Arizona MAX-5000XL user manual Environmental Conditions

HAZARDS FOR PERSONS OR EQUIPMENT POSED BY USING SPECIFIC SAMPLES: Flammables; explosives; substances that contain

flammables, explosives, solvents; and/or substances that release flammable or explosive gases or vapors during the drying process.

∙The user shall be liable and responsible for any damage that arises in connection with the MAX 5000XL and potentially harmful substances.

∙Substances containing toxic, caustic, or corrosive substances may be analyzed with the unit in an appropriate fume hood only. The fume hood must keep the work area below the lower toxic limit established by appropriate standards.

∙Substances that release caustic vapors such as acids should be analyzed in the smallest sample size possible to still achieve satisfactory results. If vapors condense on the MAX 5000XL housing parts, stop the testing, wipe the surface clean with a suitable neutralizer and place the unit in a fume hood capable of removing the vapors.

∙The user has the responsibility for carrying out appropriate decontamination if hazardous material is spilled on or inside the MAX 5000XL.

CLEANING the MAX 5000XL

∙Clean the MAX 5000XL according to the cleaning instructions only. Use of strong detergents and “oven cleaners” will damage the case and heater housing of the MAX 5000XL.

∙Before using any cleaning or decontamination method except those recommended by Arizona Instrument, check with AZI Customer Service at 800-528-7411 or 602-470-1414, to ensure that the proposed method will not damage the equipment.

∙The outside housing of the MAX 5000XL should

be cleaned with a mild household detergent such as Formula 409® and a soft, lint-free cloth. Paper towels should never be used, as they will scratch the instrument’s finish and the clear lens over the display. Since the MAX 5000XL has a built-in cleaning mode of operation, no

cleaning product should be necessary for the oven. If the 550O C self-cleaning cycle does not clean the oven, call AZI Customer Service at

800-528-7411 or 602-470-1414 for recommendations.

∙Every precaution has been taken to prevent contaminants from entering the unit. However, if liquids or powders do enter the case, call AZI Customer Service at 800-528-7411 or 602-470-1414 for recommendations.

The user shall be liable and responsible for any damage that arises in connection with this analyzer.
