Product Safety
Principle The Freedom EVO is designed and built in accordance with the present state-of-
2.3 Product Safety
the-art technology and the recognized technical safety regulations.
Nevertheless, risks to users, property, and the environment can arise when the
instrument is used carelessly or improperly.
Appropriate warnings in the Operating Manual of the Freedom EVO and in this
Service Manual serve to make the user alert to these residual dangers.
2.3.1 Instrument-Related Hazards and Safety Measures
Pay attention to the following safety notices:
WARNING
Potentially lethal voltage inside the instrument.
Equipment is to be connected to a grounded power source using an approved
power cord with grounding conductor.
Whenever possible, disconnect the instrument from the mains before carrying
out maintenance or repair work.
If work must be carried out with the instrument running, all covers and other
parts protecting from electricity must remain in place.
Though the safety concept assumes that the safety panel is always closed during
normal operation, it is necessary to have access to the elements in the working
area behind the safety panel for setup, maintenance and troubleshooting
purposes.
WARNING
Pointed tips and other sharp-edged elements, which might cause injuries when
you reach into the working area with the safety panel open.
Always be aware of the mechanical hazards.
Wear laboratory apparel, rubber gloves, safety goggles, etc. as appropriate.
WARNING
Freely accessible parts, which can move automatically.
Injuries (piercing and crushing) are possible when you reach into the working area
of the arms or optional equipment during setup and adjustment procedures, or
when tests are run.
Do not reach into the working area when parts of the instrument are moving.
Make sure that no other person activates the drives when the safety covers
are not in place.

2 - Safety
Product Safety
ATTENTION
Unsafe operating condition and wrong measuring results in the process, if the
system is leaking.
If liquid is dripping from the tips or other parts of the liquid system, the
Freedom EVO must not be operated any more.
Operation may only be resumed if the necessary maintenance or repair work has
been performed and the proper condition of the system has been verified.
ATTENTION
Electromagnetic RF waves from a cellular phone may affect the function of the
liquid detection.
Faulty detection of the liquid surface may be the result, which causes the system
to produce incorrect measurements.
Keep a distance of at least 2 m from the instrument when using a cellular phone.
ATTENTION
Damage to the electronic boards due to electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Always wear a wrist strap when handling the boards.
2.3.2 Other Hazards and Safety Measures
Pay attention to the following safety notices:
WARNING
Chemical, biological and radioactive hazards can be associated with the
substances used or the samples processed with the Freedom EVO.
The same applies to waste disposal.
Always be aware of possible hazards associated with these substances.
Use appropriate protective clothing, safety goggles and gloves.
WARNING
Caustic substances can cause burns and eye injury.
Avoid exposure to caustic substances.
Always be aware of possible hazards associated with these substances.

2.3.3 Safety Elements
Safety Panels The space around the worktable is protected with safety panels. Whereas the
front safety panel can be opened, the other safety panels are permanently
installed on the Freedom EVO.
Door Locks During operation the front safety panel is locked by means of two door locks.
The safety concept of the Freedom EVO assumes that the front safety panel is
always closed when the instrument is running.
Modifications
on the Safety
Panels
Which are
Safety
Elements?
Some options for the Freedom EVO require modifications on the safety panels.
These modifications must be performed by an authorized Tecan FSE (field service
engineer) when the option is installed.
WARNING
If the options which require modifications on the Freedom EVO are installed
improperly, the safety concept may be impaired.
Always make sure that the options are installed in compliance with the instructions
given by the manufacturer.
When installing options, strictly follow the instructions given in the manuals of the
options and in this Service Manual.

If such elements were removed, e.g. for maintenance work, operation may only be
resumed when all protective and safety devices have been completely installed
and checked.

2.4 Decontamination
Decontamination
2 - Safety
When to
Decontaminate
Decontamina-
tion Method
Apart from regular decontamination, the user must thoroughly decontaminate the
instrument according to standard laboratory regulations in the following cases:
Before any maintenance or service work is performed on the instrument
In case of accidents (e.g. crash, spilt substances, etc.)
Before a Tecan field service engineer (FSE) performs any in-site work on the
instrument
Before the instrument or parts of it are returned to Tecan (e.g. for repair)
Prior to storage of the instrument
Prior to disposal of the instrument or parts of it
Generally before the instrument or parts of it leave the user’s site
The decontamination method must be adapted to the respective application and
the substances associated with it. The user takes the full responsibility for the
appropriate decontamination of the entire equipment.
WARNING
Biological or chemical hazard and/or radioactive radiation.
Contamination hazard due to parts of the instrument which are not completely
decontaminated.
Mind that not only the parts having direct contact with chemicals or biological
material must be treated, but also the tubing system as well as the whole
upstream equipment.
Decontamina-
tion Form
Before a Tecan FSE carries out any work on the instrument, or before the
instrument is returned to Tecan, the owner of the instrument must confirm in
writing that the decontamination has been performed properly and in accordance
with good laboratory practice guidelines. For this, the owner must enclose a
declaration (Use the Instrument Decontamination Form or in case of repairs,
properly fill out the Repair Order). The corresponding forms are filed in the
Maintenance and Service Logbook or can be provided by Tecan.
Note: Tecan reserves the right to refuse any instrument or a part of it, or will
charge an extra fee, if the Instrument Decontamination Form or the Repair Order
is not filled out and duly signed.
