INSTALLATION
The AMI Model 601 is designed to operate in an AMI power supply system consisting
of a unipolar power supply, a power supply programmer, and a superconducting
magnet. The following paragraphs document the procedures and interconnects
necessary to use the Model 601.
WARNING
: If the Model 601 is used in a manner not specified by AMI,
the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
A. Carefully remove the Model 601 from the shipping container and remove all packaging
material.
NOTE
: If there is any shipping damage, save all packaging material
and contact the shipping representative to a file a damage claim. Do not
return the instrument to AMI unless prior authorization has been
received.
B. If the Model 601 is to be mounted in a rack:
Install the Model 601 in a 19" wide instrument rack by securing the front panel to
the rail in each of the four corners with mounting hardware supplied by the cabinet
manufacturer.
WARNING
: The Model 601 must have sufficient cooling air to prevent
damage from overheating. The cooling air inlets on the front panel and
the cooling air outlets on the rear panel must not be obstructed.
C. Install the Model 601 in a magnet power supply system by completing the following
steps:
CAUTION:
Do not overtighten the nuts on the current lugs of the Model
601 (maximum torque is 50 in-lbs). Overtightening can result in
damage to the terminals.
1. Connect a power lead cable from the power supply positive (+) output lug to the
positive (+) lug on the rear of the Model 601. No other connections should be made
to the Model 601 positive (+) lug.
2. Connect a power lead cable to the negative (
) lug on the rear of the Model 601 to
the positive (+) current lead of the superconducting magnet. No other connections
should be made to the Model 601 negative (
) lug.
WARNING:
Exercise care near the power lugs when operating a
magnet. Metallic objects shorted across the lugs may conduct large DC
