SAFETY SUMMARY
Observe these general safety precautions during all phases of instrument operation, service, and
repair. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual
violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended instrument use. Lake Shore
Cryotronics, Inc. assumes no liability for Customer failure to comply with these requirements.
The Model 460 protects the operator and surrounding area from electric shock or burn, mechanical
hazards, excessive temperature, and spread of fire from the instrument. Environmental conditions
outside of the conditions below may pose a hazard to the operator and surrounding area.
• Temperature: 5 C° to 40 °C.
• Maximum relative humidity: 80% for temperature up to 31 °C decreasing linearly to 50% at 40 °C.
• Power supply voltage fluctuations not to exceed ±10% of the nominal voltage.
Ground The Instrument
To minimize shock hazard, connect the instrument chassis and cabinet to an electrical ground. The
instrument is equipped with a three-conductor AC power cable. Plug the power cable into an approved
three-contact electrical outlet or use a three-contact adapter with the grounding wire (green) firmly
connected to an electrical ground (safety ground) at the power outlet. The power jack and mating plug
of the power cable meet Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) safety standards.
Do Not Operate In An Explosive Atmosphere
Do not operate the instrument or probes in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation of
any electrical instrument in such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.
Keep Away From Live Circuits
Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers. Refer component replacement and internal
adjustments to qualified maintenance personnel. Do not replace components with power cable
connected. To avoid injuries, always disconnect power and discharge circuits before touching them.
Do Not Substitute Parts Or Modify Instrument
Do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification to the instrument. Return the
instrument to an authorized Lake Shore Cryotronics, Inc. representative for service and repair to ensure
that safety features are maintained.
