WARNING
HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES
The analyzer may contain hazardous substances. Always handle the analyzer assemblies and components with extreme caution.
Wear personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling the equipment.
Gas handling components within the analyzer contain particulate matter residue from the sample gases. Over the life of the
analyzer, the concentration of particulate matter will become enriched within the gas handling components. When performing
repairs and maintenance on the analyzer:
•Handle used gas handling components with extreme caution.
•Avoid direct skin contact with used gas handling components.
•Do not smoke, drink, or eat in the work area.
•Wear goggles or eye shields.
•Wear a suitable face mask to protect against inhalation of particulate matter.
•Do not wet fingers, eyes, or any exposed skin.
•Pack used gas handling components for disposal in sealed packaging and label them Contaminated.
•Dispose of contaminated items as hazardous material in accordance with applicable local, national, or international health
and safety regulations and pollution regulations.
Failure to observe this warning could cause a potentially hazardous situation, which if not avoided, may cause death, personal
injury, and/or damage to persons and/or property.
WARNING
OPTICAL RADIATION EXPOSURE HAZARD
In accordance with IEC 60079-0: 2011 Clause 30.
The Rosemount™ CT5100(Ex) contains lasers. Opening the Rosemount™ CT5100(Ex) and attempting to perform adjustments and
procedures other than those specified in this manual may result in hazardous optical radiation exposure.
All lasers used within the Rosemount™ CT5100(Ex) are Class 1. The combined laser powers are sufficiently low at the first
accessible aperture that the unprotected eye will not be damaged. This class is eye safe under all operating conditions.
Failure to follow the correct procedures may cause damage to the eye. Do not look at the lasers with any kind of magnifier or
optical measuring device.
There are three types of laser that may be included in the Rosemount™ CT5100(Ex) : Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCLs), Interband
Cascade Lasers (ICLs), and diode lasers. The lasers within the Rosemount™ CT5100(Ex) are Class 1. The characteristics of the lasers
contained within the Rosemount™ CT5100(Ex) are given in the table below.
Parameter QCL ICL Diode Comment
Operation mode Pulsed Pulsed Pulsed

Duty cycle < 5% < 5% < 25%
The combined power of the QCL, ICL, and diode lasers at the first accessible aperture is < 9.62 mW.
The Rosemount™ CT5100(Ex) has warning labels in appropriate positions according to USA 21 CFR 1040.10. The location of laser
safety labels on the Rosemount™ CT5100(Ex) is specified in Safety and system labels and annotation.
The use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
