5 Installation
5.1 Setting check up
Device falling down
Incorrect erection or inadequate working space
– Due to its weight, the device can cause injuries if it falls down.
• Only operate the device on a sufficiently large, strong, non-slip and
stable working area.
• Ensure that all feet of the device are standing securely.
Fire hazard / Risk of burns
Hot parts (crucibles, reagents,..) can fall down
• Ignition of tables, floors, or any other surface the hot part falls on
• Ignition of clothes and any other material
• Set up the analyser in a flame-retardant environment. Pay special
attention to the table, the floor and any other surface being in the near
of the analyser
• Make sure that the surrounding space of the analyser stays clear of
any flammable material
• Always wear suitable clothing
• Keep the work environment clear of all materials that could catch fire
• Do not store any items on top of the analyzer
Mortal danger from electric shock
Exposed power contacts - High Voltage
− An electric shock can cause injuries in the form of burns and cardiac
arrhythmia, respiratory arrest or cardiac arrest.
• Set the mains switch of the analyser to position 0 and pull the
mains plug of the mains socket.
Installation of the machine
– It must be possible to disconnet the machine from the mains at any time.
• Install the machine such that the connection for the mains cable is
easily accessible.
Since the analyser weighs about 90 kg it should be placed on a suitably stable and flame-
retardant surface. Due to the balance, the platform should be as free of vibration as possible.
The loader is attached to the right side of the analyser. The size of a desktop (approx. 200 cm
80 cm for the analyzer with 130-crucibles autoloader) is sufficient for the entire set-up.
