Special Notes On Use; Handling Batteries / Rechargeable Batteries Correctly - Ahlborn ALMEMO 2470-1S Operating Instruction

4. Safety instructions
DANGER Warning - explosive atmospheres or substances
In the vicinity of various fuels or chemicals there is a risk of ex-
plosion
Do not use the device in the vicinity of blasting work or filling
stations

4.1 4.1 Special notes on use

If the device is brought into the work-room from a cold environment
•
there is a risk that condensation might form on the electronics. In
measuring operations involving thermocouples pronounced changes in
temperature may cause substantial measuring errors. You are advised
therefore, before starting to use the device, to wait until it has adjusted
to the ambient temperature.
Before using the mains adapter make sure that the mains voltage is
•
suitable.
Be sure to observe the maximum load capacity of the sensor power
•
supply.
Sensors with their own integrated power supply are not electrically isol-
•
ated from one another (see 8.3).

4.2 Handling batteries / rechargeable batteries correctly

When inserting batteries / rechargeable batteries ensure that the
polarity is correct.
If the device will probably not be needed for a relatively long
period of time or if the batteries are empty, the batteries should
be removed; this will prevent battery acid leaking onto the device
and damaging it.
Rechargeable batteries should be recharged as and when ne-
cessary.
You should never attempt to recharge an ordinary (non-re-
chargeable) battery; it may explode.
Batteries / rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited
or thrown onto the fire.
Batteries / rechargeable batteries are special waste and must
not be discarded as normal domestic waste
