Manufactured

The Electrothermal Temperature Controller (ETC) is manufactured by:

Anatech BV

Nieuwstadterweg 3

6136 KN Sittard (the Netherlands)

Verifying Safe State

The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of

operation, maintenance, and service of this instrument.

To ensure continued safety of the instrument after maintenance or service

procedures, verify the instrument is returned to a safe state for the user. This

includes running performance checks to verify the instruments safety systems are

functioning correctly. Check the general condition of the instrument during

operation for wear or signs of corrosion that are likely to inhibit function or safety.

Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this

manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the

instrument. Agilent Technologies assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to

comply with these requirements.

Safety Practices and Hazards

Agilent Electrothermal Temperature Controller ETC 60 User’s Guide 8

General

Operation of the Agilent ETC 60 electrothermal temperature controller and an

atomic absorption (AA) spectrometer involves the use of an electrically heated

quartz cell, high temperatures, compressed gases, and hazardous materials,

including corrosive fluids. Unskilled, improper, or careless use of the equipment can

create fire hazards or other hazards which can cause death, serious injury to

personnel, or severe damage to equipment and property.

Appropriate safety practices have been included in this operation manual and your

spectrometer operation manual, to help you operate the equipment safely. Read all

safety practices thoroughly before attempting to operate your system.

If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the

protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Hazard Warnings

In addition to the hazard warnings specified in your spectrometer operation manual,

specific hazard warnings have been included in this operation manual. These

warnings state the hazard, describe how to avoid it and specify the possible

consequences of not following the instructions. Read all warnings carefully and

observe them at all times.

Electrical Hazards

The ETC 60 contains electrical circuits, devices and components operating at

dangerous voltages. Contact with these circuits, devices and components can

cause death, serious injury or painful electric shock. Covers which are retained by

screws on the ETC 60 may be opened only by an Agilent field service engineer.

The ETC 60 MUST be switched off at the power switch, and the mains cable

disconnected from the mains supply BEFORE any attempt is made to remove or

replace the cell in the workhead, or the cables connecting the workhead to the

Temperature Control Module.

Safety Practices and Hazards

Agilent Electrothermal Temperature Controller ETC 60 User’s Guide 9

Use of the wrong supply voltage, connection of the accessory to an incorrectly

wired supply outlet, or lack of proper electrical grounding can create a fire hazard or

a shock hazard which can cause death, serious injury, or serious damage to

equipment.

Always use a three-wire outlet with ground connection which is adequately rated for

the load.

The installation must comply with local, state, and national safety regulations.

Ensure that the voltage selector is correctly set for the specific mains power supply

outlet that the ETC 60 will be connected to. You must do this before connecting the

accessory.

A blown fuse should be replaced with one of the size and rating stipulated in the

text adjacent to the fuse holder. Always ensure the accessory is turned off and

disconnected from the mains supply before attempting any replacement.

Chemical Hazards

Operation of an Agilent AA spectrometer may involve the use of materials that are

corrosive or otherwise hazardous. Careless, improper or unskilled use of these

materials can cause serious personal injury or an environmental hazard.

Always ensure that laboratory safety practices governing the use, handling and

disposal of hazardous materials are strictly observed. These safety practices

should include wearing the appropriate safety clothing.

Always ensure that the sample introduction system is thoroughly flushed with

distilled water and that the contents of the drain or waste container are known and

disposed of if necessary before touching any part.
