Notice Precautions - Hitachi PRIMAIDE 1440 Instruction Manual

SAFETY SUMMARY
Precautions on Use of Solvents
•
Fluororesin, PEEK, quartz and SUS316 materials are used for the wetted
parts of the instrument. Never use solvents that would corrode these
materials.
•
This instrument has internal parts made of materials that could be
corroded by strongly acidic solutions, strongly alkaline solutions or
organic solvents. Take care not to spill these corrosive solutions or
solvents into the inside of the instrument. If a corrosive solution or
solvent spills inside, wipe it off immediately.
•
For use of the liquid leak sensor, follow the instructions given below.
Turn on the leak sensor function when feeding a solvent.
(a)
The leak sensor function may remain inactive in cases where the amount
(b)
of leakage is too small. Furthermore, leakage of a highly volatile
solvent may not be detected. Be sure to check for liquid leakage
regularly to prevent a possible serious accident regardless of whether
the leak sensor is activated or not.
In routine inspection of the instrument, visually check for liquid leakage
(c)
before attempting measurements.
In periodic inspection of the instrument, check that the leak sensor works
(d)
normally.
•
Referring to the instruction manual accompanying each module unit of
the liquid chromatograph system, set up the automatic liquid feed stop
function (such as the pressure limiter function of the pump unit) to
prevent a possible trouble.
Disposal of Waste Solution
Be sure to collect waste solution and treat it for proper disposal in
accordance with the relevant laws and regulations regarding water
pollution control and sewage treatment.
Improper treatment of waste solution may result in environmental
pollution and could also lead to a penalty.
