Introduction
This section describes how to perform an emergency shutdown of ÄKTAprocess, the
result in the event of power failure, and the procedure for restarting ÄKTAprocess in this
case.
Precautions
WARNING
Emergency stop. Pressing the EMERGENCY STOP will not shut off
mains power to the cabinet.
WARNING
Power failure. During a power failure, or if the EMERGENCY STOP
button is pressed, ÄKTAprocess may remain pressurized. Opening
a line or vessel at this point could result in the release of potentially
hazardous process or cleaning fluid, and cause bodily harm.
When recovering from a power failure or emergency shutdown,
make sure all lines and vessels are depressurized before opening.
