NOTICE
The following precautions should be observed to avoid possible exposure to excessive microwave energy if using
the SMART 6 Moisture/Solids Analyzer:
• Do not tamper with the safety interlocks. The SMART 6 is equipped with three safety interlocks which prevent the
instrument from producing microwave power if the cover is open.
• Do not place any object between the SMART 6 cavity and the cover, or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate
on sealing surfaces.
• Do not operate the instrument if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the instrument cover close properly
and that there is no damage to the cover (bent), hinges and latch (broken or loosened), or sealing surfaces of the
SMART 6.
• The instrument should only be adjusted or repaired by qualified service personnel.
The following precautions should be observed to avoid instrument-induced electromagnetic interference:
• The possibility of instrument-induced electromagnetic interference (EMI) is minimal if the precautions outlined
above are followed.
• The ORACLE should not be placed close to any electrical device susceptible to EMI. It is suggested that the user
post a sign warning pacemaker wearers that a device utilizing microwave and magnetic fields is in operation.
• If the SMART 6 is suspected of inducing EMI, please contact the CEM Service Department to perform a Microwave
Leakage Test.
This instrument utilizes high voltages and microwave radiation.
• Instrument service and repair should be performed only by those trained in repair and maintenance of high
voltage and microwave power systems.
• If the ORACLE or SMART 6 are used in a manner not specified by CEM Corporation, protections provided by the
systems may be impaired.
Warnings, cautions, and notes are included throughout this manual and should be read thoroughly and strictly
followed.
WARNING: A warning is inserted for essential information used to emphasize dangerous or hazardous conditions to
the operation, cleaning, and maintenance of the instrument which may result in personal injury.
CAUTION: A caution is inserted for essential information used to emphasize procedures which, if not strictly
followed, may result in damage or destruction of the instrument or improper instrument operation.
NOTE: A note is inserted for emphasis of procedures or conditions which may otherwise be misinterpreted or
overlooked and to clarify possible confusing situations.
