1 Precautions for Safe Operation of the STP Pump

1.1Usable Gases

Chlorine or fluorine system gases can be used in chemical specific pumps (STP- H600C/H1000C or other models). When you use gases including alkaline metals, but excluding Li, gases including Ga, Hg, In, or Sn, or HBr, contact Seiko Seiki.

WARNING

◇Check the properties of the gas to be used, referring to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) you obtain from the gas supplier. Follow any and all safety precautions and/or recommendations instructed by the gas supplier.

Take appropriate measures specified in the MSDS to prevent a problem if you use any corrosive, reactive, flammable or other system gas. Dilute the pumped gas with a monitored inert gas if necessary. Take appropriate measures so as not to cause a problem due to the pumped gas

CAUTION

◇NEVER use corrosive gases (chlorine, fluorine, or other system gases) in the STP-H600/STP-H1000 pump or other models without anti-corrosion treatment.

◇Introduce a dry N2 gas (purge gas) to protect the inside of the STP pump when using reactive or corrosive gases.

◇Cool the STP pump to within the operating pressure range to prevent the STP pump from overheating when sucking gases.

1.2Maintenance Precautions

Perform any maintenance of the STP pump and the STP control unit (battery replacement, fuse replacement), following Section 12, "Maintenance and Inspection".

CAUTION

◇Always turn OFF the primary power (switch the breaker "OFF") before performing any maintenance.

◇Disconnect internal battery connector before performing maintenance of the STP control unit.

◇NEVER touch any portions other than those designated when performing maintenance.

Careless touch may cause electric shock and/or a short-circuiting of the internal circuit, resulting in product damage or a problem.
