Operation and Maintenance Manual 3
Warnings
English
WARNING
This symbol on the instrument indicates that the user should refer to the man-
ual for operating instructions.
WARNING
Any operation requiring access to the inside of the equipment, could result in
injury. To avoid potentially dangerous shock, disconnect from power supply
before opening the equipment.
WARNING
For continued protection against fire hazard replace fuse with same type and
rating.
WARNING
This symbol indicates that to comply with European Union Directive
2002/96/EC for waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), the Ana-
lyzer should be disposed of separately from standard waste.
WARNING
This is a safety Class I product. It must be wired to a mains supply with a protective
earthing ground incorporated into the power cord. Any interruption of the protective
conductor, inside or outside the equipment, is likely to make the instrument dangerous.
Intentional interruption is prohibited.
WARNING
If this instrument is used in a manner not specified by Agilent, the protection provided by
the instrument may be impaired.
WARNING
High voltage is present in the instrument when the power cord is connected, even if the
main power switch is in the standby mode. To avoid potentially dangerous shock, discon-
nect the power cord before removing the side panels.
4 Operation and Maintenance Manual
WARNING
Ozone is a hazardous gas and a strong oxidant. Exposure to ozone should be minimized
by using the instrument in a well-ventilated area and by venting the exhaust of the vac-
uum pump to a fume hood. The ozone generator should be turned off when the instrument
is not in use.
WARNING
Burner temperature Is extremely hot. Do not touch. Allow to cool before servicing.
WARNING
Hydrogen is an extremely flammable gas. Use appropriate care when handling. Inspect
all connections with a suitable leak detector.
WARNING
Oxygen rich environments can promote combustion and even result in spontaneous com-
bustion under conditions of high pressure and exposure to contamination. Use only oxy-
gen rated components and ensure that components are oxygen clean prior to use with
pure oxygen.
WARNING
Exceeding the gas inlet pressure of 25 psig (1.72 bar) may damage the hydrogen and oxi-
dant sensors or burst their connective tubing.

Introduction
This manual will guide you in the installation, operation, and troubleshooting
of the Agilent 355 Sulfur Chemiluminescence Detector (SCD) and the Agilent
255 Nitrogen Chemiluminescence Detector (NCD). This manual is intended for
use with the Agilent 355 SCD or 255 NCD with the Dual Plasma Burner and
Controller.
This operation and service manual has some important conventions, such as
the use of boxed warnings. This information is deliberately set out from the
text for emphasis and should be followed to assure operator safety and proper
instrumental operation.
If you are installing the 355 SCD or 255 NCD yourself, follow the installation
procedures described in the following sections. If your instrument is already
installed, turn to the Operation section to begin.
