Licensing
Warning The instrument is a nuclear device regulated by federal and / or
state authorities. You are responsible for knowing and following the
pertinent safety and regulatory requirements. Refer to Gamma Radiation
Safety (p/n 717904) for a summary of these requirements. ▲
Warning Moving or removing an installed source housing or any assembly
that includes a source housing requires a person who is specifically licensed
to install and commission Thermo Scientific source heads. ▲
In the United States, your general license permits you to own and install all
of the instrument’s components, including the source head. However, you
may not commission the instrument (remove the lock and open the source
housing shutter for the first time) without a specific license authorizing
radiation commissioning of the instrument. In Canada, you are only
allowed to remove the instrument from the shipping container if your
CNSC license has a condition authorizing mounting / dismounting of
devices. For assistance obtaining a license or commissioning /
decommissioning the instrument, contact Thermo Fisher.
Guidelines
Warning Do not install the system in any hazardous area other than those
approved. Refer to the equipment tag for the specific approvals applicable
to the configuration of your instrument. ▲
Warning Do not apply power to the instrument in any hazardous area
unless the safety ground is properly wired inside the instrument and the
cover is properly installed. ▲
