Severe electrical shock can result from operating the K6460 mass spectrometer
without the correct Agilent power cords in place.
Grounding circuit continuity is required for the safe operation of equipment.
Use properly configured and approved line cords for the voltage supply in your
facility. Refer to the
Site Prep Guide
for details.

Plug the K6460 mass spectrometer AC input power cords into properly grounded
receptacles with adequate current capacity. The branch circuit over-current
protection Circuit Breakers protecting the building receptacles must be rated no
more than 20A.

Be sure that the LC/MS main supply cable is routed in such a way as to minimize
the risk of a tripping hazard. Agilent Technologies recommends the use of
mechanical protection, such as a rubberized cable guard on the floor to cover and
protect the main supply cable.
WA R N I N G
Make sure that the point at which the detachable power cords are connected to the
K6460 mass spectrometer is clear from clutter and that it is accessible at all times.

Do not interrupt the protective conductor inside or outside the LC/MS system or
disconnect the protective earth terminal. Such actions create a shock hazard for the
operator and can damage the instrument.
