Precautions and Safety
The entire unit weighs approximately 100 lbs – 45.5 kgs. Choose a place
to set up the unit before completing its assembly.
If the unit must be moved, separate the Sampler from the analyzer before
moving. If these two units come apart while being carried, it may result in
injury or severe damage.
Always keep a distance of at least 2 inches (5 cm) between the rear of
the unit and the wall. If this distance is not maintained, the connecting
tubes and cables may overheat.
Do NOT use power frequencies or voltage other than those specified in
this document. Connection to an inappropriate power source may cause
injury or fire.
Make certain that the power supply for the iChemVELOCITY is from a
dedicated line that provides power to no other instruments or appliances.
If power is not clean and steady, a UPS and/or power conditioner is
recommended.
Do NOT disassemble or modify the unit. Doing so may cause injury
and/or instrument malfunction and void the warranty.
Place the unit on a stable and level surface free of vibration. Failure to do
so may cause injury or malfunction of the unit.
Do NOT place the unit where it may be affected by chemicals, corrosive
gases or electronic noise. Doing so may cause injury or malfunction of the
unit.
Do NOT place the unit where it may be affected by water, direct sunlight
or draft. This may yield incorrect results, and the unit may be damaged.
Select a room to set up the unit where the temperature can be controlled
between 68
