Handling
...
Remove the inner shipping box from the outer shipping box. The EIO should be handled by its yoke, painted red, or its aluminum base plate (usually gold alodyned).
...
The steel inner liner of the shipping container is a functioning magnetic shield.MOUNTING
Mounting
CAUTION:
THE RARE EARTH PERMANENT MAGNETS CAN POSE AN ATTRACTION HAZARD. DISTURBING THE STRY EXTERNAL MAGNETIC FIELD OF THE EIO MAY DETRIMENTALLY AFFECT EIK PERFORMANCE. ALL WRENCHES AND SCREWDRIVERS USED TO MOUNT AND ALIGN THE EIK MUST BE NON-MAGNETIC. MAGNETIC MATERIALS MUST BE KEPT AT LEAST 6 INCHES (15CM) FROM THE EIK, OTHER MAGNETS MUST BE KEPT AT LEAST 12 INCHES (30CM) AWAY.
The EIO may be mounted using holes provided with .250" hardware. Clearance is required for the electrical leads and the collector cooling assembly.
Cooling
...
General
This EIK must be water-cooled.
...
Water with contaminant levels that exceed the purity requirements will cause corrosion and scaling, this includes ordinary tap water. Unchecked corrosion of the metals in the EIK coolant passages reduces operating life. Scaling obstructs cooling passages preventing efficient heat transfer resulting in overheating and permanent damage. Continuous filtering, deionizing, and oxygen removal is necessary for maintaining high water purity.COOLANT
Coolant
Deionized water is the recommended coolant for EIK's.
...
FOR LIQUID COOLED COLLECTORS, ALL METAL COMPONENTS OF THE LIQUID-COOLING SYSTEM (EXCEPT THE EIK COLLECTOR) MUST BE GROUNDED TO PREVENT CHARGE ACCUMULATION (POTENTIALLY COLLECTOR TO BODY VOLTAGE) THROUGH THE COOLANT POSING AN OPERATOR HAZARD. REFER TO LIQUID COOLED COLLECTOR HAZARD IN Protective Measures (EIO)COOLANT CONNECTIONS
Coolant Connections
Coolant lines are attached using swagelock nuts and nylon ferrules. Excessive force must not be used when attaching the coolant hose. Adequate torque can be obtained using fingers only.
...
TEST WATER CONNECTIONS FOR LEAKS PRIOR TO APPLICATION OF HIGH VOLTAGES. CORRECT ANY COOLANT PROBLEMS IMMEDIATELY.

CAUTION:
ALTHOUGH THE HIGH VOLTAGE LEADS ARE ADEQUATELY INSULATED; THEY SHOULD BE SHIELDED FROM ACCIDENTAL CONTACT WITH PERSONNEL BY A SUITABLE GROUND SHIELD OR GROUNDED ENCLOSURE. TO PREVENT OR REDUCE CORONA, THEY MAY REQUIRE AN INCREASED AIR GAP OR INCREASED INSULATION.
