4 Intuvo 9000 GC Safety Manual
Introduction
Important Safety Warnings
Before moving on, there are several important safety notices that you should
always keep in mind when using the Agilent GC.
Many internal parts of the GC carry dangerous voltages
If the GC is connected to a power source, even if the power switch is off,
potentially dangerous voltages exist on:
• The wiring between the GC power cord and the AC power supply and the
AC power supply itself.
Do not use an Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) with a GC
If the area where the GC is located suddenly looses power, an unsafe condition
can result if the GC remains powered on. Do not use the GC with a UPS.
When handling/using chemicals for preparation or use within the GC, all
applicable local and national laboratory safety practices must be followed. This
would include, but is not limited to, correct use of Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE), correct use of storage vials, and correct handling of chemicals, as defined in
the laboratory’s internal safety analysis and standard operating procedures. Failure
to adhere to laboratory safety practices could lead to injury or death.
If the power cord insulation is frayed or worn, the cord must be replaced. Contact
your Agilent service representative.
The GC power supply uses double pole/neutral fusing. Line voltage can be present
on the neutral and on the phased power leads. To prevent electric shock, always
disconnect the power cord before servicing the instrument. Refer servicing to
Agilent-trained personnel only. There are no user serviceable parts within the GC
power supply.
