Introduction; Safety Measures - Mettler Toledo GA42 Mode D'emploi

Introduction

The GA42 is a rugged and simple to operate dot matrix printer for METTLER TOLEDO titrators, pH meters, density meters, refractometers, and melting point
apparatus, as well as for METTLER TOLEDO balances with an RS232C interface (balance lines: AB, B, PB, CB, GB, PG-S). The printout on normal paper fulfills
the requirements of modern quality assurance systems (GLP, GMP, ISO 9000, etc.). These define, among other things, the principles and duties for the user
of measuring instruments or inspection, measuring and test equipment. The GA42 complies with the principle of traceability of measurements by precisely
documenting the origin of data, as well as calibration procedures. It fulfills the obligation to archive measurement results by its chemically resistant, thermally
stable and lightfast print. On connection to METTLER TOLEDO balances, the GA42 prints all data sent by the balance without restriction, that is not only weight
values and calibration procedures, but also the results of all applications, such as piece counting, built into the balance.

Safety measures

The GA42 has been tested for the connections and intended purposes documented in these Operating Instructions. However, this does not absolve you from the
responsibility of performing your own tests of the product supplied by us regarding its suitability for the methods and purposes you intend to use it for. You
should therefore observe the following safety measures.
– Never open the housing of the printer yourself! Have the printer serviced only by METTLER TOLEDO service!
Risk of electric shock
– Never work in an environment subject to explosion hazards! The housing of the instrument is not gas tight (explosion hazard due
to spark formation, corrosion caused by the ingress of gases).
Risk of explosion
– Wipe off splashed liquid immediately! The printer housing is not watertight.
– Follow the cleaning instructions on page 7!
