Safety and operating precautions
Prevent fire and explosion by using an active venting system free of spark and ignition sources when using volatile solvents. Protect the ATR crystal from thermal and mechanical shock, avoid strong acids, bases, oxidizing agents, and chlorinated solvents. Do not block the spectrometer vents. Read the safety guide before operating.

Prevent fire and explosion. If using volatile solvents, provide an active venting system that is free of spark and other ignition sources and prevents flammable vapors from collecting in the atmosphere surrounding the instrument. |
To prolong the life of your system, follow these precautions:
- Protect the ATR crystal from thermal and mechanical shock
- Do not leave solvent on the ATR crystal for longer than 2 minutes
- Do not attempt to measure materials that are strong acids (pH less than 4), strong bases (pH greater than 11) or strong oxidizing agents
- Do not use chlorinated solvents or materials that may produce HCl or HF vapors with or near the system
- Do not block the vents at the back of the spectrometer
