Chapter 3: Installation
This chapter of the Gamry Instruments Inc. Interface 1010 Operator's Manual covers normal installation of the
Interface 1010. We assume the Interface 1010 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 1010 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 1010 can be rendered ineffective if the Interface 1010 is
damaged in shipment. Do not operate damaged apparatus until a qualified service technician has verified
its safety. Tag a damaged Interface 1010 to indicate that it could be a safety hazard.
If the Interface 1010 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 1010, possibly creating
a hazardous condition. Before connecting power to a "cold" Interface 1010, allow at least one hour for the
Interface 1010 to warm at room temperature.
Physical Location
Normally users place their Interface 1010 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 1010 is generally operated
in a flat position (see Figure 3-1). Operation in other positions is possible as long as you ensure that air
movement through the chassis is not restricted.
Caution: Do not block the airflow into or out of the Interface 1010 chassis. The Interface
1010 will enter a power-down state if it becomes overheated. If this occurs during data-acquisition, you
may lose experimental data.
