WARNING
Fire hazard
Access to the supply fuses is through the removal of an external cover. Removal of the covers
should be referred to qualified Personnel. For continued protection against fire, fuses must only be
replaced with those of the correct rating and type.
WARNING
Toxic hazards
Some of the components used in this equipment may include resins and other materials which give
off toxic fumes if incinerated. Take appropriate precautions, therefore, in the disposal of these
items.
WARNING
Beryllia
Beryllia (beryllium oxide) is used in the construction of some of the components in this equipment.
This material, when in the form of fine dust or vapour and inhaled into the lungs, can cause a
respiratory disease. In its solid form, as used here, it can be handled quite safely although it is
prudent to avoid handling conditions which promote dust formation by surface abrasion.
Because of this hazard, you are advised to be very careful in removing and disposing of these
components. Do not put them in the general industrial or domestic waste or despatch them by post.
They should be separately and securely packed and clearly identified to show the nature of the
hazard and then disposed of in a safe manner by an authorized toxic waste contractor.
WARNING
Beryllium copper
Some mechanical components within this instrument are manufactured from beryllium copper.
This is an alloy with a beryllium content of approximately 5%. It represents no risk in normal use.
The material should not be machined, welded or subjected to any process where heat is involved.
It must be disposed of as “special waste”.
It must NOT be disposed of by incineration.
Static sensitive components
This equipment contains static sensitive components which may be damaged by handling - refer to
the Maintenance Manual for handling precautions.
Voltage restraint
Excessive voltages can damage the instrument. Ensure that applied signal voltages are within the
limits marked on the front panel.
