Combustible solvents
Warning: Risk of vapour ignition. Only operate the system in a ventilated
environment and carry out a risk assessment before evaporating any
combustible solvents.
Genevac's position regarding the evaporation of such solvents, particularly with respect
to the European ATEX directive, is available on our website, at www.genevac.com, or
from your local Genevac representative.
Electrical earthing
Warning: Risk of electric shock. This equipment must be earthed. The
evaporation system is a safety class I product according to IEC classification.
It must never be used with any interruption to the safety earth conductor. For
systems with multiple power leads, each lead requires a separate earth
connection and must be plugged into a separate power socket which is
connected directly into the laboratory electrical supply; do not use extension
leads.
This equipment is an installation class II product and is intended to operate from a normal
single-phase supply.
Emergency shutdown
To shutdown in an emergency, switch off the power socket at the wall and unplug (or
simply unplug if there is no switch). All Genevac evaporators are designed to be safe,
with respect to samples, when switched off in an emergency. The system will
automatically vent and the rotor (evaporation vessel) will spin down slowly when power is
removed. Users should familiarise themselves with the location of the connection to the
mains supply and make sure the power socket and plug is always accessible.
Strong acids
Caution: Do not attempt to evaporate, HCl, thionyl chloride, or other acid
chlorides, in non-HCl compatible evaporators.
Low auto-ignition point solvents
Warning: Risk of vapour ignition. Do not attempt to evaporate diethyl ether,
pentane or other low auto-ignition solvents.
