4 Repairing the Sampler
Exchanging Internal Parts
WARNING
The following procedures require opening the main cover of the sampler. Always
ensure the sampler 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 sampler 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 sampler 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
sampler. Always operate the sampler 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).
