2.1. Warranty
The HiSorb Agitator is designed for laboratory use only. It is not intended for use in domestic
establishments or establishments directly connected to a low-voltage power supply network that supplies
buildings used for domestic purposes.
Where the HiSorb Agitator is used in a field environment, care must be taken to
ensure that it is not exposed to detrimental conditions, i.e. rain, wind, or sun. Exposure may diminish the
performance, cause damage to the instrument, and/or cause the instrument to become unsafe to the
user.
If the instrument is not used in a way specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the
instrument may be reduced. System failures arising from such use may not be covered in standard
warranty and service contract documents.
2.2. Regulatory certifications
The instrument is designed and manufactured under a quality system registered to ISO 9001.
