Warning:
water may enter the chassis, or water vapor may condense within the chassis. Operation of a Reference
3000 that has water within the chassis can create a safety hazard, which could result in personal injury or
death.
Cleaning
Disconnect the Reference 3000 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 Reference 3000 enclosure. Alternatively, you can use isopropyl alcohol. Do not use a wet rag or allow
fluid to enter the Reference 3000 enclosure. Do not immerse the Reference 3000 in any type of cleaning fluid
(including water). Do not use any abrasive cleaners.
Service
Your Reference 3000 Potentiostat/Galvanostat/ZRA has no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer all service to a
qualified service technician.
Warning:
open. Dangerous voltages may be present at several points within the Reference 3000 chassis, including PC
board traces. Always remove the power connection before opening the Reference 3000 case.
RFI Warning
Your Reference 3000 Potentiostat/Galvanostat/ZRA generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency energy.
The radiated levels are low enough that the Reference 3000 should not create an interference problem in most
industrial laboratory environments.
The Reference 3000 has been tested for both radiated and conducted RF interference and has been found to
be in compliance with FCC Part 18 and EN 61326:1998—Electrical equipment for measurement, control, and
laboratory use— EMC Requirements.
Electrical Transient Sensitivity
Your Reference 3000 Potentiostat/Galvanostat/ZRA was designed to offer reasonable immunity from electrical
transients, including transients on the incoming AC Mains supply and Electrostatic Discharge. It has been tested
for compliance with EN 61326:1998—Electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use—
EMC Requirements describing acceptable limits for Electrical Transient susceptibility in Laboratory Test
equipment. The Reference 3000 is not rated for continuous use when subject to ESD events. It should suffer no
permanent damage when subject to the standard ESD events defined in EN 61326 but may cease normal
operation until it is powered down and restarted.
In severe cases, the Reference 3000 could malfunction as a result of electrical transients such as a static
discharge. If you are having problems in this regard, the following steps may help:
If the problem is static electricity (sparks are apparent when you touch the Reference 3000 or its cables):
Safety Considerations – Cleaning
The Reference 3000 is not designed for operation in conditions where liquid
Never operate the Reference 3000 with any cover or panel on the chassis
