Electrical Hazards
Disconnect the instrument from all power sources before removing
protective panels to avoid exposure to potentially dangerous voltages.
Panels or covers which are retained by screws on the detector may be
opened ONLY by Varian-trained, Varian-qualified, or Varian-approved
Customer Service Representatives. Consult the manuals or product
labels supplied with your PC to determine which parts are operator-
accessible.
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.
Good grounding/earthing is essential to avoid a potentially serious electric
shock hazard. Ensure that there is an integral ground connection between
the metal base of the detector and the 3 pin earth-grounded receptacle.
Consult the manuals or product labels supplied with your PC for the
relevant grounding requirements.
Replace blown fuses with fuses of the size and rating shown 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.
Avoid using power supplies from a source that may be subject to
electrical or RF interface from other services (for example, large electrical
motors, elevators and welders).
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.
