3 Safety
This section provides an overview of all the main safety aspects involved in ensuring
optimal personnel protection and safe and smooth operation.
Non-compliance with the action guidelines and safety instructions contained in this man-
ual may result in serious hazards.
Read the following safety instructions carefully before you start installation or working
with the device.
3.1 General
Before you start any repair inside of the device, be aware of high voltages 230/115V.
Even if these voltages are protected by security features to avoid any contact with your
body, it is still possible that you unintentionally touch these voltages with a tool, e.g.
screwdriver etc.
Therefore, always check if you really need the power supply to be switched on during
your work. Otherwise turn the device off and disconnect the power cable from the wall
socket to the device. Avoid that anyone can re-power the system without your notice.
3.2 Personnel Requirements
3.2.1 Qualifications
iNote: Only trained Bruker personnel are allowed to mount, retrofit, repair, adjust and dis-
mantle the unit!

Safety
3.2.2 Unauthorized Persons
3.3 Personal Protective Equipment
Personal protective equipment is used to protect the personnel from dangers which
could affect their safety or health while working.
The personnel must wear personal protective equipment while carrying out the different
operations at and with the device.
This equipment will be defined by the head of laboratory. Always comply with the instruc-
tions governing personal protective equipment posted in the work area.
3.4 Basic Dangers
The following section specifies residual risks which may result from using the device and
have been established by means of a risk assessment.
In order to minimize health hazards and avoid dangerous situations, follow the safety
instructions specified here as well as in the following chapters of this manual.
WARNING
Risk to life for unauthorized personnel due to hazards in the danger and
working zone!
Unauthorized personnel who do not meet the requirements described in this manual
will not be familiar with the dangers in the working zone. Therefore, unauthorized per-
sons face the risk of serious injury or death.
Unauthorized persons must be kept away from the danger and working zone.
If in doubt, address the persons in question and ask them to leave the danger and
working zone.
Cease work while unauthorized persons are in the danger and working zone.

Safety
3.4.1 General Workplace Dangers
Dirt and Scattered Objects
Working in Heights
Software Error
CAUTION
Danger of injury from tripping over dirt and scattered objects!
Dirt and scattered objects may cause people to slip or trip. A fall may result in inju-
ries.
Always keep the work area clean.
Remove objects which are no longer required from the work area and particularly
from the floor.
Indicate unavoidable hazards using marking tape.
CAUTION
Accident hazard from falling from ladder!
It is possible to fall from a ladder when it is used to reach the device on some mag-
nets.
Do not use a ladder.
Use an approved platform to reach the device on the magnet.
Wear non-slip shoes.
NOTICE
Material damage due to a software error!
Samples or device may be damaged due to a software error causing malfunction of
the control system. Users may also be shocked by abrupt malfunction or unexpected
system start.
Dummy samples must be used during installation and service.
Personnel should be alerted to unexpected malfunctions.

16 Z31980_00_03
Safety
Impacting Magnet
Genuine Samples
3.4.2 Dangers from Electric Power
Stored Charges
NOTICE
Material damage hazard due to impacting the magnet!
Impacting the magnet may result in a quench.
Mount the device carefully on the magnet.
Avoid banging the magnet during installation and operation, e.g. when replacing
the sample cassette.
NOTICE
Material damage due to the use of genuine samples during installation
and maintenance!
Using genuine samples during installation and maintenance may result in material
damage.
Use only dummy samples during installation and maintenance.
DANGER
Danger to life from stored charges!
Electric charges may be stored in electrical components even after the system has
been switched off and disconnected from the power supply. Contact with these com-
ponents may result in serious or fatal injury.
Before working on the specified components, ensure that they have been com-
pletely disconnected from the power supply. Allow 10 minutes to elapse in order to
ensure that the internal capacitors have been fully discharged.

Safety
Electric Current
Residual Electrostatic Potentials
Electrostatic Discharge
iElectrostatic discharge from friction may occur, resulting in an electric spark and loud
bang. Use ESD flooring and wear ESD shoes.
WARNING
Electrical hazard from electrical shock!
A life threatening shock may result when the housing is open during operation.
Disconnect the device from the electrical power supply before opening the device.
Use a voltmeter to verify that the device is not under power!
Be sure that the power supply cannot be reconnected without notice.
WARNING
Danger to life from residual electrostatic potentials!
Friction between material being conveyed may result in significant development of
electrostatic potential. Contact with parts immediately following the conveying opera-
tion may therefore be life-threatening.
Therefore, potential equalisation must be ensured before making contact with
parts, unless such equalisation is provided by the customer.

18 Z31980_00_03
Safety
3.4.3 Mechanical Dangers
Moving Parts
Falling Objects
CAUTION
Accident hazard from movement of mechanical parts!
The fingers or hand may be pinched due to movement of mechanical parts.
Shut off the device before accessing.
CAUTION
Accident and material damage hazard from falling objects!
Equipment may fall down during assembly, retrofitting, or dismantling. This may
result in personal injury or equipment damage.
If necessary, assemble/disassemble the device in multiple parts.
Use a platform with railings instead of a ladder to reach the assembly area.
Avoid working over the head. When this can not be avoided, wear a protective
hard hat.
Follow the mounting instructions in the installation manual.

Safety
3.4.4 Dangers from Gases Under Pressure
Pneumatics
Suffocation
WARNING
Danger of injury due to movements caused by stored pneumatic forces!
Pneumatically driven components may move unexpectedly due to stored residual
forces, causing serious injuries.
Work on the pneumatics system must only be carried out by trained pneumatics
technicians.
Before starting work on the pneumatics system, ensure that it has been com-
pletely depressurised. The pressure accumulator must be completely relieved.
WARNING
Accident hazard from asphyxiation!
A break in the pneumatic hose may result in the uncontrolled exit of nitrogen into the
laboratory.
An oxygen warning device should be present in the laboratory if the device is
operated with nitrogen.
Note that leakage from the main supply line cannot be stopped by the
device Lite!

Safety
3.4.5 Dangers from Radiation
Strong Magnetic Fields
iNote: The magnetic field of the device does not cause any personal injuries or property
damage. For further information see the manual of the magnet used.
WARNING
Danger to life from strong magnetic fields!
Strong magnetic fields may cause serious injuries or death and significant damage to
property.
Persons fitted with heart pacemakers must be kept away from the appliance. The
functionality of the heart pacemaker could be compromised.
Persons with metal implants must be kept away from the appliance. Implants may
heat up or be subject to magnetic attraction.
Ferromagnetic materials and electromagnets must be kept away from the mag-
netic source. Such materials could be subject to magnetic attraction and may fly
around the room, injuring or killing people. Minimum distance 3 meters.
Remove magnetic items (jewelry, watches, pens etc.) before carrying out mainte-
nance work.
Keep electronic equipment away from the magnetic source. Such equipment
could be damaged.
Keep storage media, credit cards etc. away from the magnetic source. Data could
be erased.
