General Safety Precautions
Follow these safety practices to ensure safe equipment operation.
Perform periodic leak checks on all supply lines and pneumatic plumbing.
Do not allow gas lines to become kinked or punctured. Place lines away from foot traffic
and extreme heat or cold.
Store organic solvents in fireproof, vented and clearly labeled cabinets so they are easily
identified as toxic and/or flammable materials.
Do not accumulate waste solvents. Dispose of such materials through a regulated disposal
program and not through municipal sewage lines.
NOTICE:
This instrument has been tested per applicable requirements of EMC Directive as required to
carry the European Union CE Mark. As such, this equipment may be susceptible to
radiation/interference levels or frequencies which are not within the tested limits.
This instrument is designed for chromatographic analysis of appropriately prepared samples. It
must be operated using appropriate gases and/or solvents and within specified maximum
ranges for pressure, flows, and temperatures as described in this manual. If the equipment is
used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment
may be impaired.
It is the responsibility of the Customer to inform Varian Customer Support Representatives if
the instrument has been used for the analysis of hazardous biological, radioactive, or toxic
samples, prior to any instrument service being performed or when an instrument is being
returned to the Service Center for repair.
Electrical Hazards
Disconnect the instrument from all power sources before removing protective panels to avoid
exposure to potentially dangerous voltages.
When it is necessary to use a non-original power cord plug, make sure the replacement cord adheres
to the color coding and polarity described in the manual and all local building safety codes.
Replace blown fuses with fuses of the size and rating stipulated on the fuse panel or in the manual.
Replace faulty or frayed power cords immediately with the same type and rating.
Make sure that voltage sources and line voltage match the value for which the instrument is wired.
Compressed Gas Cylinders
Store and handle compressed gases carefully and in strict adherence to safety codes.
Secure cylinders to an immovable structure or wall.
Store and move cylinders in an upright, vertical position. Before transport, remove regulators
and install cylinder cap.
Store cylinders in a well-ventilated area away from heat, direct sunshine, freezing
temperatures, and ignition sources.
Mark cylinders clearly so there is no doubt as to their contents.
Use only approved regulators and connections.
Use only connector tubing that is chromatographically clean (Varian Part Number 03-918326-00)
and has a pressure rating significantly greater than the highest outlet pressure from the regulator.
