Safety Precautions
WARNINGS
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES
The Product generates high voltage and relies on the provision of a protective earth (ground)
conductor to prevent user accessible components developing a hazardous potential in the event
of an insulation failure. This protective earth is provided by the external power supply and only
an approved power supply should be used with the product. Additional protection is provided
by special NanoMechanism interface connectors and cable assembles. To maintain the integrity
of the operator safety systems only approved NanoMechanisms and cables should be used with
the product. The product should not be used if there are any signs of damage or if the equipment
is believed to be faulty. It should be returned to the manufacturer for investigation and repair.
DO NOT remove the equipment’s protective covers. There are no user serviceable parts within
the equipment and removal of the cover will expose the user to potential high voltage hazards
and will invalidate the Warranty.
MUST read the manual before using the controller to understand how to correctly and safely
operate the product. Incorrect use of the equipment may lead to personal injury or damage to
property. Always turn the equipment off and remove the mains plug when not in use. Always
use the equipment as specified in this manual.
CAUTIONS
ELECTROSTATIC SENSITIVE DEVICES (ESD)
The unit contains components that are susceptible to damage through electrostatic discharge
at the NanoMechanism and interface connectors. Removal of protective connector covers and
connection of cables must be performed in a static safe environment using approved static
safety handling procedures.
ENVIRONMENT
The unit is designed for use indoors in a dry environmentally controlled manufacturing facility,
office or laboratory. The temperature and relative humidity should be kept within those specified
in Table 2-1. Significant dust or acoustic/mechanical vibration may cause faulty operation or
damage to components so should be avoided. Maintain adequate cooling of the controller by not
restricting the air flow to and from the fan cooling vents. For prolonged periods of operation it is
advisable to keep the environmental humidity to a minimum.
