Repackaging for Shipment
 
The original packing materials should be 
saved for reshipment of the SR560. If the 
original packing materials are not available, 
wrap the instrument in polyethylene 
sheeting or equivalent and place in a strong 
box, cushioning it on all sides by at least 
three inches of high-density foam or other 
filler material. 
 
 
Use in Biomedical Applications
 
Under certain conditions, the SR560 may 
prove to be unsafe for applications involving 
human subjects. Incorrect grounding, 
component failure, and excessive common-
mode input voltages are examples of 
conditions in which the instrument may 
expose the subject to large input currents. 
Therefore, Stanford Research Systems 
does not recommend the SR560 for such 
applications. 
 
 
Warning Regarding Use with 
Photomultipliers 
 
The front-end amplifier of this instrument is 
easily damaged if a photomultiplier is used 
improperly with the amplifier. When left 
completely unterminated, a cable connected 
to a PMT can charge to several hundred 
volts in a relatively short time. If this cable 
is connected to the inputs of the SR560, the 
stored charge may damage the front-end 
FETs. To avoid this problem, provide a 
leakage path of about 100 kΩ to ground 
inside the base of the PMT to prevent 
charge accumulation.

Warning regarding battery 
maintenance 
 
Batteries used in this instrument are seal 
lead acid batteries. With usage and time 
these batteries can leak. Always use and 
store this instrument in the feet-down 
position. To prevent possible damage to the 
circuitboard, it is recommended that the 
batteries be periodically inspected for any 
signs of leakage.
