Avoid dangers, take safety measures

When operating the PD-SGS observe the following rules and guidelines:
Accident prevention and environment protection rules applicable for your country

Safety instructions and regulations of the country where the PD-SGS is being used

(according to the latest version)
EU/EFTA countries: EN 50110 "Operation of electrical installations"

Other countries: the standard for operating electrical systems applicable for your country
If necessary, other national and international standards and guidelines in accordance

with the latest applicable version
Local safety and accident prevention regulations

Liability insurance association regulations (if any).

Technically secure state of the device
Safety, function and availability depend on the proper condition of the device. Upgrades,
modifications or alterations to the product are prohibited.
 Operate the device only in a technically perfect condition.
 In the case of damage and/or malfunction, immediately stop the device, identify
accordingly and have the faults rectified by appropriately qualified and authorised
personnel.
 Comply with the inspection and maintenance conditions.
 Use only accessories and original spare parts recommended by BAUR. The use of spare
parts, accessories and optional extras that are not tested and approved by BAUR could
adversely affect the safety, function and characteristics of the product.
 Never take apart the device. The device does not contain any components that could be
serviced or repaired by the user.
Do not operate under damp or humid conditions
Condensation can form in devices and systems due to temperature fluctuations and high air
humidity, which in some components can lead to leakage currents and flashovers.
Maximum danger arises when relatively high air humidity and temperature fluctuations occur
consecutively, e.g. which is the case when storing the device in an unheated room or when
placed outdoors. Then when the device is exposed to a high ambient temperature, the cold
surfaces of the device cool the air in the immediate vicinity, which leads to the formation of
condensation, even inside the device.
Therefore, two factors are crucial:
The higher the relative air humidity, the faster the dew point is reached and water is

condensed.
The higher the temperature difference between the surfaces and the ambient air, the

more likely condensation will occur.
 To prevent condensation, always temper the device and system before and during
measurements to minimise the risk of condensation.
