Soxtec™ 2050 Automatic System
11 Safety Information (GB)
11.1 Intended Use
The Soxtec™ 2050 Automatic Extraction System
is designed for laboratory use analyzing parame-
ters as specified in FOSS Analytical AB's Appli-
cation Notes.
The equipment must not be used if this caution is
not followed.
Caution
The responsible body shall be made
aware that, if the equipment is used in
a manner not specified by the manu-
facturer, the protection provided by
the equipment may be impaired.
11.2 Safety Precautions
Please read these operating instructions carefully
and act accordingly.
For safety reasons people not familiar with these
operating instructions must not use the instru-
ment.
Warning
In order to find out the nature of the
potential hazard, please consult this
manual in all cases where this symbol
is used.
Warning
Careful handling of the solutions used
in an analysis is mandatory for labora-
tory safety. Refer to the appropriate
material safety data sheet for reagent
handling instructions. Wear eye pro-
tection at all times and handle hot
cups with care.
Warning
When handling flammable solvents
eliminate all sources of ignition. Dis-
charge of accumulated static electrici-
ty can generate sparks which will
ignite flammable vapours. Laboratory
coats and clothing made of certain
synthetic fibres are prone to generate
static electricity and should be avoid-
ed. Non-polar materials such as hydro-
carbon solvents accumulate static
charges readily, as they have high in-
sulating values and do not allow the
charge to leak away. The distance be-
tween the opening of the Teflon tube
used to empty the collection vessel
(maximum length 500 mm, I.D. 8 mm)
and the flask in which the solvent is
collected should therefore be as short
as possible. The preferred technique is
to lower the tube close to the bottom
of the flask and into the solvent to
equalize charges. Avoid free falling
solvent, as this may be dangerous.
Electrical Shock Hazard
This device is equipped with a ground-
ing/earthing type power plug for your
protection against electric shock haz-
ard and should only be plugged into a
properly grounded/earthed socket.
User Manual 1000 7414 / Rev. 4
Electrical Shock Hazard
Covers or panel(s) should be removed
by qualified personnel only.
Warning
Always use a damp cloth to clean the
surfaces of the extraction unit, espe-
cially the glass. Using a dry cloth in-
volves a risk of static electicity.
Warning
Any modification, alteration, rebuild-
ing or use of safety parts not author-
ized by FOSS Analytical AB voids the
warranty. FOSS Analytical AB cannot
be held liable for damage to property
or injury to persons occuring as a re-
sult of such actions.
Warning
Maintenance of the Extraction Unit is
restricted for the operator. Glass
parts, tubes and wiring may be
changed according to the instructions
in this manual, but all other necessary
servicing must be performed by au-
thorized personnel.
Warning
All connections with symbols on the
Extraction Unit must be connected to
those marked with the corresponding
symbols on the Control Unit or Drive
Unit.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect the incoming mains supply
before replacing fuses or removing
any cover.
Warning
Servicing and exchange of the Control
Unit and Drive Unit must be per-
formed by a service engineer author-
ized by FOSS Analytical.
Note: To maintain the limits for CE
approval, only CE approved instru-
ments may be connected.
Caution
The standard seals are heat sensitive.
It is therefore recommended to run
empty positions with solvent (approx.
20ml) in the cups, to prevent damage
to seals in the long term.
Warning
Danger. Diethyl ether must not be
used as solvent, due to the low con-
centrations needed for ignition.
