1.6 SAFETY
SUMMARY
Observe these general safety precautions during all phases of instrument operation, service, and repair.
Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety
standards of design, manufacture, and intended instrument use. Lake Shore Cryotronics, Inc. assumes no
liability for Customer failure to comply with these requirements.
The Model 330 protects the operator and surrounding area from electric shock or burn, mechanical hazards,
excessive temperature, and spread of fire from the instrument. Environmental conditions outside of the
conditions below may pose a hazard to the operator and surrounding area.
• Temperature: 5 °C to 40 °C.
• Maximum relative humidity: 80% for temperature up to 31 °C decreasing linearly to 50% at 40 °C.
• Power supply voltage fluctuations not to exceed ±10% of the nominal voltage.
Ground The Instrument
To minimize shock hazard, connect the instrument chassis and cabinet an electrical ground. The instrument
is equipped with a three-conductor AC power cable. Plug the power cable into an approved three-contact
electrical outlet or use a three-contact adapter with the grounding wire (green) firmly connected to an
electrical ground (safety ground) at the power outlet. The power jack and mating plug of the power cable
meet Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standards.
Do Not Operate In An Explosive Atmosphere
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation of any electrical
instrument in such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.
Keep Away From Live Circuits
Operating personnel must not remove instrument covers. Refer component replacement and internal
adjustments to qualified maintenance personnel. Do not replace components with power cable connected.
To avoid injuries, always disconnect power and discharge circuits before touching them.
Do Not Substitute Parts Or Modify Instrument
Do not install substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification to the instrument. Return the
instrument to an authorized Lake Shore Cryotronics representative for service and repair to ensure that
safety features are maintained.
