Instruction Manual - 330004 - Rev. 02
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this product to rain or
moisture.
Objects and Liquid Entry − Never push objects of any kind into this product
through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that
could result in a fire or electric shock. Be careful not to spill liquid of any kind onto
the products.
Do not substitute parts or modify instrument.
Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute
parts or perform any unauthorized modification to the product. Return the product
to a service facility designated by Brooks Automation, Inc. for service and repair to
ensure that safety features are maintained. Do not use this product if it has
unauthorized modifications.
Replacement Parts − When replacement parts are required, be certain to use the
replacement parts that are specified by Brooks Automation, Inc. or that have the
same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions may result in
fire, electric shock or other hazards.
Safety Check − Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the
Qualified Service Person to perform safety checks to determine that the product is
in safe operating order.
Finite Lifetime − After ten years of normal use or even non−use, the electrical
insulation in this product may become less effective at preventing electrical shock.
Under certain environmental conditions which are beyond the manufacturer’s
control, some insulation material may deteriorate sooner. Therefore, periodically
inspect all electrical insulation for cracks, crazing, or other signs of deterioration.
Do not use if the electrical insulation has become unsafe.
Be aware that when high voltage is present in any vacuum system, a life threatening
electrical shock hazard may exist unless all exposed conductors are maintained at
earth ground.
This hazard is not peculiar to this product.
Be aware that an electrical discharge through a gas may couple dangerous high
voltage directly to an ungrounded conductor almost as effectively as would a copper
wire connection. A person may be seriously injured or even killed by merely
touching an exposed ungrounded conductor at high potential.
This hazard is not unique to this product.
