NOTES ON OPERATION

This device fulfils all of the technical requirements that are
compiled in current EC guidelines. The characteristics of this
product qualify it for the CE mark.
The individual connecting leads are each not to be longer
than 2 m.
The instrument can be so influenced by electrostatic charges
and other electromagnetic phenomena (HF, bursts, indirect
lightning discharges) that it no longer works within the given
specifications. Carry out the following measures to reduce or
eliminate the effect of such disturbance: Ensure potential
equalization at the PC (especially with Laptops). Use screen-
ing.
