1.5 General safety instructions on installing and operating the cabinets
With regard to operating the cabinets and to the installation location, please observe the local national
safety regulations that apply for laboratories or in a room similar to a laboratory.
Datacolor is only responsible for the safety features of the cabinet provided skilled electricians or qualified
personnel authorized by Datacolor perform all maintenance and repair, and if components relating to
cabinet safety are replaced in the event of failure with original spare parts.
When the cabinet is installed, operated, cleaned, decontaminated, adjusted or set up incorrectly, there is
a risk of malfunction which could cause harm to human beings and material damage to the equipment
and samples.
Therefore the cabinet should only be installed, operated, cleaned, decontaminated, adjusted and set up
by suitably qualified persons.
•Persons qualified to install, operate, clean, and decontaminate the cabinet only include laboratory
personnel who have carefully read the operating manual and are especially trained for this purpose.
Observe the national regulations on minimum age of laboratory personnel.
•Persons qualified to repair and adjust the cabinet only include electricians and service engineers au-
thorized by the Datacolor, who have undergone appropriate electrical training and who have carefully
read the cabinet service and operating manuals.
To operate the cabinet, use only original Datacolor accessories or accessories from third-party suppliers
authorized by Datacolor. The user is responsible for any risk caused by using unauthorized accessories.
CAUTION
Danger of overheating.
Damage to the cabinet.
∅Do NOT install the cabinet in unventilated recesses.
Ensure sufficient ventilation for dispersal of the heat.
Do not operate the cabinets in hazardous locations.
DANGER
Explosion hazard.
Danger of death.
∅Do NOT operate the cabinet in potentially explosive areas.
∅KEEP explosive dust or air-solvent mixtures AWAY from the cabinet.
The cabinets do not dispose of any measures of explosion protection.
DANGER
Explosion hazard.
Danger of death.
∅Do NOT introduce any substance into the cabinet which is combustible or explosive at
working temperature.
∅NO explosive dust or air-solvent mixture in the inner chamber.
Any solvent contained in the charging material must not be explosive or inflammable. I.e., irrespective of
the solvent concentration in the steam room, NO explosive mixture with air must form. The temperature
inside the chamber must lie below the flash point or below the sublimation point of the charging material.
Familiarize yourself with the physical and chemical properties of the charging material, as well as the
contained moisture constituent and its behavior with the addition of heat energy and humidity.
