WARNING: Refer to Accompanying Documentation
Electrical Hazard
WARNING: High Voltage, Electrical Shock Hazard
Hot Surface
WARNING: Hot Surface
Cold Surface
WARNING: Cold Surface
WARNING 1: The locations of potentially dangerous voltages and other hazards such as hot
surfaces or cold surfaces or compressed air/gases/vapors at high pressures are identified and
labeled on the equipment. Be careful to observe these warnings when installing, operating,
maintaining, or servicing the equipment. Observe all warnings given in this manual. Only use
the equipment for the intended usages specified by the manufacturer.
WARNING 2: The troubleshooting instructions contained in this manual can involve a
possible contact with electrical power at high voltages, compressed air at high pressures, and
refrigerants at high or vacuum pressures. These hazards can be injurious or dangerous to life.
Do not perform these instructions unless you qualify to do them.
WARNING 3: To avoid shock hazard, the equipment must be grounded with an adequate
earth ground per local electrical codes.
WARNING 4: When connecting thermocouple sensors to the Device Under Test (DUT),
electrically isolate the sensors to protect operators from contact with any hazardous voltages
which could be present at the DUT site.
WARNING 5: Parts inside the thermal head operate at extremely hot and cold temperatures
and are dangerous to touch. Do not perform any maintenance inside the thermal head until the
system is turned off. Wait until the head parts have reached a safe and stable temperature near
ambient.
WARNING 6: Keep your fingers out of the space between the thermal cap on the head and the
DUT site during the up/down motion of the System’s thermal head.
WARNING 7: Per SEMI S2-93A, energized electrical work (“Hot Work”) is specified by
Type as follows:

SAFETY
Warnings
ATS-515, -525 & ATS-615 & -625 Interface & Applications Manual 1-3
WARNING 8: Where equipment must be fully de-energized (electrically “cold”) to allow safe
entry into system, the following Lockout/Tagout procedure is required per OSHA 29 CFR
1910: a) For devices with a power cord which “unplugs” from a service receptacle, the end
user must supply and tag a Plug lockout shell which completely encloses the plug and prevents
accidental reconnection; b) for devices hardwired to the electrical supply, the end user must
install and tag a power disconnect switch with a lock out position, or install and tag a circuit
breaker with a lock out position, to prevent accidental reconnection.
WARNING 9: To de-energize the System for safe replacement of a module, turn off the ac
power (cease operations and power down), then turn off the System’s air pressure supply, then
bleed all air from System by turning on ac power just long enough to exhaust all air from
System. Now disconnect both the main power supply cord and disconnect the air supply line
from air supply port fitting on the rear frame module. The only stored energy remaining in the
System will then be that within some electrical capacitors. One large capacitor is near the
System’s air-chiller compressor. Other large capacitors are in the System’s electrical power
supplies.
WARNING 10: If service of the Air Chiller Module is required, only a licensed (and/or EPA
Certified) refrigeration service person, authorized by the Temptronic Corporation, is qualified
to perform any charging or handling of the refrigerants in the System.
WARNING 11: Under no circumstances (leak testing or any other purpose) is the Air Chiller
Module to be charged with any gas at a pressure above 150 psig (10.34 bar).
WARNING 12: To prevent high-pressure ejection of condensate (which may or may not
contain injurious substances) when draining moisture from the air filter elements, first turn off
the System's air pressure supply, second bleed all air from the System by turning on ac power
to the System just long enough to exhaust air in the System, third disconnect the supply line
from the air supply port fitting located on the rear panel.
WARNING 13: When cleaning condenser air inlet fins, use a soft brush and/or vacuum
cleaner, taking care not to bend inlet fins; as fins have sharp edges, to prevent getting cut, wear
protective gloves and/or do not touch inlet fins directly with fingers.

WARNING 14: Only use the coolants (heat transfer fluids) and refrigerants specified by the
manufacturer: they are carefully engineered to be safe for operating personnel, to be friendly to
the environment, to operate efficiently, and to not harm the equipment. Do not substitute
unauthorized coolants and refrigerants, nor mix (add) in unauthorized coolants or refrigerants:
doing so can cause warranties to be voided. Wear protective safety eye glasses, gloves, and
apron when filling coolants and refrigerants. Temptronic assumes no liability for damages
caused by use of unauthorized coolants and refrigerants.

CAUTION: Cold Surface
CAUTION 1: Observe the precautions given on the equipment and within this manual to
prevent damage to the equipment. Only use the equipment for the intended usages specified by
the manufacturer.
CAUTION 2: Unauthorized personnel should not remove from the equipment those panels
which are provided for protection and/or cooling and/or require a tool to remove.
CAUTION 3: Use proper handling and packaging procedures for static-sensitive circuit
boards. Assume that all circuit boards are the static-sensitive type.
CAUTION 4: Before connecting the equipment to its electrical source, check that the ~ (ac)
voltage and frequency to be supplied to the system are correct for those listed on the system’s
data plate (located on the rear panel of the equipment).
CAUTION 5: Disconnect the system’s power cord from its service supply before checking or
replacing any back-up batteries.
CAUTION 6: Be very careful to avoid damaging the two thermocouples which go from the
Head thermal cutout board into the main air stream through various connector/supports. These
thermocouples are very delicate. Do not cut, twist, or bend them as internal connections can be
broken.
CAUTION 7: When removing the flow control board, be extremely careful to avoid flexing
the board when disconnecting the inlet and outlet air hoses. Even a slight flexing of the board
can damage delicate components and/or wiring on the board.
CAUTION 8: When making the system air connection to the System, hold the AIR INPUT
fitting with a second wrench while tightening the barb fitting to prevent the AIR INPUT fitting
from rotating in the panel.

CAUTION 9: Use suitable Clean Dry Air (CDA) compressed air supply for the System: a) to
prevent premature fouling of the filters/regulator assemblies provided with the System, b) to
prevent ice forming from within the cooling module and possibly reducing or obstructing
output air flow. Improper air supply quality can cause damage to System internal operating
components.
CAUTION 10: Properly use and maintain the provided filters/regulator assemblies. Doing so
prevents moisture and/or compressor oils from being introduced into System operating
components. If left unchecked, moisture and/or compressor oil can cause damages to the
System which are not covered under warranty.
