Electrical Hazards 8
The Apparatus 3 / 7 has been designed and tested so that when used properly
you have an accurate, fast, flexible, and safe instrument.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the
protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Operation of an Apparatus 3 / 7 involves the use of solid dosage forms and
aqueous liquids. Unskilled, improper, or careless use of this instrument can
create shock hazards, fire hazards, or other hazards which can cause death,
serious injury to personnel, or severe damage to equipment and property.
Information on safety practices is provided with your instrument and operation
manuals. Before using your instrument or accessories, you must thoroughly read
these safety practices.
Observe all relevant safety practices at all times.

Electrical Hazards
The Apparatus 3 / 7 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.
Panels or covers that are retained by fasteners which require the use of a tool for
removal may be opened only by Agilent-trained, Agilent-qualified, or
Agilent-authorized service engineers. Consult the manuals or product labels
supplied with the 8020 to determine which parts are operator-accessible.
Application of the wrong supply voltage, connection of the instrument to an
incorrectly wired supply outlet, or lack of proper electrical grounding can create a
fire hazard or a potentially serious shock hazard and could seriously damage the
instrument and any attached ancillary 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 federal safety
regulations.
Do not connect the instrument to the main power supply until you have made
sure that the operating voltage is correctly set for the main power supply in the
specific outlet in your laboratory to which the equipment will be connected.
