Warnings, safety, and warranty information
Because current leakage is possible with any electrical appliance, all
controllers must be earthed (grounded), either by use of a grounding
stud on the exterior of the cabinet or connection to a properly earthed
circuit. Thermo Fisher Scientific recommends use of both a grounding
stud and earthed circuit.
Handling equipment
Much of the equipment created or supplied by Thermo Fisher Scientific
is significantly heavy. Never attempt to move a piece of equipment
without assistance. Refer to the equipment specifications (Chapter 4) to
find weight information before handling any equipment.
Control cabinets are made of metal (steel or aluminum) that is finished
before being sent to a customer site. However, extreme care should
be taken around edges or corners of control cabinets and other
equipment, as these surfaces can be very sharp.
Cords, cables, and tubing
Cords, cabling, and tubing should be placed out of the way of other
equipment, chairs, other obstacles. Cords or tubing that are subjected
to friction or repeated pinching from foot trac, chairs, etc. can
become a safety hazard.
Pumps
Pump tubing should be examined regularly and changed when the
tubing shows signs of wear. Failure to monitor the condition of the
tubing could result in leakage of possibly hazardous material, and
could also harm personnel and equipment.
Pump heads on some controller models have a safety switch that
prevents the pump from operating when the head is opened. If your
model is equipped with this feature, under no circumstances should
the safety switch be bypassed or disabled.
Keep hands away from the pump when running, such as when
“jogging” the pump to feed tubing through or when priming the tubing.
