In this case the inner charging slots are disabled and cannot be used.
  • Page 18 Instruction Manual ‘REFRESH’, the display switches between ‘Full’ and the measured discharging capacity in mAh/Ah. ‘ERR’ and ‘Lo’ are displayed alternately if the rechargeable battery inserted has an internal short-circuit and so is defective. ‘ERR’ and ‘Hi’ are displayed alternately if the rechargeable battery inserted exhibits a very high resistance or a non-rechargeable battery is inserted.
  • Page 19: Electromagnetic Compatibility

    Dry Roof Pro’ Electromagnetic compatibility Electromagnetic Emissions - European Union Directive 2014/30/EU: Before operating this equipment, it is essential that the following risk assessment be taken. As this equipment will produce an electromagnetic emission when actually arcing down through a fault to earth, a risk assessment of the area in which the unit will be used should be carried out.
  • Page 20 Again, you should remember neighbouring works. The Dry Roof Pro’ is designed to meet the EMC directive therefore all leads are optimum length. If longer leads are used, then they could transmit similar to aerials and cause interference.
  • Page 21 Dry Roof Pro’ Always ensure that the tester and test piece is securely earthed because this will reduce any interference generated by the spark. This also prevents static build-up in the operator and thereby avoiding electric shock. Wherever you are intending to use equipment of this type, on your site or a customers, always obtain clearance from the company safety officer.
