Use a cloth lightly dampened with either clean water or water containing a mild detergent, to clean the
outside of the Reference 600+ enclosure. Alternatively, you may use isopropyl alcohol. Do not use a wet
rag or allow fluid to enter the Reference 600+ enclosure. Do not immerse the Reference 600+ in any type
of cleaning fluid (including water). Do not use any abrasive cleaners.
Service
Your Reference 600+ Potentiostat/Galvanostat/ZRA has no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer all service to
a qualified service technician.
RF Warning
Your Reference 600+ Potentiostat/Galvanostat/ZRA generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency
energy. The radiated levels are low enough that the Reference 600+ should not create an interference
problem in most industrial laboratory environments.
The Reference 600+ has been tested for both radiated and conducted RF interference and has been found
to be in compliance with FCC Part 18 and EN 61326:1998—Electrical equipment for measurement,
control, and laboratory use—EMC Requirements.
Electrical Transient Sensitivity
Your Reference 600+ Potentiostat/Galvanostat/ZRA was designed to offer reasonable immunity from
electrical transients, including transients on the incoming AC mains supply and electrostatic discharge. It
has been tested for compliance with EN 61326:1998—Electrical equipment for measurement, control, and
laboratory use—EMC Requirements describing acceptable limits for electrical transient susceptibility in
laboratory test equipment. The Reference 600+ is not rated for continuous use when subject to ESD
events. It should suffer no permanent damage when subject to the standard ESD events defined in
EN61326, but may cease normal operation until it is powered down and restarted.
In severe cases, the Reference 600+ could malfunction as a result of electrical transients such as a static
discharge. If you are having problems in this regard, the following steps may help:
If the problem is static electricity (sparks are apparent when you touch the Reference 600+ or its cables):
• Try placing your Reference 600+ on a static-control work surface. Static-control work surfaces are
now generally available from computer-supply houses and electronics-tool suppliers. An antistatic
floor mat may also help, particularly if a carpet is involved in generating the static electricity.
• Air ionizers or even simple air humidifiers can reduce the voltage available in static discharges.
• If the problem is AC power-line transients (often from large electrical motors near the Reference
600+):
• Try plugging your Reference 600+ into a different AC power branch circuit.
• Plug your Reference into a power-line surge-suppressor. Inexpensive surge-suppressors are now
generally available because of their use with computer equipment.
Contact Gamry Instruments, Inc. if these measures do not solve the problem.
