FISCHERSCOPE®X-RAY 7

Intended Use Safety Information

1 Safety Information

When used as intended, the FISCHERSCOPE®X-RAY is safe in its operation. When you

use the instrument as intended and observe the safety information, the instrument does

not pose any risks.

Please read and follow these instructions and observe the safety information. Please also

note the generally applicable regulations concerning safety and accident prevention.

1.1 Intended Use

The FISCHERSCOPE X-RAY is used for coating thicknesses measurements and for

materials analysis. The measurement method conforms to DIN 50 987, ASTM B568 and

EN ISO 3497.

The specifications of the instrument and of the accessories are described in the data sheet

in the Attachment to this Operators Manual.

Only accessories recommended and approved by FISCHER may be connected to this

instrument.

Modifications, repairs, maintenance and service work on the FISCHERSCOPE X-RAY and

its accessories must be performed by authorized FISCHER service personnel only.

There is no other intended use. The risk for damage from unintended use lies solely with

the user.

1.2 Safety of the Electrical Equipment

The FISCHERSCOPE X-RAY is designed as a Protection Class I instrument according to

the IEC 348 / VDE 0411 standard. The instrument contains components under line voltage

and under high voltage. Observe the directives and standards IEC 348, VDE 0411.

1.3 Maintenance and Repair

Repair, maintenance and service work on the FISCHERSCOPE X-RAY and its accesso-

ries must be performed by authorized FISCHER service personnel only.

Exceptions are described in this manual, as replacing the line fuse.

8FISCHERSCOPE®X-RAY

Safety Information X-Radiation Safety

1.4 X-Radiation Safety

The design as a fully protected instrument and the functions of several integrated protec-

tive devices protects the operating personnel and the surroundings fully from x-radiation.

Two devices that work independent of each other ensure that x-radiation can be generated

only when the measurement chamber is closed. For the safe operation of the instrument

please also note the intended use; ref. Chap. 1.1. on Page 7.

Observe the laws and regulations of the country where the FISCHERSCOPE X-RAY

is operated. The responsible government authority must possibly be informed or

consulted about the commissioning of the FISCHERSCOPE X-RAY.

In addition, we would like to point out the following:

Operate the instrument according to the instructions in this manual and the online help.

Do not attempt any structural alterations on the instrument.

Maintenance and service work on the instrument may be performed only by FISCHER

or by companies authorized by FISCHER for this purpose.

1.4.1 Repeat Inspection

FISCHER recommends to check the instrument by an expert in intervals of no longer than

five years. Observe the laws and regulations of the country where the instrument is oper-

ated.

If you prefer to perform the repeat inspection yourself, contact the responsible authority

for the expert responsible for your area.

During the repeat inspection, the expert must be provided with the Certificate of Approval.

Store the Certificate of Approval in a manner that it will be available at the time of the

inspection.

The responsible authority must be notified of the result of the repeat inspection without

being requested to do so.

1.4.2 Safety Devices

The instrument is equipped with a connector where the safety devices must be plugged.

Safety devices are absolutely necessary to protect the operating personnel and the

surroundings fully from x-radiation. For example, a security device with sensors can be

mounted at the door of the vacuum chamber. The sensors are connected to the

X-RAY 5000. Thus, the x-radiation is switched off, when the door is opened.

FISCHERSCOPE®X-RAY 9

Requirements for the Operating Personnel Safety Information

No Alterations to the Instrument!

Only specialized service personnel, as a rule the Service of FISCHER, is authorized to

carry out alterations to the measuring instrument.

1.5 Requirements for the Operating Personnel

1.5.1 Operators with Introductory Training

Operators with introductory training can work with the instrument efficiently and safely.

For this purpose, the instrument is prepared such that all settings for the measuring appli-

cation are made by trained specialists. Then, the software’s scope of functions is

restricted such that only the functions required for carrying out the measuring application

remain accessible (Short menu). This provides operators with introductory training with a

clear workspace and the instrument is protected from interventions and changes in the

software.

Operators with introductory training should have the following knowledge:

Fundamental knowledge about the use of Microsoft®Windows®

Knowledge of the safety information described in this manual

Operators with introductory training must be instructed in the proper use by a person that

has the requisite qualifications.

1.5.2 Trained Specialists

Trained specialists can utilize the full bandwidth of the technical capabilities of the

FISCHERSCOPE X-RAY.

In addition, trained specialists have the following knowledge:

Knowledge of the physical principle of x-ray fluorescence and of the functional prin-

ciple of the FISCHERSCOPE X-RAY instrument

The aforementioned physics knowledge is important for defining the measuring application

and for other settings. Only the most important facts are explained in this

Operators Manual. This does not replace detailed training.

The practice-oriented seminars of FISCHER are a worthwhile opportunity for obtaining the

required knowledge. Several times a year, user seminars that provide insights into the

DANGER

X-radiation and high voltage

Carrying out alterations to the instrument can lead to death or serious inju-

ries and legal consequences.

Do not carry out any alterations to the instrument.

10 FISCHERSCOPE®X-RAY

Safety Information Requirements for the Operating Personnel

physical fundamentals of x-ray fluorescence and prepare users for their work with the

measuring instruments are conducted at various locations.

Seminar dates can be found on our website www.helmut-fischer.com.
