Safety instructions
SPECORD PLUS Edition 03/2013 11
Observe the following notes:
The SPECORD PLUS and its system components (PC) must always be switched
off before being connected to the mains.
The mains plug must only be inserted into a shock-proof socket to guarantee pro-
tection class I (protective conductor connection) for the device. The protective ef-
fect must not be invalidated by the use of an extension line which does not have a
protective conductor.
Before connecting the SPECORD PLUS to the mains check that the operating
voltage specified on the power rating plate at the rear of the device matches the
mains voltage at the intended socket. Operation with a voltage other than the spec-
ified operating voltage can destroy the device.
Before opening the device it must be switched off from the device switch and the
mains connector must be disconnected from the mains outlet!
Any work on the electronics may only be carried out by the customer service of
Analytik Jena AG and specially authorized technicians.
The device must be switched off immediately at the device switch (on the enclo-
sure wall) and the power supply disconnected from the mains if there is any inter-
ference with the electric components.
2.6.4 Handling of samples and reagents
The operator is responsible for the selection of substances used in the process as well as for
their safe handling. This is particularly important for radioactive, infectious, poisonous, corro-
sive, combustible, explosive and otherwise dangerous substances.
When handling dangerous substances local safety codes and guidelines must be observed.
The following general notes do not replace the specific local regulations or the regulations in
the EC safety data sheets of the manufacturers for the auxiliary and operating materials.
Observe the following notes:
The operator is responsible for carrying out suitable decontamination should the
device be contaminated externally or internally with dangerous substances.
Spots, drops or larger spillages should be removed and cleaned using an absor-
bent material such as cotton wool, laboratory wiping cloths or cellulose. The affect-
ed areas are then to be wiped with an Incidin Plus solution. Before using a cleaning
or decontamination procedure other than that prescribed by the manufacturer, the
user shall check with the manufacturer that the intended procedure will not damage
the device.
