this section carefully BEFORE using the instru-

ment. The knowledge that you gain could save

you from injury or equipment damage as you use

High Voltage

Wherever high voltage is present on the

system, extreme care should always be

taken to avoid direct contact while the

instrument hardware is powered on. Call TA

Instruments Service for repairs. We do not

recommend that you make any attempt to

remove the panels on the instrument. If

you do attempt your own repairs, always

turn the power off before attempting to

remove any panels or PC boards and before

Safety

(continued)

Safe Handling of

Cryogenic Materials

Liquid nitrogen is used as a cooling agent in

many thermal analysis tests. Becuase of its

extremely low temperature (196°C), it will burn

the skin. You must use extreme care when

working with liquid nitrogen or other cryogenic

materials.

Liquid nitrogen can:

1. Cause serious skin burns.

2. Replace the air in the room you are in.

3. Generate very high pressures if trapped in

lines or containers.

Handling Liquid

Nitrogen

1. Wear goggles or a face shield, gloves large

enough to be removed easily, and a rubber

apron. For extra protection, wear high-

topped, sturdy shoes, and leave your pant

legs outside the shoe tops.

2. Transfer the liquid slowly to prevent thermal

shock to the container and excessive turbu-

lence to the liquid nitrogen, If liquid nitrogen

is poured into a container that is at room

temperature, the liquid nitrogen will boil

violently. Use extreme caution to prevent the

boiling liquid from contacting you.
