Gamry Instruments does not recommend using the EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN in non-emergency situations.
Any data already collected in an experiment can be lost.
The button has a mechanical reset. It only resets when you turn it one-half turn clockwise. Reset will not turn
the cell switch back on. It will turn off the
EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN LED and repower the control amplifier.
Front-panel Connectors
There are three connectors on the front panel of the Reference 30k Booster.
Working Terminal
The Working terminal is a high-current connector that normally connects to the working electrode of an
electrochemical cell. It can handle currents up to 30 A.
This terminal is a USA 3/8” × #16 bolt. It is normally connected to the cell with a heavy-gauge, low-
inductance cable. The standard length cable is 90 cm long. Its Gamry P/N is 985-00122.
A Reference 3000/Reference 30k Booster system in EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN mode
disappears from the Windows Device Manger. It therefore will not appear as a device in Gamry’s
Framework software. When you reset the
EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN control, the device should reappear
in Windows after a few seconds.
Caution:
The EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN switch only prevents current flow from the cell
into or out of the Reference 30k Booster’s high-current cell leads. It does not protect against dangerous cell
conditions that do not involve current flow into the booster, such as short circuits within the cell. For this
reason, it does not replace safety precautions against explosion, fire, or chemical spills in the cell.
Reset the EMERGENCY
SHUTDOWN knob.
