Safety Considerations – CE Compliance
14
Placing your Reference 3000 on a static control work surface may help. Static-control work surfaces
are now generally available from computer-supply houses and electronics tool suppliers. An antistatic
floor mat may also help, particularly if a carpet is involved in generating the static electricity.
Air ionizers or even simple air humidifiers can reduce the voltage available in static discharges.
If the problem is AC power-line transients (often from large electrical motors near the Reference 3000):
Try plugging your Reference 3000 into a different AC power branch circuit.
Plug your Reference into a power-line surge suppressor. Inexpensive surge suppressors designed for
use with computer equipment are now generally available.
Contact Gamry Instruments, Inc. if these measures do not solve the problem.
CE Compliance
The European Community has instituted standards limiting radio-frequency interference emitted by electronic
devices, setting limits for susceptibility of apparatus to RF energy and transient events, and mandating safety
requirements. Gamry Instruments, Inc. has designed and tested the Reference 3000 to comply with these
standards.
The relevant CE regulations include EN 61010 and EN 61326.
RoHS Compliance
The Reference 3000 has been built using lead-free components and lead-free solder. It is in compliance with
the European RoHS initiative.
