Prior to starting up the device, the operator of the novAA 800 must verify the
proper condition of the device including the condition of its safety equipment. This
applies in particular after each modification or extension of the device or its repair.
The device must only be operated if all protective equipment (e.g. covers and
doors) are in place, properly installed and fully operational. The sound condition of
the protection and safety equipment must be checked regularly. Any defects must
be corrected as soon as they occur. Protective and safety equipment must never be
removed, modified or switched off during operation.
During operation, the operator must have free access to all connections and the
power switch on the right side of the device as well as to the power strip.
The ventilation equipment on the device must be in good working condition. Cov-

the device. When placing the device and system components observe a minimum
clearance of 150 mm to walls and neighboring installations.
Prevent any liquids from entering the inside of the instrument. The liquids might
get into contact with electronic components and cause a short circuit.
Work on the electrical components of the novAA 800 may only be performed by a
qualified electrical technician according to applicable electro-technical regulations. Le-
thal voltages may occur in the device! Contact with live components may cause death,
serious injury or painful electrical shock.
Observe the following notes:
The mains plug must be connected to a proper CEE power socket to ensure that the
device meets protection class I (ground connector). The device may only be con-
nected to power sources whose nominal voltage is the same as that on the type
