Caution! The Faraday Shield is not designed for operation in conditions where liquid
water may enter the chassis, or water vapor may condense

Use with dangerous materials

Do not use the Faraday Shield with hazardous gases or other poisonous or noxious materials.
Warning! Do not connect the Faraday Shield unit to poisonous, noxious, or explosive
materials. Failure to observe this warning could cause injury or property damage. The
Faraday Shield is not gas or liquid tight. Use the same precautions as if using an open
electrochemical cell on a bench. Operate in a hood (fume cupboard) if dangerous gases
are used.

Cleaning

When cleaning the Faraday Shield, disconnect any equipment inside from all power sources prior to cleaning.
Use a cloth lightly dampened with either clean water or water containing a mild detergent to clean the outside of
the enclosure. Alternatively, you can use isopropyl alcohol. Do not use a wet rag or allow fluid to enter the
enclosure. Do not immerse the Faraday Shield in any type of cleaning fluid (including water). Do not use any
abrasive cleaners.
Caution! Read and understand the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for any solvent,
such as isopropyl alcohol, before use. Always take appropriate precautions when using
these materials.

Leakage inside

The Faraday Shield is not sealed to be liquid tight. Avoid spills and promptly clean up any spills that do occur.
