Precautions for your safety
However, if you know about them in advance, you
can prevent most of these accidents.
For that reason, this instruction manual defines
information on matters to be particularly noteworthy
in terms of safety according to their risk, and
indicate them with an alert mark and a signal word.
Please follow these instructions.
1. Warning signal words
This unit is not explosion-proof structured.
When a flammable sample or organic solvent is
used, handle it with care so that the liquid may not
be spilled over.
As hydrogen gas is used, please install and use
the equipment in a fume hood.
This product is used with its part being heated at
high temperature for its function and
characteristics.
A glass component used may get broken, if
mishandled, potentially leading to an unexpected
injury or accident.
We investigate enough possible hazards during the operation, however, it is very difficult
for us to find every hazardous occasion. Therefore this manual cannot describe all
hazardous operations.
However, if you carry out the handling method described in this manual, you can operate
and work more safely. Be sure to pay close attention to the handling of this product so
that accidents and product failures will not occur.

The attached position is shown below.
Be careful to use the unit referring warning messages.
* When the warning label is worn and hardly show the message, change it with a new one.
Please order us a new label.
Explosion
Do not use this unit
to dry any explosive
materials such as
organic solvent.

Electrical leakage
breaker
It detects an excess
current of electric leakage
and turns off to shut down
the power.
Excess current.
Or electric leakage occurred due
to insulation deterioration etc. of
electric parts.
Immediately stop operation and contact the
company from which you purchased the unit or the
nearby service center.
Over temperature
protector
It detects over heating of
heater, and shuts down
the power.
Heater temperature is too high
because of low volume of drying
air
• Increase dry air volume.
• Clean the inlet filter or replace it.
If the above method does not cure the problem,
immediately stop the operation and contact the
company from which you purchased it or the
nearby service center.

protection
Thermal relay
It detects an excess
current of blower and
shuts down the power for

5-1-6 Attaching silicone tubing
1) After raising the lever, pull up the tube retainer
immediately above and remove it from the
sample delivery pump main.
Use a proper tubing.
Use the tubing diameter and material
designated by our company for the tubing
used to deliver a solution.
The use of non-designated tubing may cause
degradation of performance or trouble.
Caution
Do not press the pressure sensor too
much or do not pour water on it.
Applying unreasonable force to the pressure

5-1-7 Connecting power cord
1) Connect the power cord of the unit to the breaker of
switch board.
* The unit must be connected to AC200V, single
phase (or three phase), and needs 30A or more
as the capacity of breaker.
If you use three phase source, connect R phase
(red) to S phase (white) or T phase (black) to
phase (white).
In either case, securely connect the ground wire
of power cord to the ground terminal via type D
grounding work.
