Manufacture
The Electrothermal Temperature Controller (ETC) is manufactured
by:
Anatech BV
Nieuwstadterweg 3
6136 KN Sittard (the Netherlands)
General
Operation of the Agilent ETC 60 electrothermal temperature
controller and an atomic absorption (AA) spectrometer involves the
use of an electrically heated quartz cell, high temperatures,
compressed gases, and hazardous materials, including corrosive
fluids. Unskilled, improper, or careless use of the equipment can
Safety Practices and Hazards
8 Agilent Electrothermal Temperature Controller ETC 60 User’s Guide
create fire hazards or other hazards which can cause death, serious
injury to personnel, or severe damage to equipment and property.
Appropriate safety practices have been included in this operation
manual and your spectrometer operation manual, to help you
operate the equipment safely. Read all safety practices thoroughly
before attempting to operate your system.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired.
Hazard Warnings
In addition to the hazard warnings specified in your spectrometer
operation manual, specific hazard warnings have been included in
this operation manual. These warnings state the hazard, describe
how to avoid it and specify the possible consequences of not
following the instructions. Read all warnings carefully and observe
them at all times.
Electrical Hazards
The ETC 60 contains electrical circuits, devices and components
operating at dangerous voltages. Contact with these circuits, devices
and components can cause death, serious injury or painful electric
shock. Covers which are retained by screws on the ETC 60 may be
opened only by an Agilent field service engineer.
The ETC 60 MUST be switched off at the power switch, and the mains
cable disconnected from the mains supply BEFORE any attempt is
made to remove or replace the cell in the workhead, or the cables
connecting the workhead to the Temperature Control Module.
Use of the wrong supply voltage, connection of the accessory to an
incorrectly wired supply outlet, or lack of proper electrical grounding
can create a fire hazard or a shock hazard which can cause death,
serious injury, or serious damage to equipment.
Always use a three-wire outlet with ground connection which is
adequately rated for the load.
Safety Practices and Hazards
Agilent Electrothermal Temperature Controller ETC 60 User’s Guide 9
The installation must comply with local, state, and national safety
regulations.
Ensure that the voltage selector is correctly set for the specific mains
power supply outlet that the ETC 60 will be connected to. You must
do this before connecting the accessory.
A blown fuse should be replaced with one of the size and rating
stipulated in the text adjacent to the fuse holder. Always ensure the
accessory is turned off and disconnected from the mains supply
before attempting any replacement.
Chemical Hazards
Operation of an Agilent AA spectrometer may involve the use of
materials that are corrosive or otherwise hazardous. Careless,
improper or unskilled use of these materials can cause serious
personal injury or an environmental hazard.
Always ensure that laboratory safety practices governing the use,
handling and disposal of hazardous materials are strictly observed.
These safety practices should include wearing the appropriate safety
clothing.
Always ensure that the sample introduction system is thoroughly
flushed with distilled water and that the contents of the drain or
waste container are known and disposed of if necessary before
touching any part.
