36 / 48 H171764_6_001
6.5 Equipment Safety
CAUTION:
• Do not bend the CryoProbe.
Do not hold the CryoProbe at its upper tube, always carry it at its body.
• Do not open the CryoProbe.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside. A CryoProbe cannot be sealed or
reassembled without special equipment. Even undoing some screws can destroy factory
settings and will in general render the CryoProbe unusable.
• Never force a CryoCoupler into position.
• Do not obstruct the operation of the safety-valves on the top and front faces of the
CryoProbe body.
• Never force a CryoCoupler into position.
• Do not move a cryogenically cold device.
• Do not try to fix a leak on a cold part because cracking of frozen O-rings, valves etc. may
occur.
• Excessive RF power can destroy the CryoProbe or the HPPR. Obey the limitations given
on the specific ‘LIMITATIONS - WARNINGS’ sheet.
