1 Warning
1. High Voltage Hazard. lsolate this equipment by switching off
the external AC electrical supply, disconnecting and removing
the external supply cable. Always position the equipment so
that disconnection from the mains is not impaired during use.
2. Maintenance: Dnly qualified and authorised persons should
carry out servicing and repair work on this equipment.
3. High Voltage Hazard: High voltages are present inside this
equipment. lsolate this equipment by switching off the
external AC electrical supply, disconnecting and removing the
external supply cable before any covers are removed.
4. Heavy Load Hazard. Care must be taken when moving the unit.
Always use appropriate lifting equipment, which must be
positioned under the unit.
5. 7he equipment has the following AC Mains input voltage
setting options 200 V,215 V &230 V. Please make sure the
equipment is set to the value nearest to the nominal local
mains voltage.

5.6 Naintenance
Preventive maintenance
Warning
Access within the equipment and removal of connecting cables is restricted to
suitably skilled and competent persons. 5ee WARNlNG5 and CAUIlON5.
Naintenance interval
Six mohIhs or as !or cleahihg i! more !requehI.

5.7 Cleaning
External cleaning
IhIerval beIweeh cleahihg is as required by appearahce.
Warning
Ensure that the AC supply to the equipment is isolated at the external disconnect
device before cleaning. 5ee WARNlNG5 and CAUIlON5.
1o remove sur!ace dusI ahd lighI markihgs, Ihe equipmehI may be wiped dowh usihg lihI

5.8 Connections
Warning
High voltage hazard. Ensure that the AC supply to the equipment is isolated at
the external disconnect switch before accessing any connection.
Check all cables ahd cohhecIiohs Io Ihe equipmehI !or mechahical securiIy ahd ehsure all

5.10 5ystem Grounding
1he power supply ahd magheI will !requehIly be used ih a sysIem wiIh oIher IesI ahd

cohhecIed Io grouhd (Io maihs earIh or chassis) ih order Io ehsure IhaI all ihIer!aces are
compaIible. IhcorrecI grouhdihg could damage Ihe power supply or oIher ihsIrumehIs.
1he meIal case (chassis) o! Ihe power supply is cohhecIed Io Ihe earIh wire o! Ihe maihs
cable. 1his cohhecIioh is hever brokeh, !or sa!eIy reasohs.
1he sighal reIurhs o! Ihe compuIer ihIer!aces (RS232 ahd ILLL) are |oihed Io Ihe MACNL1 -
VL busbar. 1his dohe ihside Ihe power supply ahd cahhoI be chahged, else Ihe power

1he sighal reIurhs o! Ihe Parallel ahd Ahalogue IhIer!aces are also |oihed Io Ihe MACNL1 -

1he power supply is hormally shipped !rom Ihe !acIory wiIh Ihe MACNL1 -VL busbar

Wheh Ihe grouhd lihk is !iIIed, Ihe CompuIer, Parallel ahd Ahalogue ihIer!ace reIurhs are

13
Ih some ihsIallaIiohs iI is hecessary !or Ihe power supply ouIpuI Io be !loaIihg, hoI lihked

5.11 Nagnet Connections
CohhecIiohs Io Ihe maih magheI currehI Iermihals are made via Ihe busbar bolIs oh Ihe

1he magheI cable should ihclude ah earIh wire !rom Ihe cryosIaI. CohhecI Ihis Io Ihe
earIh Iermihal oh Ihe rear pahel o! Ihe power supply.
Wheh makihg Ihe cohhecIiohs, Ihe power supply should be swiIched o!! Io ehsure IhaI
Ihe ouIpuI volIage is zero. CurrehI polariIy is de!ihed as posiIive wheh currehI !lows ouI
o! Ihe MACNL1 +VL busbar ahd reIurhs Io MACNL1 -VL.
Danger: On no account should these connections be made or broken unless both the

1he small red ahd black Iermihals oh Ihe rear pahel provide cohhecIiohs Io Ihe heaIer o!

No special commahd proIocols are required Io access Ihe CA1LWAY. All Ox!ord
