v
This section gives instructions to promote safe and proper
operation of the Model 3022A Condensation Particle Counter (CPC),
samples of warnings found in this manual, and labels attached to
the instrument.
Laser Safety
The Model 3022A Condensation Particle Counter is a Class I laser-
based instrument. During normal operation, you will not be
exposed to laser radiation. However, you must take certain
precautions or you may expose yourself to hazardous radiation in
the form of intense, focused invisible light. Exposure to this light
can cause blindness.
Take these precautions:
# Do not remove any parts from the CPC unless you are
specifically told to do so in this manual.
# Do not remove the CPC housing while power is supplied to the
instrument.
WARNING
The use of controls, adjustments, or procedures other than those specified in
this manual may result in exposure to hazardous optical radiation.
Chemical Safety
The Model 3022A CPC uses n-butyl alcohol (butanol) as a working
fluid. Butanol is flammable. Butanol is also toxic if inhaled. Refer to
a Material Safety Data Sheet for butanol and take these
precautions:
# Use butanol only in a well-ventilated area.
# Butanol vapor is identified by its characteristically strong odor
and can easily be detected. If you smell butanol and develop a
headache, or feel faint or nauseous, leave the area at once.
Ventilate the area before returning.
