The user must make sure to discharge his-/herself from any electrical charge before touching the potentiostat (TIP: use grounded ESD-matts). Maintain the maximum input voltage of the device and the selected voltage range. Use electrically insulated thermocouples. Do not expose the PAD4 card to heat.
