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
Personalization Area
Initial Visual Inspection
After you remove your Interface 1000 from its shipping carton, check it for any signs of shipping damage. If
you note any damage, please notify Gamry Instruments, Inc. and the shipping carrier immediately. Save the
shipping container for possible inspection by the carrier.
Warning: 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 may condense on the cold surfaces inside the Interface 1000, possibly
creating a hazardous condition. Before connecting power to a "cold" Interface 1000, allow at least one
hour for the Interface 1000 to warm at room temperature.
Physical Location
Normally users place their Interface 1000 on a flat workbench surface. Keep easy access to the rear of the
instrument because some cable connections are made from the rear. The Interface 1000 is generally operated
in a flat position (see Figure 3-1). Operation in other positions is possible as long as you insure that air
movement through the chassis is not restricted.
