5.2 Actions in the case of a broken cell
WARNING
Cells can contain dangerous substances. If the contents are released,
follow the safety instructions of the package insert. If necessary, take
corresponding protective measures (protective goggles, protective
gloves etc.).
CAUTION
Do not turn the photometer around to poor out the liquid!
When doing so, the liquid could come into contact with electronic
components and damage the photometer.
The photometer has a drain device through which the contents of a broken
cell can drain off without causing any damage.
Proceeding after
a cell has broken
–Filter test: Instrument defective – Please contact the service
department.
–Wavelength calibration:
– Foreign particle in the cell shaft
– Lens smudged
– Instrument defective
– Remove foreign object
– Clean the lens. If this happens
repeatedly, check the operating
conditions (see Section 8)
– Please contact the service
department.
Cause Remedy
1Switch off the photometer and disconnect it from the power supply.
2Let the liquid drain off into a suitable container and dispose of it properly
according to the instructions of the reagent package.
3Carefully remove all broken glass, e.g. with tweezers.

EN
16 ba77195y01 09/2017
English XD 7500
If, after recommissioning, an error occurs during the wavelength calibration,
the detector lens is probably smudged. In this case, clean the detector lens.
6Returns
All instruments that are shipped back to the manufacturer must be free
of measuring medium remnants and other hazardous materials.
Remnants of the measuring medium on the housing may endanger
humans or the environment.
CAUTION
Keep the original packing including the inner packing to protect the
instrument against hard shocks if it has to be transported.
The original packing is also required for the proper return of the
instrument if it has to be repaired.
Note that damage caused by improper transport voids all warranty
claims.
7 Disposal
Surrender empty batteries at the appropriate collection points.
Do not dispose of the instrument in the trash bin. To dispose of the
instrument, please ship it directly to us (with sufficient postage). We will
dispose of the instrument in a proper and environmentally friendly manner.
4Carefully clean the cell shaft using a moist, lint-free cloth. If there are
persistent coatings, use isopropanol for a short time. Especially clean the
bottom parts of the lateral surfaces of the rectangular cell shaft where the
light barriers for the automatic cell recognition are located.
5Let the cell shaft dry.
After recommissioning, carry out the photometer monitoring for
all measurements.
