Product-Specific Information - TESTO 570 Series Instruction Manual

•
In principle, contact with escaping battery components may present a risk to
health and to the environment. Adequate body and respiratory protection is
therefore required when in contact with batteries that exhibit abnormalities
(escaping contents, deformations, discolourations, dents or the like).
•
Batteries must be disposed of in accordance with the local and country-
specific regulations. In order to prevent short circuits and the associated
heating, lithium batteries must never be stored unprotected in bulk.
Appropriate measures against short circuits are, for instance, inserting the
batteries into the original packaging or a plastic bag, masking the poles or
embedding them in dry sand.
•
Lithium batteries must be transported and shipped in accordance with the
local and country-specific regulations.
•
If there is any contact with the skin or eyes, the areas must be rinsed with
water for at least 15 minutes. If there is any contact with the eyes, a doctor
must be contacted in addition to the rinsing.
•
If burns are caused, these must be treated appropriately. You are also
strongly advised to contact a doctor.
•
Airways: leave the room immediately when smoke development or gas
release is acute. Consult a doctor when amounts are larger and airways are
irritated.
•
Swallowing: rinse out mouth and surrounding area with water. Get medical
assistance immediately.

Product-specific information

The measuring instrument being dropped or any other comparable
mechanical stress may cause breakage of the pipe pieces in the
refrigerant hoses. The valve positioners may also suffer damage,
causing further damage inside the measuring instrument that is not
necessarily visible externally.
- Therefore, always replace the refrigerant hoses with new ones after
the measuring instrument is dropped or after any comparable
mechanical stress.
- For your own safety, you should return the measuring instrument to
the Testo Customer Service for technical inspection.
Electrostatic charging may destroy the instrument.
- Integrate all the components (system, manifold's valve block,
refrigerant bottle, etc.) into the potential bonding (earthing).
- Please see the safety instructions for the system and the refrigerant
used.
