Observe the following safety precautions during operation of the Dionex Inuvion IC System.
General precautions:
- Periodically check all liquid lines for leaks. Clean up spills appropriately and use DI (deionized) water to rinse dried reagents off system components.
- Make sure that gas and liquid lines do not become kinked, punctured, or otherwise damaged.
- Do not allow liquid waste to accumulate. Follow a regulated, approved waste disposal program. Never dispose of wastes containing organic solvents through the municipal sewage system.
Compressed gas cylinders:
- Periodically check all pressure regulators to verify that pressure settings are within the recommended limits.
- Compressed gas cylinders are initially pressurized at 14 to 15 MPa (2,200 to 2,500 psi). Use a regulator to reduce the delivered air pressure to 690 kPa (100 psi) or less.
- Avoid connecting the inert gas supply line to two or more instruments unless a suitable regulator supplies the Dionex Inuvion IC System at 100 psi (690 kPa) or less.
- Fasten all cylinders securely to an immovable structure.
- Do not store or move a cylinder unless the safety cap is in place.
- Store or move cylinders in a vertical position only. Do not move cylinders with regulators attached.
- Store cylinders in a well-ventilated area, away from heat or ignition sources.
- Clearly label the cylinder with the contents.
- Use only approved regulators and tubing connections of the appropriate material and purity.
Electrical precaution:
CAUTION
The power supply cord is used as the main disconnect device. Verify that the socket-outlet is near the Dionex Inuvion IC System and is easily accessible.
