Chapter 3 -- Installation
This chapter of the Gamry Instruments Inc. Interface 1000 Operator's Manual covers normal installation of the
Interface 1000. We assume the Interface 1000 is installed as part of a Gamry Framework based
electrochemical measurement system containing a Microsoft Windows compatible computer.

Initial Visual Inspection
After you remove your Interface 1000 from its shipping carton, you should check it for any signs of shipping
damage. If any damage is noted, please notify Gamry Instruments, Inc. and the shipping carrier immediately.
Save the shipping container for possible inspection by the carrier.
The "reinforced insulation" that keeps the operator from accessing the "hazardous live"
voltages in the Interface 1000 can be rendered ineffective if the Interface 1000 is
damaged in shipment. Do not operate damaged apparatus until a qualified service
technician has verified its safety. Tag a damaged Interface 1000 to indicate that it could
be a safety hazard.
If the Interface 1000 is taken from a cold location (for example outdoors in winter
conditions) to a warm humid location, water vapor could condense on the cold surfaces
inside the Interface 1000, possibly creating a hazardous condition. The "reinforced
insulation" that keeps the operator from accessing the "hazardous live" voltages in the
Interface 1000 can be rendered ineffective if the Interface 1000 has condensed water
inside its case. Before connecting power to a "cold" Interface 1000, allow at least one
hour for the Interface 1000 to warm at room temperature.
