite tube atomizer while it is
operating. This could cause inhalation of hazardous or toxic fumes,
or your skin and eyes could be injured by corrosive vapors or fumes.
The chimney or the optional exhaust accessory must be in place for
furnace operation to ensure that toxic vapors and heat are
exhausted.
UV Radiation
When viewing the sample during the drying stage, use only a rear
coated mirror (as supplied) or the Tube-CAM option. Never look
directly at the furnace during either the ash or atomize stages.
Magnetic Field (Zeeman only)
The magnet produces a variable magnetic field of up to 0.8 Tesla peak
at mains frequency in the workhead during the read stage.
To avoid interference with heart pacemakers or magnetic storage
media, keep them at least 300 mm from the magnet.
