This chapter describes all health and safety considerations relating to the Oxford Instruments
NanoScience
Mercury
iPS magnet power supply.
The following safety precautions must be observed during the operation, service and repair of
this instrument.
1.1 Warnings
Before you attempt to install or operate this equipment for the first time, please make sure that
you are aware of the precautions that you must take to ensure your own safety.
1.1.1 Protective and functional ground
The equipment must be connected to an electrical ground. The ground wire (green/yellow) in
the equipment power cable must be connected to the electrical ground system of the
installation.
Only use extension cords that have a protective ground conductor.
Do not disconnect the protective ground connection inside or outside the equipment.
Do not connect external electrical circuits to the equipment if its protective ground is
disconnected.
There is a ground pillar on the rear panel, identified by a
symbol. This should be used to
connect the cryostat chassis (or the experiment rig chassis if not a cryostat) to ensure the
cryostat (or alternative chassis) is grounded.
