impurities in used to determine the “purity” rating for a given
gas. if your supplier does not establish purity based on an
$halysis of appropriate chromatographic contaminants, @
purity rating of 9.998% may not be suitable for GC use. A
Quality supplier of gas and the regular use of fiers. will

antes de procederSafety Practices
General
‘The following safety practices are intended to
insure the safe operation ofthe equipment.
Electrical Hazards
1. Removal of some panels expose potentially
‘dangerous volages. Such panels wilbear awarn-
‘ing abe! noting the hazard. Disconnect th inst
‘ment from all power sources belore removing
Protective panels
2. When powor cord plugs must be changed to von-
{orm to on-site power receptacles, be sure fo ad-
here to color coding and polaty described in the
manual
3. Replace blown fuses with size and rating stpu-
lated on the fuse panel or holder, and in tho
‘manual where listed.
4. Replace or ropa faulty or frayed insulation on
ower cords
‘5. Check actual ne voltage to confirm itis the value
for which the instument ie wired. Be sure power
cords are plugged to corect voltage sources,
Compressed Gas Cylinders
1. Compressed gases should be stored and han-
dod strict in accordance with relevant safety
codes,
2, Fasten all cylinders securely to an immovable
“stucture or permanent wal,
8. Store or move cylinders only in avortcal position,
Dont move or ranspert cylinders wthrogulators
atached.
4, Store cyinders na well ventilated area away rom
heat or ignition sources,
5. Markalloyinders clearly so there can bono doubt
aso conten,
6. Use only approved regulators and tubing connec-
tions,
7. Connect cylinders to instrument only with lean
tubing whose pressure rating is signiicantly
Greater than highest outlet pressure from
regulator.
General Precautions
1, Perform periodic leak checks on supply lines and
‘pneumatic plumbing
2. Arrange gas ines so they cannot become kinked,
punctured, or otherwise damaged, and wil oti
fecfre with foot wae.
2, Store organic solvents in roproot, vented, cloar-
ly labeled cabinotsidenttying toxic andor arn
‘mablo material.
4, Do not allow flammable andlor toxic solvent was-
{ to accumulate. Follow a reguatod, approved
waste disposal program. Never ispose of such
products trough the municipal sewage eystem.
GC Safety Practices
Exhaust System
Fumes and heat emanating rom GC detectors minimal, Except when test
ing hazardous chemicals, no special exhaust ducing is raquitad Ina well
Vontilates room. i ducting is installed, observe tha folowing guidelines.
1. Use only fireproof ducting,
2 Install blower at duct out,
3. Locate duct intake far enough from the detector to avoid any vibration or
aiccurrnt effect on detector performance,
4. Check duet suction periodically
Radiation Safety (Radioactive Source Detectors)
1. Note and comply with al NOTES, CAUTIONS and WARNINGS appoa-
Ing inthe Ni ECD manual section,
2, Perform scheduled test for removable radioactive contamination as
proscribed the above publication.
'3, NOTE: tis the responsibilty ofthe usor tobe eure thatleaktost schedules
and procedures are complied with.
Burn Hazard
Hoatod zones of gas chromatograph can remain ht ora considerable ime
ater the instrument power has been tumed of. To prevent painful bums
Fesuiting from contact wih hot suraces (injector nus, columns, et) be sure
‘that all heated areas have cooled to room temperature, or wear adequate
hhand protecton
LC Safety Practices
High Pressure Hazard
‘The pump employed in Varian Liquid Chromatographs can gonerate high
‘rassures. Liquid at such high pressures ls potentially hazardous. Thore le
ays the danger associated witha high veloly stream of volaieandior
toxic quid inthe event of alne rupture, a ale device opening, or avalve
‘2ccidentaly opened under pressure.
‘While preonal hazard from such incidents is minimized bythe fow volumes
involved, complete protection i afforded by wearing face protection (safely
‘lasses, face shields, etc.) when injecting samples or performing routine
maintenance.
Reservoirs which operato under 80-60 pl of nitrogen should only be of the
shatlorproof type provided with the inskument. The reservoir eniosure
shouldbe kept closed when reservoirs are under pressure.
Read and achere to all NOTES, CAUTIONS, and WARNINGS appesting in
‘ho manual.
Ultraviolet Radiation
gui chromatographic detectors employing @ UV light source must have
‘adequate shaldng to prevent any radiation expesura to personnel.

HIGH VOLTAGES PRESENT
Dangerous voltages are exposed in the following steps; the
instrument must be disconnected from all power.
2. To change the switch setting, disconnect the instrument from all
power, remove the detector cover, instrument top cover, and high
voltage cover.
3. Locate S1 on the Mother PCB (see Figure 3). It is shipped in the
correct position for your voltage range. If there is a problem
‘in the low position, consult Varian Service to see if a power
line conditioner is required.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to change an instrument configured for the
110/120V range to the 220/240V range, or vice versa, or the
warranty will be voided.
4.2 Power Switch
The instrument power switch is located at the top left rear of the GC.
Up is ON and down is OFF. See Figure 2 for location.
4.3. Fuse Requirements.
Fuses for the 3000 Series GC's are located on the instrument back
panel, the Mother PC Board, and on individual pc boards within the
instrument. Refer to Table i for fuse ratings, locations, and circuits
affected.
5 BATTERY BACK-UP AND POWER UP
Battery back-up allows 3000 Series GC's to protect instrument memory
when (1) the instrument is shut down to change boards or make other
hardware changes or (2) to protect methods during temporary power
outages. If the battery switch is turned OFF, instrument methods will
be lost.
STANDARD GC'S are shipped with the battery switch in the ON (up)
position (Figure 4a). If the GC is to be disconnected from power for
Jong periods of time or if it is to be stored, the battery switch
should be moved to the OFF position (Figure 4a).
GC'S WITH THE IN-BOARD DATA HANDLING OPTION (IBDH) are shipped with the
battery switch in the OFF (down) position (Figure 4b). When installing
