INITIAL SETUP AND CONNECTIONS
2.1 INSPECTING AND UNPACKING
The MPS ships in a special cardboard box with integrated forklift skid openings. Do not stack anything on top
of the MPS box. Upon receipt, set the box on a level surface with the pallet side down. Inspect the shipping
container for external damage. Make all claims for damage (apparent or concealed) or partial loss of
shipment in writing to Lake Shore within five (5) days from receipt of goods. If damage or loss is apparent,
notify the shipping agent immediately.
Cut off the plastic strapping and lift off the lid. Locate the MPS packing list and use it to check for receipt of all
components, cables, accessories, and manuals. Inspect each item for damage. Use two people to lift the
MPS. Retain internal packing material and box for reshipment. Fill out and send the warranty card.
If there is freight damage to any instruments, promptly file proper claims with the carrier and insurance
company and notify Lake Shore Cryotronics. Notify Lake Shore of any missing parts immediately. Lake Shore
cannot be responsible for any missing parts unless notified within 60 days of shipment. See the standard
Lake Shore Cryotronics, Inc. Warranty on the A Page (immediately behind the title page).
2.2 MPS
MOUNTING
After unpacking the MPS and verifying receipt of all packing list items, mount the instrument in a suitable
location. The MPS ships with feet installed and is ready for use as a bench top instrument. The MPS also
ships with 19-inch rack mounting hardware installed for mounting in a standard 19-inch rack enclosure.
CAUTION: To install the MPS in a 19-inch rack mount enclosure at any position other than the bottom,
install a slide rail or runner to support the MPS.
2.3 ENVIRONMENTAL
REQUIREMENTS
Operate the MPS in an area with an ambient temperature range of 20 to 30 °C (68 to 86 °F). The unit may be
operated within the range of 15 to 35 °C (59 to 95 °F) with reduced accuracy.
The MPS is intended for laboratory use: no specific humidity or altitude specifications have been determined.
However, relative humidity of 20 to 80 percent (no condensation) and altitudes from sea level to 2.4 km
(8,000 feet) are generally acceptable.
WARNING: To prevent electrical fire or shock hazards, do not expose this instrument to moisture.
Provide adequate ventilation. The fan-cooled MPS draws air in from the sides and exhausts it from the rear;
install it with sufficient space at the rear and sides for air flow. Filter dust and other particulate matter at the
site to a reasonable level. For salt air, corrosive gases, or other air pollutants, consult an air-conditioning
expert for special filtering arrangements.
