!
CAUTION:
NEVER select “Factory Default” in the Diagnostic Menu. “Factory Defaults”
are NOT the TestEquity configuration parameters for this chamber. If you
select “Factory Defaults”, you must reconfigure all System and Operation
Parameters as documented in the TestEquity manual, NOT the “EZ-Zone PM
User’s Manual”.
!
CAUTION:
The EZ-Zone Temperature Controller “Alarm” function is NOT used in the
chamber and is NOT connected.
!
WARNING:
Do NOT put items in the chamber that can emit corrosive vapors or
substances.
!
WARNING:
This chamber is NOT a curing oven. There are NO provisions for venting
fumes.
!
WARNING:
The chamber door must remain closed while the chamber is operating. If you
need to open the door while the chamber is operating, wear safety goggles to
prevent the high velocity airflow from blowing particles or objects into your
eyes.
!
CAUTION:
If your test sample is energized, it may be capable of raising the workspace
temperature beyond safe limits. This could occur if your test sample exceeds
the live load rating of the chamber or if the chamber’s cooling system fails.
You are responsible for providing thermal protection devices to your test
sample.
!
CAUTION:
To prevent damage to your test sample and the thermoelectric devices, do not
exceed the live load rating of the chamber.
