Safety Messages
Safety Message
Be sure that you are completely familiar with the safe operation of each BEING series.This unit may be connected to other machinery, such as a vacuum pump. Improper use can cause serious or fatal
injury.
Installation and repair procedures require specialized skills with laboratory equipment and electricity. Any person that installs or repairs this unit must have these specialized skills to ensure that this
unit is safe to operate. Contact BEING Instrument, Inc. or their local authorized distributor for repairs or any questions you may have about this unit’s safe installation and operation.
The precaution statements are general guidelines for the safe use and operation of these instruments. It is not practical to list all unsafe conditions.Therefore, if you use a procedure that is not recom-
mended in this programming guide, you must determine if it is safe for the operator and all personnel in the proximity to the instrument. If there is any question of the safety of a procedure, please
contact BEING Instrument before starting or stopping the instrument.
This equipment contains high voltages. Electrical shock can cause serious or fatal injury. Only qualied personnel should attempt the startup procedure or troubleshoot this unit.

• Only qualied personnel familiar with the safe installation, operation, and maintenance of this unit should attempt startup or operating procedures.
• Always stop the instrument before making or removing any connections.
Symbols used in this Programming Guide
The following signal word panels, safety symbols, and non-safety symbols are used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards or information of importance. Obey all safety messages that
follow these symbols to avoid possible personal injury or death.
• Signal word panels
Signal word panels are a method for calling attention to a safety messages or property damage messages and designate a degree or level of hazard
seriousness. It consists of three elements: a safety alert symbol, a signal word and a contrasting rectangular background. The following signal word
panels are in accordance with ANSI Z535.4-2111 (R2017) and ISO 3864 standards.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
• Safety symbols
Safety symbols are graphic representations—of a hazard, a hazardous situation, a precaution to avoid a hazard, a result of not avoiding a hazard, or any
combination of these messages—intended to convey a message without the use of words.The following safety symbols are used in this quick start guide.
Mandatory Warning
