Safety and Equipment Damage Alerts
Thermo Fisher Scientific Model 5030iSHARP Instruction Manual iii
Alert Description
If the equipment is operated in a manner not specified by
the manufacturer, the protection provided by the
equipment may be impaired. ▲
The service procedures in this manual are restricted to
qualified service personnel only. ▲
The detector assembly should be replaced by a qualified
technician knowledgeable in dealing with radiation
precautions. By removing the detector assembly, the C-14
radioactive source is partially exposed. Safety glasses
must be worn during this replacement procedure. The
amount of C-14 meets the USNRC regulations as an
exempt amount of radioactive source <100 Ci. ▲
The detector pre-amp assembly has a power backup built
in. “DO NOT OPEN” caution handeling. Backup power
will dissipate after 8 hours. ▲
CAUTION The detector window is very fragile. Handle with great
care and do not wipe or touch the window. Furthermore,
do not touch the solder cable connection (electrode) with
your bare fingers. The oils from your skin can damage the
detector. ▲
Safety glasses must be worn while replacing the detector
assembly. ▲
If the LCD panel breaks, do not let the liquid crystal
contact your skin or clothes. If the liquid crystal contacts
your skin or clothes, wash it off immediately using soap
and water. ▲
Equipment Damage Do not attempt to lift the analyzer by the cover or other
external fittings. ▲
Some internal components can be damaged by small
amounts of static electricity. A properly grounded
antistatic wrist strap must be worn while handling any
internal component. ▲
Disconnect the serial cable before changing the RS-232
and RS-485 selection to prevent damage to any
equipment currently connected to the analyzer. ▲
Do not use solvents or other cleaning products to clean
the outside case. ▲
Do not remove the LCD panel or frame from the LCD
module. ▲
The LCD polarizing plate is very fragile, handle it
carefully. ▲
Do not wipe the LCD polarizing plate with a dry cloth, as
it may easily scratch the plate. ▲
Do not use alcohol, acetone, MEK or other ketone based
or aromatic solvent to clean the LCD module, but rather
