If it becomes necessary to work on the unit with the power applied, keep one hand
free at all times (behind you).
Be sure that there is no power applied to a circuit when making continuity or
resistance checks.
Use the correct tools (i.e. screwdriver, alignment tool, etc.) for the job.
Do not use metal tools around the connectors when there is power to the unit, as
they may cause arcing.
Turn off power before connecting alligator clips to any circuit.
Do not take anything for granted when working with inexperienced help. Check
every operation before they perform it.
The operation of this unit creates large amounts of heated process fluid. This fluid
is likely to be heated to temperatures above the threshold of safety for human
contact. Please be advised of this and take the necessary precautions whenever
connecting or disconnecting any plumbing from the system. If you are ever in
doubt, turn the unit off, and wait an appropriate amount of time before performing
any operations or service involving the plumbing.
The process fluid within this system may also become pressurized from outside
flow sources. It is the user’s responsibility to verify that pressure within the system
has been relieved externally; in order to prevent exposure to hazardous fluid such
heated de-ionized water, or heated chemicals and/or acids.
This unit has several safety interlocks integrated within the system. However, it is
the user’s responsibility to verify that incoming power has been disconnected from
a remote source prior to opening or servicing the unit. This is advised to prevent
user exposure to high voltage and current, and reduce the risk of electric shock.
The function of this unit is to heat process fluid for use in ultra-pure operations.
Therefore during normal operation the unit will accumulate heat within the
plumbing and the heater compartment. It is our recommendation that the unit is
allowed a sufficient amount of time to cool before any maintenance or inspections
are made to the unit in order to prevent user exposure to heated surfaces or air.
The processes in which this unit is intended involve heated fluids. Whenever
heated fluids are involved, certain precautions must be taken in order to avoid user
injury. This is especially important since it is most likely that this unit will be used
with aggressive fluids that can further harm or injure an individual, such as de-
ionized water and process acids. User exposure to these types of materials can
result in burning, scalding, and in some cases deep tissue damage. To avoid injury
it is the user’s responsibility to take the appropriate precautions as outlined above,
and in all cases dealing with heated or aggressive materials, to use the appropriate
safety equipment, such as but not limited to safety goggles and glasses, and
chemically resistant gloves and garments.
This heater is not intended for use with any liquid other than deionized (D.I.) water.
