• Ensure, before getting started, that the voltage rating
printed on the manufacturer's label is identical to your
local line voltage (See section 4.3 AC Power
Connection on page 7).
• The MAX
®
4000 is provided with a power cord that has
a protective grounding conductor. Do not operate the
instrument without the supplied three-wire power cord or
an identical recognized equivalent that meets all
applicable standards.
• AZI does not recommend the use of an extension cord.
However, if one must be used, use an extension cord
that meets all applicable standards and has a protective
grounding conductor.
• Do not remove the protective grounding wire from the
power supply circuit.
• With the power switch off, power is still applied to the
power entry module. Remove the power cord from the
MAX
®
4000 to ensure complete power removal from the
instrument.
• Position the power cable so that it cannot touch any hot
areas of the instrument.
• Use only AZI supplied accessories and options with the
MAX
®
4000 and check with AZI before using any third
party accessories, such as printers and analytical
balances, to verify compatibility.
• If there is visible damage to the MAX
®
4000 or its power
cord, unplug and isolate the instrument first and then call
AZI Customer Service.
• Do not open the housing of the MAX
®
4000. There are
no user serviceable parts or adjustments inside the
instrument. Any maintenance inside the instrument is to
be performed by factory-trained technicians only. Any
unauthorized inspection and/or maintenance of the
MAX
®
4000 will make the warranty null and void.
LITHIUM COIN CELL BATTERY
The MAX
®
4000 contains a lithium battery to keep power on
the clock when the instrument is turned off. CAUTION – The
battery may explode if mistreated. Do not recharge,
disassemble, or dispose of in fire.
PREVENT EXCESS HEAT BUILD-UP AROUND THE
INSTRUMENT
• When setting up the instrument, leave enough space to
prevent heat from building up and to keep your
instrument from overheating. Leave 20 cm (8 inches)
around the instrument and 1 m (3 feet) above the
instrument.
• Do not put any flammable substances on, under or near
the instrument, as the area around the instrument will
heat up.
• Use extreme care when removing the sample from the
chamber. The heating chamber, the sample itself, the
sample pan, and the heating element can still be
extremely hot.
HAZARDS FOR PERSONS OR EQUIPMENT POSED BY
USING SPECIFIC SAMPLES: Flammables; explosives;
substances that contain flammables, explosives, solvents;
and/or substances that release flammable or explosive gases
or vapors during the drying process.
• The user shall be liable and responsible for any damage
that arises in connection with the MAX
®
4000 and
potentially harmful substances.
• Substances containing toxic, caustic, or corrosive
substances may be analyzed with the instrument in an
appropriate fume hood only. The fume hood must keep
the work area below the lower toxic limit established by
appropriate standards.
• Substances that release caustic vapors such as acids
should be analyzed in the smallest sample size possible
to still achieve satisfactory results. If vapors condense
on the MAX
®
4000 housing parts, stop the testing, wipe
the surface clean with a suitable neutralizer and place
the instrument in a fume hood capable of removing the
vapors.
• The user has the responsibility for carrying out
appropriate decontamination if hazardous material is
spilled on or inside the MAX
®
4000.
CLEANING
• Clean the MAX
®
4000 according to the cleaning
instructions only. Use of strong detergents and “oven
cleaners” will damage the case and heater housing of
the MAX
®
4000.
• Before using any cleaning or decontamination method
except those recommended by Arizona Instrument,
check with AZI Customer Service to ensure that the
proposed method will not damage the equipment.
• The outside housing of the MAX
®
4000 should be
cleaned with a mild household detergent such as
Formula 409
and a soft, lint-free cloth. Paper towels
should never be used, as they will scratch the
instrument’s finish and the clear lens over the display. If
methods that are more stringent are required, call AZI
Customer Service for recommendations.
• Every precaution has been taken to prevent
contaminants from entering the instrument. However, if
liquids or powders do enter the case, call AZI Customer
Service for recommendations.
The user shall be liable and responsible for any damage that
arises in connection with this instrument.
