Gamry Instruments does not recommend using the EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN in non-emergency situations.

Any data already collected in an experiment can be lost.

The button has a mechanical reset. It only resets when you turn it one-half turn clockwise. Reset will not turn

the cell switch back on. It will turn off the EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN LED and repower the control amplifier.

Caution:

into or out of the Reference 30k Booster's high-current cell leads. It does not protect against dangerous cell

conditions that do not involve current flow into the booster, such as short circuits within the cell. For this

reason, it does not replace safety precautions against explosion, fire, or chemical spills in the cell.

A Reference 3000/Reference 30k Booster system in EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN mode

disappears from the Windows Device Manger. It therefore will not appear as a device in Gamry's

Framework software. When you reset the EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN control, the device should reappear

in Windows after a few seconds.

Front-panel Connectors

There are three connectors on the front panel of the Reference 30k Booster.

The Working terminal is a high-current connector that normally connects to the working electrode of an

electrochemical cell. It can handle currents up to 30 A.

This terminal is a USA 3/8" × #16 bolt. It is normally connected to the cell with a heavy-gauge, low-

inductance cable. The standard length cable is 90 cm long. Its Gamry P/N is 985-00122.

The EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN switch only prevents current flow from the cell
