Ch. 20. Safety Precautions Sec. 20.4. Instrument Weight
20.3.2. Fuses
Adhere to the fuse ratings appropriate to the main supply voltage listed on the back side of the ARC2
controller. Not following the recommended ratings may cause the instrument to overheat or sustain
damage.
20.3.3. Overheating
Keep the backside of the ARC2 clear. Cool air is drawn into the heat sinks on the back of the ARC2
controller and two fans exhaust warm air from the same place. Obstructing any part of the ARC2 back
will cause power supplies and electronics to overheat.
Keep the top of the Cypher SPM backpack clear of items. The backpack is passively cooled and requires
all the heat fins on the side and top be in open air. Don’t place paper or notebooks on top of the backpack.
20.4. Instrument Weight
The Cypher instrument is made of many heavy metal parts. Be prepared to have two people on hand
whenever lifting of the empty enclosure is required. If you are thinking of lifting or moving the instru-
ment (even a few inches) you MUST first contact Asylum Research or your instrument will be damaged
and you will experience downtime and incur costs.
Note Even the scanner module is quite heavy. Be prepared to support its weight as you pull it from the
support rails.
