Cords, Connectors, And Cables; Electrolyte; Lightning - Geodesic Sensor Net Technical Manual

Cords, Connectors, and Cables

Following are WARNINGs regarding the GSN's cords, connectors, and cables.
As stated in the Preface, warnings denote important information that, if
unheeded, could result in serious injury or death:
• Inspect your connectors and cables. To reduce the risk of electrical shock,
discontinue use of worn or damaged electrical connectors and cables.

Electrolyte

Electrolyte solutions (including those used by the GSN) are excellent electrical
conductors. Implement and maintain disciplined procedures so that there is no
chance of spilling electrolyte on any electronic equipment, including the system.

Lightning

Caution!: System isolation is designed to protect the subject even if a high-voltage
source is accidentally applied to either the subject or the system. However, because
of the large, unpredictable electrical charges involved in a lightning strike,
disconnect the subject and discontinue the data-acquisition session during a
thunderstorm.
