2.1.2 Safety Instructions Related to Installation Location
Warning
The solvents used in high performance liquid chromatography are flammable
and toxic. The room where the instrument is installed should be well ventilated.
Otherwise, solvent vapors could cause poisoning or ignite and cause a
fire.
High performance liquid chromatography uses large amounts of flammable
organic solvents. Use of open flame in the vicinity of this instrument must be
strictly prohibited. Do not install the instrument in the same room with any other
equipment that emits or could potentially emit sparks.
Sparks could cause a fire. Provide fire extinguishers for use in case of fire.
Provide protective equipment near the instrument.
If solvent gets into the eyes or on the skin, it must be flushed away immediately.
Provide equipment, such as eye wash stations and safety showers, as close to
the instrument as possible.
CAUTION
The weight of the system controller is 5.5 kg. When performing installation, consider
the entire weight combined with other LC components.
The lab table on which the system controller is installed should be sufficiently strong
to support the total weight of the LC system. It should be level, stable, and have a
depth of at least 60 cm. If the table is unstable or too small, the instrument could tip
over or fall off.
60 cm min.
