High Voltage and Electrical Shock Warnings
Potentially fatal voltages are present in the compressor unit. Before beginning any work on the
compressor unit, the compressor needs to be switched off then isolated from the power supply.
Connect or disconnect the flex lines joining the compressor and its load (cryopump, cold head, etc.)
only after the compressor and its load are switched off and separated from the power source.
Otherwise, electrical shock hazards may exist, potentially causing damage to the compressor unit, its
load, or the operator.
Always provide proper grounding to the compressor unit and its load. All electrical power connection
and disconnection of the unit should be done by a qualified electrician.
High voltage is present within the compressor unit and can cause severe injury from electrical shock.
Permit only qualified electrical technicians to open the compressor enclosure to perform electrical
troubleshooting.
Disconnect the compressor from its power source before carrying out any troubleshooting or
maintenance activities.
