Safety considerations
Some reagents and samples used with Waters instruments and devices can pose chemical,
biological, or radiological hazards (or any combination thereof). You must know the potentially
hazardous effects of all substances you work with. Always follow Good Laboratory Practice
(GLP), and consult your organization’s standard operating procedures as well as your local
requirements for safety.
Safety hazard symbol notice
Documentation needs to be consulted in all cases where the symbol is used to find out the
nature of the potential hazard and any actions which have to be taken.

Considerations specific to the 30-cm Column Heater and 30-cm
Column Heater/Cooler
Warning: To avoid electric shock, observe these precautions:
• Use SVT-type power cords in the United States and HAR-type power cords, or
better, in Europe. For requirements elsewhere, contact your local Waters distributor.
• Inspect the power cords for damage, and replace them if necessary.
• Power-off and unplug each module before performing any maintenance operation
on it.
• Connect each module to a common ground.
Warning: To avoid electric shock, do not remove protective panels from system
modules. The components within are not user-serviceable.
Warning: To prevent burn injuries, set the column temperature to Off, and then allow
the column compartment and its components to cool for 60 minutes before touching
them. Monitor the column compartment's internal temperature to ensure that all
components are cool.
Warning: To avoid combustion, do not use the column compartment with solvents
whose autoignition temperatures are below 150 ºC.
FCC radiation emissions notice
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance, could
void the user's authority to operate the equipment. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
Electrical power safety notice
Do not position the device so that it is difficult to disconnect the power cord.
Equipment misuse notice
If equipment is used in a manner not specified by its manufacturer, protections against personal
injury inherent in the equipment’s design can be rendered ineffective.

Safety advisories
Consult the "Safety advisories" appendix in this publication for a comprehensive list of warning
advisories and notices.
Operating the device
When operating the device, follow standard quality-control (QC) procedures and the guidelines
presented in this section.
Applicable symbols
The following symbols can be present on the device, system, or packaging.
Symbol Definition
Manufacturer
Date of manufacture

Audience and purpose
This guide is intended for use by individuals who operate and maintain the 30-cm Column Heater
(30-cm CH) or 30-cm Column Heater/Cooler (30-cm CHC).
Intended use of the 30-cm CH and 30-cm CHC
Waters designed the 30-cm CH and 30-cm CHC for use in liquid chromatography (LC)
applications. The 30-cm CH and 30-cm CHC are not intended for use with in vitro diagnostic
applications.
Calibrating
To calibrate LC systems, adopt acceptable calibration methods using at least five standards to
generate a standard curve. The concentration range for standards must include the entire range
of QC samples, typical specimens, and atypical specimens.
When calibrating mass spectrometers, consult the calibration section of the operator’s guide for
the instrument you are calibrating. In cases where an overview and maintenance guide, not an
operator’s guide, accompanies the instrument, consult the instrument’s online Help system for
calibration instructions.
Quality control
Routinely run three QC samples that represent subnormal, normal, and above-normal levels of a
compound. If sample trays are the same or very similar, vary the location of the QC samples in
the trays. Ensure that QC sample results fall within an acceptable range, and evaluate precision
from day to day and run to run. Data collected when QC samples are out of range might not be
valid. Do not report these data until you are certain that the instrument performs satisfactorily.

Canada spectrum management emissions notice
This class A digital product apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-001.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe A est conforme à la norme NMB-001.
ISM classification: ISM group 1 class B
This classification has been assigned in accordance with CISPR 11 Industrial Scientific and
Medical (ISM) instrument requirements.
Group 1 products apply to intentionally generated and/or used conductively coupled radio-
frequency energy that is necessary for the internal functioning of the equipment.
Class B products are suitable for use in both commercial and residential locations and can be
directly connected to a low voltage, power-supply network.
