Standby

Powering Off the ARES-G2
If the instrument is expected to be disassembled for maintenance, disconnected from its compressed air
source, or is being moved, then it is necessary to turn the power to the system completely off. Please follow
these instructions:
•
Use the rocker switch/ circuit-breaker located on the lower part of the rear panel on the Power Control-
ler to remove all power from all components plugged into the Power Controller.
•
Please make every effort to put the instrument into the “Standby” state before disconnecting power.
Switching off the power while the system is operating may damage electronics or mechanical systems.
•
Removing power from the system will cause some settings (specifically the Gap-Zero measurement)
to be lost. It will be necessary to re-zero the test fixture after power is restored.
•
Power should be turned off and the system unplugged from the main power source if there is a reason-
able expectation of a large electrical disturbance on the main power source. (Severe weather, antici-
pated power outage, utility work, or anticipated extraordinary power-line transients.)
•
Removing power from the system is not recommended as a daily practice; it is preferable to leave the
system in its “Standby” state unless there is a specific reason to completely remove power.
