4. Safety instructions
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 meas-
uring operations involving thermocouples pronounced changes in tem-
perature may cause substantial measuring errors. You are advised
therefore to wait until the device has adjusted to the ambient tempera-
ture before starting to use it.
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 iso-
•
lated from one another
4.2 Handling batteries / rechargeable batteries cor-
rectly
When inserting batteries / rechargeable batteries ensure that
these are correctly polarized.
If the device will probably not be needed for a relatively long pe-
riod of time or if the batteries are empty, remove the batteries; this
will prevent battery acid leaking onto the device and damaging it.
Rechargeable batteries should be recharged as and when nec-
essary.
You should never attempt to recharge an ordinary (non-recharge-
able) 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 together with normal domestic waste.
