Chapter 1: Safety Considerations

 

10 

If the problem is AC power-line transients (often from large electrical motors near the TDC5): 
 
Try plugging your TDC5 into a different AC-power branch circuit.   

Plug your TDC5 into a power-line surge suppressor. Inexpensive surge suppressors are now generally available 
because of their use with computer equipment. 

Contact Gamry Instruments, Inc. if these measures do not solve the problem.
