Before using this instrument
0.2.1 Analyzer tube and sensor unit
WARNING:
Risk of burns. Read this manual before replacing the ion source of the analyzer
tube and the secondary electron multiplier (SEM) tube. Before replacement,
make sure that the filament is turned off and the ion source has cooled down
because the ion source is very hot immediately after use.
WARNING:
If the analyzer tube or its components have been used in an environment that
can be hazardous to the human health, dispose of them using an accredited
disposal service.
WARNING:
Risk of fire or explosion. The analyzer tube contains a hot cathode (about 1400
°C). If the gas to be introduced into the analyzer tube is combustible or
inflammable, check its limit density and the amount of gas before use.
WARNING:
Risk of burns. The surroundings of the ion source are hot during operation
because of the hot cathode element. You can be burned if you touch immediately
after turning it off. Allow the heaters and pipes to cool to a safe temperature. Do
not touch the intermediate pipe during operation or immediately after shut-down
because it can be heated to a high temperature by the hot cathode.
WARNING:
Do not disassemble the analyzer tube, sensor unit and cable.
WARNING:
Do not modify the analyzer tube, sensor unit or cable. If modified, any operation
and performance are not guaranteed. It could also cause fire or electric shock.
WARNING:
Connect the product to A-class grounding to prevent electrical leakage.
WARNING:
For safety reason, do not touch the metal parts of a terminal, which could be
energized with a voltage. Touching the metal parts could cause electric shock.
