fused. Enough current can flow to burn up the wires quickly. It is
possible for battery cables shorted together to "weld." This will
cause almost immediate melting and burning of the wire insu-
lation until the wire melts open at some point.
Fire, severe burns to the hands, and the release of toxic
fumes are all possible from such a mishap.
If you intend to use any power source other than an Isco bat-
tery or power converter, be sure of proper voltage and polar-
ity before connecting power to the equipment.
Never attach equipment to a power source of unknown polarity
or voltage. Never attach equipment directly to an AC power
source under any circumstances, regardless of voltage.
If you are in doubt, check the power with a reliable DC volt-
meter. Failure to observe this caution could create a shock or fire
hazard, cause serious damage to the instrument, and it could
also put you at risk of serious personal injury.
