Do not use vials without sealing caps. Vapors from volatile solvents may be
hazardous and flammable. Acidic vapors may be corrosive for the mechanical parts.
The autosampler complies with section 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
This autosampler has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A
digital device, pursuant to section 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. This equipment can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be
required to correct the interference at his own expense.
If, during the start up process or while the running the machine, you notice unusual
noises or vibrations, stop the operating process and contact the Technical Assistance
Centre.
The warning signals stuck on the turret and on the oven cover indicate the presence
of moving parts, including the syringe and the fan in HT2000H/HT2000HT. Be careful
to avoid bumps or cuts.
The biohazard warnings present on the turret and on the oven cover indicates the
possible presence of biological or hazardous substances. This depends on the types
of substances used with the autosampler.
The autosampler can heat the vials in the oven and the sample in the syringe up to
170°C (HT2000H), 150°C (HT2100H) and 300°C (HT2000HT). For that reason the
oven and the syringe holder are labelled as hot surfaces. Be careful to avoid burns.
Allow the heated syringe adapter to cool down before attempting to change or inspect
the syringe. Do not touch the vials, without adequately protected hands, for at least 30
minutes after the vial is removed from the oven.
The autosampler can heat the vials in the oven and the sample in the syringe up to
170°C (HT2000H), 150°C (HT2100H) and 300°C (HT2000HT). The autosampler is not
intended to be used with a large quantity of flammable substances. Verify, according
to analysis of the laboratories safety standard and safety cards of chemical
substances, that substances can be used at this temperature without any risk to the
operator and/or the environment.
