MAINTENANCE AND CALIBRATION 

 

 

WARNING: 

ATTEMPTING TO REPAIR, MODIFY, OR IN ANY WAY TAMPERING WITH THE 
ULTRAVOLT HV RACK

® 

POWER SUPPLY WILL VOID THE WARRANTY AND 

CAN CREATE A DANGEROUS CONDITION WHICH CAN RESULT IN 
PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT OR OTHER PROPERTY 

 
MAINTENANCE 

The 

UltraVolt HV Rack

 system is designed for years of reliable operation. Under normal operating conditions, 

it should not require any maintenance except for occasional external cleaning. If any question should arise, 
contact UltraVolt’s Customer Service Department to speak with an Applications Engineer. 

 

ROUTINE CLEANING 

All ventilation openings – top, bottom, sides, and rear panel – should be checked periodically and kept free of 
dust and other obstructions. A vacuum may be used to clean these vents when the unit is powered off. Do not 
use compressed air to clear the vents.   
 
The front panel may be cleaned periodically with a lint-free cloth and mild isopropyl alcohol solution, when the 
unit is powered off. 

 
CALIBRATION

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Under normal operating conditions, the 

UltraVolt HV Rack

 

power supply should not require calibration. 

However, it can be returned to the factory for complete electrical and mechanical inspection. Also, if required, 
an NIST certificate can be issued for traceability. Contact UltraVolt’s Customer Service Department for 
additional information.
