XT H 225 X-ray System XTM0522-B1 21
• When adjusting the position of the FID, avoid trapping fingers in the gap between
release knob and mounting bracket.
The following warnings are identified as mandatory actions which must
be followed to prevent a hazard:
• The cabinet is very heavy and should only be moved or lifted using correctly-rated
equipment and only by authorised Nikon Metrology personnel. Any movement of the
cabinet requires it to undergo a radiation check.
• The X-ray source is heavy and requires two people to lift.
• If for any reason the manipulator becomes jammed, the operator must remove power
to the X-ray system before attempting to unjam the manipulator. Contact Nikon
Metrology for further advice.
• The system feet should only be adjusted by authorised Nikon Metrology personnel.
Incorrect adjustment may lead to the feet becoming detached from the system
resulting in a serious crushing hazard.
The following warnings are identified as prohibited actions that must
not be performed:
• Never attempt to enter the cabinet, samples should be loaded from outside, using
suitable personal protective equipment as necessary. Inspect-X has a sample loading
position preset to assist.
• Never modify any part of the system.
• Do not drill or screw into the cabinet.
• Never operate the system without the radiation protection covers in place.
• Do not interfere with the manipulator mechanism when the X-ray system is powered.
3.7 Chemical
The following warnings are identified as hazards:
• Consumables supplied by Nikon Metrology, either with the machine or on an after-
sale basis, are not dangerous when used in accordance with reasonable standards of
industrial practice and in accordance with instructions provided on or with the goods.
• The backing vacuum pump in this system uses mineral oil. For a brief period following
switch on, and in the event of a malfunction, oil mist may be produced. Ensure all
suitable precautions are taken when handling and refer to the relevant Material Safety
Data Sheet.
• The X-ray cabinet uses lead for shielding. The lead is in solid form and all exposed
surfaces are covered or painted so an operator should not come into direct contact.
However, ensure all suitable precautions are taken and refer to the relevant Material
Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
• Some X-ray source windows are made from beryllium. Care should be taken to avoid
scratching or abrading the window when removing as this may release toxic dust.
• Coolant oil is not classified as flammable but will burn.
