Warning! Risk of suffocation!
The instrument is operated with argon. Argon is heavier than air. It can
accumulate in a closed room, especially on the floor or lower-lying areas.
Ensure that adequate ventilation is provided. If necessary, install oxygen
sensors.
-voltage pulse ignites the plasma. Subsequently, the burning voltage is
applied to the electrode.
When the instrument is switched on, there is an inheren
t danger of an electrical
emission during a spark test,
especially if the sample is removed during the
For a healthy person, this electrical transmission is of no concern. These are
electromagnetic fields of low intensity. Due to this transmission, the electromagnetic
characteristics of the instrument may be outside the limits of EN61326-1 in some
areas. As a result, interferences of radio transmissions can occur in the immediate
(close) range of the spectrometer. This means, for example, interference during the
reception of radio transmissions is possible (crackling, image disturbances).
Users of life-sustaining or supporting medical devices (e.g., insulin pumps,
pacemakers, defibrillators, EEG, ECG devices, etc.) should not be affected by CE-
compliant instruments. For this group of operators, however, it is strongly
recommended to contact the manufacturer of the instrument before using the
spectrometer!
