The analyzer crystal TLAP contains thallium, an extremely toxic heavy metal. This crystal is
water-soluble and can cause poisoning by skin contact.

applicable national, state, and local safety regulations.
Disposal of thallium-containing parts must comply with all applicable national, state, and
local regulations.
Warning: Gas Operation (P-10, P-5, Helium or Nitrogen)!
Systems with gas flow devices require external gas cylinders, if no in-house gas supply
system is available. The cylinders must be secured so that the cylinders are prevented
from falling over. Correct and secure installation of gas cylinders must be provided at all
times!
Follow applicable national, state, and local regulations for installation and operation of P-
10, P-5 (argon-methane gas mixture), helium, and nitrogen gas operation and gas cylin-
ders.
A separate vent to open air should be provided to let off the P-10 and P-5 gas.
Warning: Inadvertent Use of Wrong Gas Type!
It is the responsibility of the user to assure that the correct gas type is connected to the
instrument. Before opening the gas valves leading to the instrument, double check that the
desired gas is used. In particular exclude the inadvertent use of any explosive or corrosive
gas.
