Important Safety Warnings
Before moving on, there are several important safety notices that you should always keep in mind when using the 5975 Series Mass Selective Detector.
Many internal parts of the MSD carry dangerous voltages
If the MSD is connected to a power source, even if the power switch is off, potentially dangerous voltages exist on:
•The wiring between the MSD power cord and the AC power supply, the AC power supply itself, and the wiring from the AC power supply to the power switch.
| With the power switch on, potentially dangerous voltages also exist on: | |
| • All electronics boards in the instrument. | |
| • The internal wires and cables connected to these boards. | |
| • The wires for any heater. | |
| All these parts are shielded by covers. With the covers in place, it should be difficult | |
WA R N I N G | ||
to accidentally make contact with dangerous voltages. Unless specifically | ||
| ||
| instructed to, never remove a cover unless the detector, inlet, or oven are turned off. | |
|
| |
| If the power cord insulation is frayed or worn, the cord must be replaced. Contact | |
WA R N I N G | ||
your Agilent service representative. | ||

| Connecting the MSD to power sources that are not equipped with protective | |
| earth contacts creates a shock hazard for the operator and can damage the | |
| instrument. | |
| Interrupting the protective conductor inside or outside the MSD or | |
| disconnecting the protective earth terminal creates a shock hazard for the | |
| operator and can damage the instrument. | |
| Make sure the power cords supplied with the MSD are appropriate for your | |
| country and site before using them. Maintain easy access to the power cords | |
| so they can be disconnected during maintenance. |
