Safety Considerations
Application
suitability and
external materials
Equipment classified for hazardous locations may not be suitable for your
particular location. The analyzers are limited in their gas group and
temperature specification. The certification documentation supplied with
these instruments must be checked to ensure suitability.
As with all equipment for use in hazardous or classified areas, your
installation and maintenance procedures must be in compliance with local
working and installation practices for hazardous equipment. These systems
must only be installed by personnel who are aware of the local
requirements for installation of electrical equipment within hazardous
locations.
Some units are designed to be controlled primarily with pressurized, clean,
dry nitrogen or air. During normal use, the atmosphere inside enclosures
using pressurized nitrogen becomes oxygen deficient. To protect operators,
service and maintenance personnel from this and other hazards, the
enclosure is closed and sealed. Consult the Control of Substances
Hazardous to Health (COSHH) data sheet or Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) that accompanied the pressurized nitrogen for further guidance.
The following materials may be used in the external construction.
•stainless steel
•brass
•aluminum
•polycarbonate
•silicone rubber
•pvc
•mild(carbon) steel
•nylon
•polyurethane
•acrylic
•materials listed in other documentation that accompanies your
instrument.

Safety Considerations
If substances that adversely affect these materials are present in the
surrounding environment, consult Thermo Fisher Scientific for further
guidance.
Regulatory
compliance
Antaris EX-Z1 and Antaris EX-Z2 analyzers are designed for North
American or European (depending on the model ordered) use with
220 VAC electrical service, in hazardous areas where the hazardous area is
non-mining, above ground, and the hazard is caused by flammable gases or
vapors. These models are suitable for hose-washing.
Antaris EX-IP analyzers were designed as a hose-washable, solid-state-air-
cooled, near-IR instrument for use with USA and European 110 VAC or
220 VAC electrical services, as follows. No hazardous location protection is
provided.

Safety Considerations
The following Cautions and Warnings provide additional information
about fire safety and preventing burn hazards.
Warning The NIR source bulb may be very hot. It stays hot for up to 3 minutes
after you turn off your instrument. To avoid being burned or starting a
fire, handle the source assembly only by the exterior handle. The User’s
Guide shows the location of the NIR source inside the instrument. 
Note Touching the HeNe laser poses no burn hazard. If you must replace the
laser assembly, you can begin the procedure immediately after turning off
the instrument power. 
Danger Never use a flammable gas to purge, pressurize or cool the instrument.
Heat from the source or internal electrical components could ignite a
flammable gas. All gases used to purge, pressurize or cool the instrument
must be free of moisture, oil and other reactive or infrared-absorbing
materials. Use only clean, dry air or clean, dry nitrogen in the enclosure.
Other gases, even inert gases such as argon (Ar), can damage the
instrument. 
Lifting or moving These instruments are heavy. For specific weights, see the model specific
specifications later in this manual. To avoid injury when lifting or moving
the instrument, heed the precautions that follow:
Danger For enclosures installed on a wheeled cart, use caution when moving the
cart.
Push only from the handle. Do not attempt to move the cart up or down
inclines greater than 10 degrees. 
Thermo Fisher Scientific Antaris EX Safety, Installation, and Site Preparation Guide 9

Safety Considerations
Danger These systems cannot be lifted safely by fewer than four people, unless a
mechanical lifting device is employed. When lifting or moving an
instrument, get additional personnel to help you. Be sure to lift from each
side of the enclosure, not the front and back.
Use a mechanical lifting apparatus and all 4 lifting eyes, as shown in the
schedule drawings and schematics. 
Danger This equipment is heavy and can crush if improperly secured. Always use
all 4 lift points when moving this equipment with overhead lift
assistance. 
Overhead lift assistance is recommended for this equipment. Four eye-style

The enclosure may be washed or hosed down.
Warning Avoid shock hazard. Do not allow cleaning solutions or liquids to run into
the enclosure. 
Warning Avoid static potential. Never use solvents. 
Notice Do not attempt to clean or even touch surfaces inside the enclosure. The
front-surfaced mirrors and other optical components are easily damaged.
Dust will not harm the NIR signal, but fingerprints and scratches can
degrade spectral performance or permanently damage the mirrors and other
optical components. 
Opening
the enclosure
These instruments are designed to be operated with the enclosure closed
and latched. Information about the hazards you may encounter when the
enclosure is open is included in documentation that accompanied the
enclosure and on labels on the enclosure itself. Be sure to read and heed
this information. Refer servicing inside the enclosure to trained personnel
only.
Warning Always disconnect power before opening. Hazardous voltage inside. 
Warning Avoid explosion and fire hazard. Open the enclosure only when the
instrument environment is non-explosive. 
Also, be aware that the atmosphere inside the enclosure may be oxygen
deficient. If the enclosure is purged or pressurized with inert gas, there may
be an asphyxiation hazard. Allow a few minutes for air to enter the
enclosure before working inside the enclosure.
Warning Atmosphere inside the enclosure may be oxygen deficient. Enclosures
pressurized or purged with inert gas may be an asphyxiation hazard. 
