Important information
Important information
This Service Manual contains vital warning and safety information.
This instruments are intended to be used only for the specialized purpose described
in the instructions. The most important prerequisites for use, operation, and safety
are explained to ensure smooth operation. No warranty or liability claims will be
covered if the instrument is used in ways other than those described or if the
necessary prerequisites and safety measures are not observed.
The instrument may be operated only by persons whose qualifications enable them to
comply with the safety measures that are necessary during operation of the
instrument.
Suitable protective equipment, like laboratory clothing, protective gloves, protective
goggles and if necessary mouth protectors, must be worn to prevent direct contact
with biological working materials. In addition, a face mask is required if there is a
risk.
Adjustments and maintenance performed with removed covers and connected power
may be attempted only by a qualified technician who is aware of the associated
dangers.
Instrument repairs are to be performed only by the manufacturer or qualified service
personnel.
Only accessories and supplies either delivered by or approved by Roche are to be used
with the instrument. These items are manufactured especially for use with this
instrument and meet the highest quality requirements.
Operation of the instrument with solutions whose composition is not consistent with
that of the original solutions can negatively affect, above all, the long term
measurement accuracy. Deviations in the composition of the solutions can also
decrease the service life of the electrodes.
The quality control requirements must be completed at least once daily for safety
reasons. Because accurate measurement results depend not only on the proper
functioning of the instrument, but also on a number of other factors (such as
preanalytics), the results produced by the instrument should be examined by a
trained expert before subsequent decisions are reached that are based on the
measurement values.

ESD protection measures
ESD protection measures
ESD = Electrostatic Sensitive Device
Explanation of the phenomenon
The most frequent cause of electrostatic discharge is friction of various materials such
as plastic, synthetic fiber, hard rubber or paper.
It can also be caused by bending or applying pressure to a material.
Discharges that are dangerous to components occur when "charged" bodies or
components do not have a discharge connection (ground) to discharge the
electrostatic charge.
The discharges normally do not have a high capacity, but there are often voltage
differences in the range of several thousand volts. The discharges are perceived as
small shocks or visible sparks.
Examples:oShoes with rubber soles:
Friction is caused by walking. A person develops an electrical charge different
from the ground. A discharge occurs when an object (e.g. door handle) is
contacted.
oSynthetic fiber clothing:
Discharge is audible and is visible in darkness.
The dryer the air the greater the risk of electrical discharge caused by friction.
Eectrostatic charges are less likely to build up in humid air, particularly when saturated with water
vapor.
The probability of ESD phenomena is therefore particularly great in a northern hemisphere winter
in centrally heated rooms where the humidity is low.
Influence of electrostatic charges on components
If a person with an electrostatic charge touches a component, a discharge over a
connection of an IC or semiconductor element may occur. The resulting voltages may
damage the component.
Critical situations can occur while repairing or testing components if they are lying
on a more or less conductive surface (e.g. table top) and a person with an electrostatic
charge touches them. A discharge through a critical component connection can also
occur in this case.

91xx pH/Electrolyte Analyzers1 Safety information
ESD protection measures
Why is ESD protection so important today?
Formerly, current controlling semiconductors were mostly used (TTL, normal
transistors, etc.).
Today the principle of current logic is virtually the only technology in use in MOS
and CMOS components.
Currents generated by an electrostatic discharge (as much as several kV!) destroy the
sensitive component inputs or cause hidden damage. This damage is generally not
immediately detectable.
Another effect is that the clearances inside the ICs continuously become smaller. The
internal wires become thinner and thinner, the allowable maximum input voltages
become smaller and the effects of any discharges become more and more critical.
How can ESD protection be guaranteed?
A continuous discharge is required when working on an electronic assembly. Do this
as follows:
oUse ESD wrist bands (special wrist bands connected to a protective ground).
oRepairs and tests on assemblies must only be conducted on tables with ESD mats
connected to grounds or ESD wrist bands.
oAlways pick up components at the edge (e.g. like a photo).
oComponents must always be transported in ESD packages or appropriate storage
or shipping containers (use original packaging!).
oShoes with rubber soles or clothing of synthetic fibers must not be worn in
workshops where electronic components are repaired.
oUse a humidifier if necessary to maintain optimum humidity in the work area.
oDo not touch assemblies or components with the hand after testing.
oAlways transport and ship assemblies or components for repair in ESD protective
packaging only. This will prevent further damage that may result in
misinterpretation of the original cause of the fault.
The ESD mat consists of materials that have a very low, defined conductivity (1012 ohms).
The following materials prevent charges caused by friction from building up and protect the
component from damage.
o
ESD mats
o
ESD packages
o
Shipping containers
Conclusion
Of course, not all circuit boards and electronic assemblies require such careful
handling. An electrical board that only carries simple plug connectors does not
require ESD packaging.
In cases of doubt always use ESD packaging.
